Indian Walk Veterinary Center is no ordinary animal care facility.
Look around our web site and find out why.
Since 1990, Indian Walk Veterinary Center has been serving the pets of Bucks County, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. Some of our patients come from as far away as northern New Jersey and Maryland.
We care for a wide array of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes, lizards and other reptiles, rabbits and rodents, birds, sheep, goats and the occasional pig.
We believe that every pet deserves our best efforts. We consider the challenge of treating exotic pets an opportunity to expand our knowledge, to help our patients, and to educate our clients in their care.
To celebrate the delight of the human-animal bond by educating and encouraging people to be considerate caretakers of their animal companions.
To provide a high standard of technical expertise in an atmosphere of thoughtful concern for our patients and their families

1 in 3 pets will become lost during its lifetime.
According to the American Humane association only about 15% of lost dogs and less than 2% of lost cats ever find their way back home.
Over 4 million pets are euthanized every year, including lost pets whose families weren't found in time.
Having your pet microchipped significantly increases your chances of being reunited.
A microchip is a tiny transponder the size of a grain of uncooked rice. It is implanted under the pet's skin using a sterile injector similar to a vaccination. Most pets react very little if at all to the injection. The chip is impossible to remove, so it stays with the pet always, cutting down on the incidence of stolen pets.
The chip is not a locating device. Each transponder stores a unique identification number that can be read through the skin by a scanner emitting low-frequency radio waves. The frequency is picked up by a tiny antenna in the transponder. The number is retrieved, decoded, and displayed in the scanner readout window. Most veterinary hospitals and shelters have a scanning device.
No personal information is stored or displayed on the chip. The identification number is stored on a national database. You have to enroll and give your contact information so your name can be matched with the number scanned on your missing pet.
At Indian Walk Veterinary Center we have safely implanted many hundreds of microchips. We have also had the great pleasure of participating in the safe return of several pets who were identified by scanning. Our staff will be happy to discuss with you the benefits of microchipping ALL of your pets: dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and small mammals.
