Animal Care Hospital was founded in 1964 by Dr. John Matchette. The original hospital was located on Thomas Road, just a few blocks east of our present facility which was completed in the fall of 1982. Dr.Bishop joined the practice in 1973 and Dr. Halver in 1981. The Doctors and Staff frequently attend continuing education seminars and workshops to maintain the highest level of techniques and treatments in veterinary medicine. All of our doctors are members of the Arizona Academy of Veterinary Practice, which is an organization comprised of veterinarians who are constantly improving their standards and performance in practice.

We are affiliated with the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) whose members must meet stringent standards for comprehensive professional medical and surgical care and are constantly striving for quality, both in service and in the performance of veterinary medicine. We are dedicated professionals who combine compassion and concern with state-of-the-art practice techniques and diagnostics. We chose to be in this profession because we genuinely care for people and their companion animals, and our integrity is known throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area.
