About Patt Veterinary Hospital
For over 70 years, Patt Veterinary Hospital has been a cornerstone of compassionate pet care in Western Montgomery County. As the area’s oldest neighborhood veterinary hospital, we take pride in delivering high-quality veterinary medicine with a strong focus on client communication and support. Conveniently located between Allentown, Reading, and King of Prussia—just 45 minutes from Philadelphia—our community offers a blend of suburban and rural living, making it an ideal place to build both a career and a home.  

As a 4-doctor practice, our dedicated team of veterinarians and support staff share a deep commitment to improving the lives of animals and the people who love them. We foster a welcoming, collaborative work environment that prioritizes flexibility and work-life balance. Our hospital is designed with both patient care and staff well-being in mind, featuring spacious exam rooms with natural light and a peaceful location surrounded by open space.

In 2020, Patt Veterinary Hospital underwent a significant renovation to enhance both patient care and client comfort. The entire hospital floor was updated, including a modernized reception area designed to create a welcoming first impression. We expanded and upgraded our dental treatment area, refreshed the surgery suite, and installed a new state-of-the-art x-ray machine. To better serve our growing community, we also added another exam room and a dedicated euthanasia room that leads to a tranquil memorial garden, providing families with a private, peaceful space during difficult moments.
