Purpose
Your pet’s wellness goes beyond veterinary care.
We don’t simply build or inhabit veterinary spaces. We create a pet-focused, low-stress journey for pets, their parents, and our veterinary care teams. Thoughtfully designed, digitally enabled and powered by the best and brightest, Heart + Paw serves the whole pet with our whole heart.
At Heart + Paw, pets are family, and the best quality care starts with a trusted collaboration between pet parents and the veterinary team as shared partners in your pet’s health. Our approach to veterinary medicine revolves around preventative care, so our pets can live their longest, happiest lives.

Vision
In 2018, Dr. George Melillo set out to develop a veterinary space that reimagined pet care— a place for people dedicated to the care of animals in a healthy, happy, sustainable and successful way.
Heart + Paw was built as a community of the best professionals in the industry that not only puts animals in the best hands, but also equally values its people.
As a veterinarian, Dr. Melillo understood first-hand the exhausting work schedules and compassion fatigue that can lead to a challenging work environment. Heart + Paw’s empathetic approach gives veterinary care teams the ability to thrive, share, learn, and support each other.
Our veterinary-led operations team, including Dr. Melillo as chief veterinary officer supports our teams of dedicated professionals across more than 28 locations in 10 states... and counting.
At Heart + Paw, you and your pet become part of our family from the moment you walk through our doors.
