Patterson Dog and Cat Hospital

Patterson Dog and Cat Hospital As Michigan and America’s oldest animal hospital, we have an incredible history of nurturing the bond between people and their pets.

As Michigan’s oldest privately operated veterinary hospital, the staff at Patterson Dog & Cat Hospital takes an extraordinary amount of pride in offering more than 175 years’ worth of the highest quality, compassion-driven veterinary care for your dog or cat. Our goal is to provide a place where Detroit pet owners can feel confident that we have their pets’ best interests at heart. We have a long

tradition of caring for pets from puppy- or kittenhood through the senior years, and it has earned us the trust of countless families and their animals. But it’s not just our history that sets us apart. Our downtown Detroit location and the longevity of our staff also make a difference to our clients. We are committed to the people and pets in our area. Many of our veterinary staff members have been with the hospital for more than a decade, and we’ve developed long-term, caring relationships with our clients—of the canine, feline, and human varieties. We appreciate your interest in Patterson Dog & Cat Hospital. We invite you to learn more about our history, our doctors, the quality services we provide, and how you can become a new client. We look forward to building a relationship with you and your pet, and to providing a lifetime of quality care for your animal.

Wondering what to do with your pet's unused or expired medicine, or your own? We get asked this question a lot. We actually do not take medications for disposal or donation purposes. Most pharmacies will dispose of your meds, as well as the Henry Ford Hospital pharmacy and the John Dingell VA Med Center. Some animal rescue organizations will take medications as donations, but only if they have a veterinarian on staff, so check with each organization. Check out this video for more info!
