Paws & Claws is a three-doctor practice owned by Dr. Meg Roth. Dr. Michele Sandefur, who owned the hospital from 2004, and Dr. Jennifer Parham, here since 2007, still see patients every week. Our practice manager, Dawn, has been here since the doors opened. Clients who came in with a puppy twenty years ago now bring in that puppy's successor, and we still know the family.
We are not a chain and we are not a franchise. You will see a doctor who knows your pet's history, get a straight answer about what is needed and what it costs, and be able to reach a real person when you call.
What clients say
We have a temperamental cat that is difficult to find a vet to care for. Paws and Claws has been taking care of her for over 6 years now and we've been very happy with the care. The service and prices here are excellent!Jody M.
I've been taking my dog to them for 2 years now. They have always found time to see her when she is sick and helped me understand what was wrong. They follow up and genuinely care about the animal's well-being. The prices are reasonable and the location is extremely convenient.Cristian C.
The team at Paws and Claws is second to none. They have cared for our beloved dogs for 17 years, treating our fur family members like they were their own: our dogs Peanut and Percy, cats we've fostered, and even a rat. Convenient, affordable, professional and compassionate.Heidi B.
