    Company Overview
    The Pet Care Center has served the Metairie community since 1958, building a legacy of comprehensive, high-quality care. We are honored to hold American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accreditation, meaning we regularly meet or exceed the rigorous standards recognized worldwide as the benchmark for quality medicine. Only 15% of hospitals achieve this status, covering critical areas like surgery, diagnostics, and patient safety. This commitment to excellence is deeply appreciated by our community, reflected in our excellent 4.6-star Google rating.

Our robust structure allows us to maintain the demanding AAHA standards across every aspect of the hospital, including surgical procedures, anesthesia, and comprehensive emergency services. We are open seven days a week until 11:00 PM, and our comprehensive coverage and team support ensure that you have the internal resources and communication channels needed to succeed in complex urgent care scenarios and long-term patient management.
    You will be working in a modern, full-service small animal environment dedicated to advanced care. We focus on providing detailed Wellness and Prevention services, advanced Testing and Diagnostics, and specialized Surgical Procedures. Our team manages a stimulating caseload by providing critical Urgent Care and Emergency services seven days a week, offering immediate support to the local New Orleans area and expanding your opportunity to manage diverse and demanding medical challenges. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality medical care available so your patients may experience a longer, healthier life through proactive and advanced treatment plans.
    Pet Care Center is conveniently located in Metairie, Louisiana, serving the immediate community and surrounding areas, including greater New Orleans. Metairie provides the comfortable accessibility and dedicated community feel of a major suburb while offering quick access to all the renowned cultural richness, diverse dining, and professional resources of the New Orleans metro area. You will find a strong, engaged pet-owning clientele that highly values the comprehensive, high-standard medical services we provide, allowing you to build lasting professional relationships and enjoy life in a vibrant Gulf Coast community.
