Meet Mercer Street Veterinary Hospital

To us, veterinary medicine is not just a profession. It is our calling in life. Animal health is our passion. There is magic in medicine. In the ability to change so many lives on a daily basis. In always putting your pet first, and helping them live the longest, happiest life possible. Because we understand that, to you, they aren’t “just a pet”. They are family. And protecting the love you share is the reason we get out of bed in the morning. Our Passion Green heart-shaped clouds of varying sizes float against a black background, creating a whimsical and abstract pattern reminiscent of the comforting aura one might feel in the presence of a caring veterinarian. A small kitten with a gray and orange coat peeks out from a person's pocket. Its ears are perked up, and it gazes curiously at the camera, as if ready for its first vet visit. A red fire extinguisher sign is visible in the background, adding a splash of color to the scene. A woman with long, wavy hair and a brown fuzzy coat smiles while sitting outdoors, petting a white dog that's affectionately licking her face. As a vet, she cherishes these joyful moments. Trees and greenery are softly blurred in the background. A group of 15 people, wearing various uniforms and casual clothing, stands smiling in front of Mercer Street Veterinary Hospital. The dedicated veterinarians have set up two black tents and a table outside the building.

Recently checked by the vet, it looks especially relaxed and content against the softly blurred background. A fluffy Shih Tzu with brown and white fur looks up with big, sparkling eyes at the vet. Its mouth is slightly open, revealing a playful expression against the warm-toned tile floor, as if anticipating a treat from its favorite veterinarian.

Its ears are perked up and its tongue is out, conveying a relaxed and happy demeanor. The background is softly blurred.

A Cara Family Neighborhood Vet

Wow! What a pleasant surprise and breath of positivity! I have 2 rescue hound dogs – a sweet sweet senior and an anxious young buddy. The entire team treated us with kindness from the moment we walked into the door. They were gentle, caring, and thorough. Dr. Love spent a lot of time with us, making sure all our needs were met. Her assistants were present and upbeat. They worked so well together! In the past, we have dreaded trips to the vet. However, this experience has completely changed how I feel. Thank you Mercer Street – I am feeling grateful.

Miss S

Mercer Street has been nothing short of fabulous for my little Wilson. Every single person I’ve interacted with on staff has been so gracious and kind. They were able to squeeze Wilson in when he got sick twice and always provide me with the most thoughtful, thorough information. They’re always looking out for the best interest of Willie and myself. They also follow up to check up on him the day or days after is visit. 11/10 would recommend!

Stephanie

So so grateful for the staff here! They really take their time to make the animals and humans alike comfortable and their passion really shows. Our favorite vet tech, makes our pups feel at home and excited from the minute they walk in.
