Pasadena Pets Veterinary Hospital

What Pasadena Pets Veterinary Hospital does

Pasadena Pets Veterinary Hospital is a full-service small-animal hospital located at 2850 E Foothill Blvd in Pasadena, California, serving pet owners across the San Gabriel Valley (including Altadena, South Pasadena, Monrovia, Duarte, San Gabriel, Temple City, and San Marino). Founded in 2002 and operating with 11–50 employees, the hospital is owned by VetCor, a veterinary practice management company headquartered in Norwell, Massachusetts. The practice delivers comprehensive veterinary care for dogs and cats, spanning routine wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, microchipping, spay/neuter, prophylactic and surgical dental care, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, laser surgery, cryosurgery, cold laser therapy, and stem cell therapy, plus limited oncology including the ONCEPT Canine Melanoma DNA-based vaccine. The clinical facility houses an on-site laboratory, digital radiology, ultrasound, CT imaging, cryosurgery, and cold laser therapy equipment, supported by daily courier access to a specialty reference lab.

The business operates on multiple revenue streams: per-visit professional services, an in-house and online pharmacy (ourvet.com) for prescription medications and prescription diets, bundled Wellness Plans (Puppy, Kitten, Adult Canine/Feline, Senior) that package preventive care at fixed prices, and supplementary services such as behavior counseling, dermatology, ophthalmology, dog genetic testing, USDA-certified pet travel health certificates, and end-of-life care. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; client financing is offered through CareCredit. Distribution is anchored in a single physical hospital, with digital client-experience layers added through the PetDesk mobile app (iOS and Android) and 24/7 online appointment booking. The practice is a member of standard professional reference networks (AAHA, AVMA) and partners with emergency referral hospitals (ACCESS Pasadena, LAASER, ER Pet Hospital of Glendora) for after-hours and specialty cases.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• VCA Animal Hospitals: National network of full-service companion animal hospitals with multiple locations in the greater Pasadena area. Directly comparable offering: wellness, surgery, dental, diagnostics; differs in being a broad multi-state chain rather than a single independent site.
• Banfield Pet Hospital: National general practice veterinary chain (often co-located with PetSmart) offering wellness plans, exams, vaccinations, dental, and surgery. Highly comparable to Pasadena Pets' GP service model, but operates at vastly greater scale and through a retail-hosted footprint.
• BluePearl Pet Hospital: National specialty and emergency veterinary hospital operator with locations across Southern California. Comparable to Pasadena Pets' advanced-services stack (CT, surgery, oncology), but differentiated by its full-time specialty/emergency operating model versus a GP-plus-selective-specialty mix.

Direct peers

• ACCESS Pasadena (Animal Critical Care and Emergency Services): Pasadena-based specialty and emergency referral hospital that already accepts referrals from Pasadena Pets. Operates in the same service area with overlapping specialty and emergency capabilities, making it both a referral partner and a competitive overlap.
• Adobe Animal Hospital: Long-established full-service companion animal hospital serving the South Pasadena/Los Angeles area. Closely comparable service mix (wellness, surgery, dental, diagnostics, laser) in an immediately adjacent geography.
• Animal Hospital of South Pasadena: Independent full-service companion animal hospital located in South Pasadena. Direct competitive overlap: general practice, surgery, dental, diagnostics for dogs and cats in the same San Gabriel Valley trade area.
• Monrovia Animal Medical Center: Full-service companion animal hospital serving Monrovia and adjacent San Gabriel Valley communities. Directly comparable single-site GP and surgical practice competing for the same regional client base.
• Foothill Animal Hospital (Pasadena): Companion animal hospital on the same E Foothill Blvd corridor as Pasadena Pets Veterinary Hospital. Directly comparable full-service GP within walking distance — clearly competing for the same Pasadena pet-owner catchment.

Regional players

• LAASER (Los Angeles Animal Specialty, Emergency & Rehabilitation): Greater Los Angeles specialty/emergency/rehabilitation veterinary hospital. Comparable advanced-services competitor to Pasadena Pets' specialty offerings; differs by being a dedicated specialty/ER facility rather than a general practice.

Others

• VetCor: Parent veterinary practice management company (Norwell, MA) that owns Pasadena Pets and 700+ other community veterinary hospitals. Strategic peer as the operating platform whose playbook, procurement, and capital allocation determine Pasadena Pets' growth trajectory.
