Exceptional, Full-Service Veterinary Care - in Dallas, Texas -
Metro Paws Animal Hospital is a collaboration between three veterinary hospitals in the Dallas Metro area. Our locations are full-service, offering many additional services for dogs and cats in addition to wellness care and immunizations, boarding, dermatology, radiology, surgery, dentistry, reproduction, and heartworm treatment.

The Metro Paws Animal Hospital - Skillman location serves Central Dallas, M Streets, Junius Heights, Swiss Avenue, Munger Place, West Lakewood and Vickery Park.
To better serve our clientele, a second location was built in July 2012. Metro Paws Animal Hospital - Oak Cliff serves Kessler Park, Bishop Arts, The Belmont Area, Stevens Park, Oak Cliff, Downtown Dallas, and West Dallas.
Finally, Metro Paws Animal Hospital - White Rock, which opened in January 2017, serves East Dallas, Casa Linda, Forest Hills, Little Forest Hills, Enclave, Gastonwood, Lakewood, and Hollywood Heights.
