Veterinary Care
Our veterinary care services encompass routine wellness exams, vaccinations, and preventive medicine to maintain your pet's long-term health. We provide comprehensive physical evaluations, parasite prevention, and tailored healthcare plans for pets at every life stage. Our team emphasizes early disease detection through regular checkups, ensuring optimal health outcomes for cats and dogs in West Chester and surrounding areas.
Dental Services
We offer advanced dental care including professional cleanings, digital radiology, and periodontal treatment to address oral health issues. Our services prevent and treat dental disease, which can lead to systemic health problems if left untreated. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we perform thorough oral examinations and treatments under anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety.
Laser Surgery
Our CO2 laser surgery provides minimally invasive treatment options for soft tissue procedures, reducing pain, bleeding, and recovery times. This technology enables precise incisions for tumor removal, wound management, and dental procedures. Patients experience faster healing and reduced post-operative discomfort compared to traditional surgical methods.
Diagnostic Testing
We utilize in-house diagnostic tools including bloodwork analyzers and digital imaging to quickly assess your pet's health status. These tests help identify internal diseases, infections, and organ function abnormalities. Rapid diagnostic capabilities allow for timely treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes during emergency or routine care visits.
Nutritional Counseling
Our nutritional counseling services address dietary needs and weight management for pets. We develop customized feeding plans considering age, breed, activity level, and medical conditions. This service helps prevent obesity-related health issues and ensures proper nutrition through evidence-based dietary recommendations and product guidance.

I've been taking my dogs to Pocopson Vet Station for well over 30 years. Dr. Wiedwald, then Dr. Kidd have been wonderful with my sweet dogs. Dr. Kidd, Dr. Paul, Dr. Foose, and the very knowledgeable technicians are all so attentive, caring(sitting on the floor to talk with the dog), and well versed in all aspects of a pet's healthcare. The cost of veterinary care is always high but in this case they will work with you, and are worth every penny. I highly recommend these girls.

My Cassie is a reactive dog. Every member of the staff, from reception up to the vet have always been patient and taken the time to get to know her. As a result, over time she has become quiet, relaxed and cooperative. She greets everyone on staff like an old friend.

We were unhappy with another veterinarian's treatment of our dogs and started going to Pocopson Veterinary Station in 2009. In the years since, the doctors and staff have cared for four of our best friends. They have all been great -- very attentive, understanding and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend them.

A+++. We have had many dogs cared for by Dr. Kidd and her staff over the past 15 years or so. Absolutely without doubt the best in the area (after several others failed us in their care for our pets and how they treated us). Dr. Kidd and her staff are definitely the kindest and smartest, and every visit display their caring for both our dogs and us, as their owners. Always provide enough time to discuss all options with their pros/cons and always available for potential emergencies. THANK YOU ALL!
