About Shea Animal Hospital

Established in 1960, Shea Animal Hospital moved to its current location in 1989 and has operated as a full service clinic ever since. In 1974, Shea Animal Hospital was awarded the distinction of full AAHA accreditation. This is an honor that is still standing today and we work very hard to continue to provide the best available medicine and surgery to our patients.
