Our Veterinary Services for Philadelphia Pets

A wellness visit is more than a quick once-over and some pokes. Instead, it’s the roadmap to your pet’s long, healthy life. We check everything from nose to tail, talk through daily routines, and build a care plan that fits your pet’s lifestyle. Vaccines, parasite protection, nutrition, and early screening all come together to help prevent problems before they start.

Planning a move or an adventure with your pet? We make travel simpler by providing domestic health certificates (except Hawaii). Our team helps navigate the requirements, timelines, and paperwork so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

From routine procedures to complex operations, our surgical suite is designed with safety and precision in mind. Dr. Wallace brings decades of surgical experience to the table, performing everything from orthopedic repairs to soft tissue procedures.

A healthy mouth means a healthier pet. Our dental care includes professional teeth cleanings, digital X-rays, and surgical extractions when needed. By treating dental disease early, we protect your pet from pain and help them stay active, comfortable, and thriving well beyond puppy or kittenhood.

In addition to blood analyzers, digital X-rays, and microscopy, we’re proud to offer diagnostic tests outside the realm of standard general practices. Aided by traveling specialists who come to our animal hospital, we can also conduct in-depth abdominal and cardiac, with expert interpretation on the spot. 

When your pet suddenly isn’t themselves, waiting isn’t an option. We provide same-day urgent care during our regular hours, with on-site lab testing, X-rays, so we can get answers quickly. Whether it’s a minor scare or something more serious, we’ll act fast to ease your mind and help your pet feel better.

Whether you’re traveling or simply want to give your dog a little extra stimulation, our boarding services provide a tidy, comfortable, and fully supervised environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. With thoughtful care and consistent routines, we ensure every visit feels calm, enjoyable, and worry-free.

From One Vision to Generations of Care

Philadelphia Animal Hospital was founded in 1991 when Dr. Lawrence Rebbecchi Jr. set out to create a more thorough, relationship-centered veterinary experience for local families. What began in a modest space grew steadily through referrals and long-term client trust, eventually relocating to better serve the expanding community with improved facilities and advanced diagnostic capabilities.

Today, that same vision continues as a multi-generational practice, with Dr. Rebbecchi working alongside his daughter, Dr. Daria Rebbecchi. Supported by a long-standing team, the animal hospital remains focused on steady growth, clear communication, and building lifelong partnerships with the pets and people of Philadelphia, DelCo, and South Jersey.

What Makes Our Philly Animal Hospital Different

Not all veterinary care feels the same, and the difference starts with the people behind the medicine. Here’s what sets Philadelphia Animal Hospital apart.

A Father-Daughter Veterinary Team

Philadelphia Animal Hospital is guided by a rare multi-generational partnership between Dr. Lawrence Rebbecchi Jr. and Dr. Daria Rebbecchi. Together, they combine decades of hands-on experience with a modern clinical perspective, creating continuity in care that few veterinary hospitals can offer. For families, this means stability, shared philosophy, and veterinarians who are deeply invested in the future of the practice and the community they serve.

Deep Community Connections

For more than 30 years, our animal hospital has built lasting relationships with families, rescue organizations, and community groups throughout Philadelphia, Delaware County, and South Jersey. We proudly support rescue partners through discounted services and work to strengthen the bond between people and their pets both inside and outside our hospital, and many of our clients now trust us with the next generation of their pets.

Urgent Care When Your Pet Needs It

When a pet suddenly becomes ill or injured, waiting isn’t always an option. Philadelphia Animal Hospital provides urgent care during regular business hours, allowing us to evaluate and treat unexpected medical concerns quickly with the support of in-house diagnostics, imaging, and laboratory services so your pet can get answers and care without unnecessary delays.
