What is an Open Hospital?
Adobe Animal Hospital was founded and built around the concept of wanting owners to be an important part of their pet’s care. As an Open Hospital, Adobe invites you to stay with your pet while most medical treatments are being performed. We are proud of our team and our medicine, and what we do is strengthened by the bond between you and your pet

"The Open Hospital concept was new to me when I started working at Adobe, and I love it! Going to the doctor can be scary for your pet, especially if they are not feeling well. Having the love and support of their owner throughout their visit helps for a less stressful experience. It is also a great opportunity for owners to see firsthand what is involved in their pet’s care, and ask questions. Whether you are visiting us for routine care like an annual exam and vaccine update, or for urgent care services, we want you to be there to help us provide the best care for your pet.
After working at an Open Hospital for over a decade, I can’t imagine working at another type of clinic. I love the transparency of what we do, and the opportunity for clients to be involved. You know your pet best—you should be a part of their care team!"

“An Open Hospital to me means a place where clients can be with their pets during a treatment or procedure. This often helps the pet be less scared and allows the owner to be a part of the process.”

“Cusco got into the trash last month and I had to take him to the local emergency vet here in Pittsburgh. They wouldn’t let me be involved with any treatments and whisked him away for 2 hours to do xrays and emesis. I cried as soon as he left me and I was so nervous. It was the first time in 20 years my pet was taken from me and I imagine how hard it must be for clients especially in critical emergency situations. I am so so proud to be part of an open hospital policy and truly believe it is the best for everyone.”

“I can not imagine working in a non open hospital. That seems very foreign to me. Love this place and all we do for our patients and the clients.”
