"I started Family VetCare almost 30 years ago, fresh out of veterinary school with huge aspirations and a large heart. "A profession in veterinary medicine was a natural combination for my passion for helping animals and my love for people."
Bill Wodiske, M.D.

Family VetCare first opened its doors in Mesa, Arizona, in 1982. In Phoenix, Chandler, and Mesa, we now have three full-service veterinary hospitals. To care for all of your pet's health needs, we maintain the greatest facilities, veterinary technologies, and the most dedicated personnel.

We recognize how distressing the end-of-life process can be for you, your family, and your pet. We do everything we can to make the process as stress-free as possible for you and your pet, allowing them to stay in their familiar surroundings.

Adopting a rescue pet expands your family while also saving a life. Our Ethical No-Kill PhilosophyTM assures that no pet in our shelters is ever euthanized due to space or time constraints.
