A.P.A.W. Veterinary Hospital & Wellness Center is a full-service, privately owned veterinary hospital specializing in the care of dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and pocket pets. Established over thirty-five years ago in Lanham, Maryland, we have served Prince Georges County and the surrounding metro area as a trusted provider of comprehensive veterinary care. Formerly known as New Carrollton Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to be a woman-owned practice led by Dr. Patricia Peynado-Boyce, offering personalized attention and a warm, caring environment for pets and their owners. Our team of experienced veterinarians and staff are committed to delivering high-quality medical, surgical, and dental services, emphasizing preventative care and wellness programs tailored to each pet's life stage. As a progressive veterinary center, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including in-house laboratory services, radiology, and dental radiology, to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.

Our dedication to the community extends beyond clinical care, providing educational resources and fostering a supportive atmosphere for pet owners. With over two decades of experience treating serious conditions and offering routine wellness care, we approach every patient with compassion, expertise, and a commitment to maintaining the human-animal bond. Our facility is equipped to handle emergencies six days a week, and we offer overnight hospitalization for critical cases. Recognized as a Cat Friendly practice by the American Association of Feline Practitioners, we strive to make every visit stress-free for feline patients. Through our AAHA accreditation, we uphold the highest standards of veterinary excellence, ensuring our clients and their pets receive the most reliable and up-to-date care available.
