At most hospitals, the ambiance revolves around harsh lighting and a lingering scent of cleaning products.  This is not the case at the new Jet City Animal Clinic, a new full-service veterinary hospital on 12th Ave. The refined décor and flattering color scheme will make you feel more like you’re in a Pottery Barn showroom than a kitty clinic.

Not to say that Jet City lacks the features of a medical facility — with surgical and dentistry suites, digital diagnostic imaging, a laboratory, and a pharmacy, Jet City Animal Clinic boasts a complete and state-of-the-art facility.

“We wanted to do something different,” Dr. Erica Anderson said. “We wanted to create an environment that is warm and inviting.”

Jet City has been open since January but is celebrating a grand opening Saturday April 27th.

From 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturday, you and your furry companions can come to celebrate and get a sense of what the clinic is all about. There will be tours of the hospital, demonstrations, and a raffle to celebrate the day.

Anderson said the clinic is heavily involved in the community and partners with local pet-focused businesses. In addition, the clinic has taken on a role at two area dog parks: I-5 Colonnade and in the Regrade.

“As part of a pet family myself, and local resident, I wanted to provide the Capitol Hill community and surrounding neighborhoods with an exceptional veterinary experience,” said Dr. Anderson.
