Animal Care Hospital, owned and operated by Dr. S.C. Dogra, DVM, is the newest tenant at 1440 East Washington Avenue. Animal Care Hospital is a full service, general practice veterinary clinic with a focus on small animals, particularly cats and dogs.

Dr. Dogra reported that he had previously practiced with veterinary clinics in Milwaukee and Chicago. His most recent veterinary activities before beginning his Tenney-Lapham practice was with a local westside business, Animart, Inc. When asked how he happened to find his way to his present neighborhood location, Dr. Dogra said that it was a logical choice because the facilities were already in place from the previous tenant, City Wide Pet Clinic. Dr. Dogra stated that after experiencing a couple of slow months due to his business lacking a Yellow Pages listing, business has steadily grown and he reports many satisfied clients.

Animal Care Hospital, at 1440 E. Washington Avenue, is open for business 8-6, Monday-Friday, 9-1 Saturday and additional hours by appointment. The phone number is 294-9494. Dr. Dogra said that he "has a very affordable fee structure that should appeal to the neighborhood residents."
