Animal Care Center was established in 1999 by Dr. Pam Nichols. Her goal was to provide high quality veterinary medicine in a place where all pets are treated like family members. Animal Care Center was awarded AAHA certification with honors that same year. AAHA certification and recognition are awarded to approximately 14% of hospitals nationwide that have demonstrated excellence in medicine, surgery, record keeping, and a commitment to continuing education and excellence.
Dr. Pam has always believed that every pet deserves the best care possible and every pet owner deserves the most information available in order to make the best decisions for his or her pet. To accomplish this, she has set the highest requirements for both the veterinarians and staff, in training and learning as well as instruction in the use of the newest equipment.
There may be times when you and your pet may be referred to a specialist, either within our hospital or to another specialist facility. Animal Care Center offers specialties such as acupuncture with Dr. Verona Scheurich, echocardiopraphy or endoscopy with Dr. Watkins, ultrasound with Dr. Archibald, or orthopedics with Dr. Smith. Outside specialty facilities we work with include the Eye Care Clinic for Animals in Salt Lake City.
