Our Story
Where Quality Medicine Meets Compassion
Since opening our doors in 1988, Refugee Canyon Veterinary Services has been dedicated to providing trusted veterinary care to pets in Central Ohio. Our Pataskala clinic focuses on companion animal medicine, including wellness and preventative care, sick pet exams, diagnostics, grooming, and boarding — all in a welcoming, stress-reducing environment. With trusted veterinarians in Pataskala and a close-knit support team, we offer personalized attention for every pet that walks through our doors.
We believe that veterinary care should be accessible, compassionate, and tailored to your pet’s individual needs. From your puppy’s first exam to your senior cat’s golden years, we’re here to provide reliable dog and cat care at every life stage.
More Than a Clinic
Our Philosophy of Care
At Refugee Canyon, our approach to veterinary medicine centers around kindness, trust, and a deep respect for the human-animal bond. Our team is known for taking time with every patient — we don’t rush exams or push unnecessary treatments. Instead, we involve pet parents in the decision-making process and treat every animal as if they were our own.
As a full-service vet clinic, we combine medical expertise with modern tools, compassionate handling, and a bright, friendly environment where pets (and their people) feel safe and supported.
