About Us

Welcome! We’re excited to introduce ourselves as the proud owners of this beloved clinic, which has been a trusted and caring part of the community for over 22 years. Now, after over a year of ownership, we are more grateful than ever for the support and trust you have shown our family and team. Dr. Fender and his wife, Cari, bring years of experience and a family-focused approach. Having previously owned a successful veterinary practice in Tucson, they understand the importance of treating every client and pet as part of our extended family.

​

We’re also thrilled to share some exciting news about the future of our clinic! Over the coming months, our facility will be expanding from 1,800 square feet to 3,720 square feet. This growth will allow us to better serve our patients and community by adding three additional exam rooms (for a total of five), significantly increasing our ability to offer more appointment times and reduce wait times for care. Estimated completion date is the Summer of 2026. 

​

In addition, we are adding a second surgery suite. This expansion will allow us to perform more everyday surgical procedures while also offering more advanced and complex surgeries that Dr. Fender can provide, alongside our trusted colleague, Dr. Singer, a board-certified surgeon. Our goal is to continue growing our services while maintaining the personalized, compassionate care you expect from a locally owned practice.

​

We’re proudly independently owned—not part of a corporate chain—allowing us to make every decision with your pet’s best interest at heart. Our commitment remains the same: to provide personal, compassionate, high-quality veterinary care in a welcoming, family-oriented environment.

​

Conveniently located in a large shopping center that includes a PetSmart, Tucson Rescue Now Adoption Center, A Loyal Companion Rehab Center, Trader Joe's, and a Starbucks, we would love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to call us for an appointment or simply stop by to say hello. We look forward to welcoming you to our clinic family as we grow and continue serving this wonderful community.

We understand that the cost of surgery can be overwhelming. As a privately owned clinic, we’re able to offer many advanced and complex procedures at more affordable prices, thanks to Dr. Fender’s surgical expertise. Our mission is to provide high-quality, compassionate care to the pets of Tucson without ever compromising on safety or excellence.
