Services
Hydrotherapy
Our underwater treadmill provides low-impact exercise for pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions. The warm water supports joints while building muscle strength and improving mobility. This therapy benefits pets with orthopedic issues, neurological conditions, or weight management needs through controlled aquatic exercise.
Acupuncture
Veterinary acupuncture uses targeted needle placement to relieve chronic pain and treat medical conditions. This integrative approach stimulates circulation and nerve function while reducing inflammation. Our certified practitioners apply traditional Chinese medicine techniques alongside Western treatments for comprehensive pain management in pets.
Digital Radiography
Advanced digital imaging provides immediate diagnostic results with reduced radiation exposure. Our system captures detailed images of skeletal structures and internal organs for accurate diagnosis. This technology enables faster treatment decisions and clearer visualization of complex medical conditions compared to traditional film radiography.
Cold Laser Therapy
Therapeutic laser applications reduce inflammation and accelerate healing through targeted light energy. This non-invasive treatment improves circulation and alleviates pain in pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions. The focused wavelength promotes cellular regeneration while minimizing discomfort during recovery.
Integrative Medicine
Combining conventional veterinary practices with alternative therapies creates comprehensive treatment plans for pets. Our approach incorporates rehabilitation exercises, acupuncture, and nutritional counseling to address both immediate medical needs and long-term wellness. This customized care model optimizes outcomes for patients with chronic conditions or post-surgical recovery requirements.

Amber Walker killed my cat! I want to warn anyone that loves their animal to go somewhere else ! I took my healthy 6 year old cat to Doylestown Animal Medical Clinic to have a routine teeth cleaning and Amber Walker killed her. They let her sit in a cage for 9 hours then tried to rush her thru ($1200.00 for a cleaning) scaring her terribly and over dosing her with 2 doses of anesthesia drugs and killed her!
Our family is effected with the loss of our loved one forever. Never even got a phone call from the owners, nothing. The "vet" Amber Walker should have her license removed and never work on someone's loved one again (we are pursuing this !!), her apathy was absolutely disgusting ! This place is a nightmare , negligent and now our loved one is gone forever.

We called our regular vet in NJ and asked to come in for our 17 year old cat Henry to likely be euthanized following a stroke and a fall down the stairs. After being told by our vet that "he'll have to think about it, we haven't seen Henry in a few years, and they were very busy" we called DAMC. They fit us in within the hour and provided exceptional service. They informed us every step of the way of what the plan was and the costs involved.
They could easily have played on our emotions and raked us over the coals financially, but they did not ... Everything they did was with compassion and professionalism. They then provided us with a plaster casting of Henry's pawprints and a snip of his hair. We will definitely be switching to this vet service for our other cat and future animals. THANK YOU

It's easy, the answer is one word - AWESOME. Everyone is incredibly nice to talk to and discuss things with, especially when it comes to my fur baby. You are all amazing, providing calming words when it's time to say goodbye to my fur baby and helping me welcome a new one. Thank you for everything you do.

Very happy with our services. We have taken our dog and cats for almost three years now. Our dog has been having allergy issues lately and they have been very helpful and explain everything.
