Murrysville Veterinary Associates
Our Story
Our Hospital
Our doctors have 50-plus years of combined experience and have special interests in neurology, internal medicine, end-of-life palliative care, ophthalmology, dermatology, dentistry, and acupuncture. At Murrysville Veterinary Associates, all of our doctors and 70% of the support staff are Fear Free certified and we are all are committed to providing both the pets and their families with the best experience possible with every visit and interaction; you can read more below about the Fear Free initiative.
We are proud to be your trusted partner in the care of your pet throughout its lifetime.
Utilization of Fear Free methods and protocols leads to reduction or removal of anxiety triggers, which creates an experience that is rewarding and safer for all involved including pets, their owners, and veterinary health care teams.
At Murrysville Veterinary Associates, we have created our space and established a culture centered on the animal’s experience with the Fear Free concept at its core. Animal Arts architect Heather Lewis has designed Murrysville Veterinary Associates utilizing fear-free criteria including separate entrances and exam rooms for dogs and cats and a color scheme that is pet friendly.
To become certified, veterinarians and veterinary staff are required to complete a comprehensive, 8-part educational course and exam. They also have to take continuing education to remain certified. The training and certification program helps veterinarians modify their procedures, handling, and facilities to help pets feel safe and comfortable while receiving the medical care they need. We will be the first clinic in the Pittsburgh Area with staff certified in Fear Free handling techniques at their opening date.
