Compassionate Veterinary Care in Pataskala, OH
Welcome to Refugee Canyon – Pataskala
We’ve been caring for pets in Central Ohio since 1988, and our Pataskala veterinary clinic continues that tradition of trusted, personalized care for dogs and cats. Our goal is simple: to make every visit stress-free, informative, and supportive — whether you’re here for a routine checkup, a nail trim, or a longer boarding stay.
What makes us different? We take time with every pet, explain our recommendations clearly, and build real relationships with the families we serve. Many of our team members work at both our Pataskala and Hebron clinics, so you’ll always see familiar, trusted faces when you visit.
