Dedicated To Compassionate Advanced Care

At Highland Park Animal Hospital, we know how important your pets are to you and your family. That is why we provide the highest quality care available for your pet in a compassionate and nurturing environment. Our veterinarians recognize your role and commitment to your pet’s health and strive to create a health regimen designed specifically for you and your pet’s needs.


Our History

Highland Park Animal Hospital was founded by Dr. Alton Hopkins and opened its doors to the public on June 23, 1964 with the goal of becoming and staying an integral part of the Highland Park community by providing outstanding veterinary care, as well as providing support to underserved dogs and cats via our non-profit, the Hard Luck Hound Society. Canine Country Club was created and opened in 2000.

We are a Heritage Veterinary Practice according to The American Veterinary Medical History Society because we have been in continuous operation for over 50 years.
