The PARC is a full-service emergency and general practice veterinary hospital in Fort Worth, TX, designed to deliver excellent pet care at every stage of life. Our hospital uniquely combines daytime general practice with a 24/7 emergency service, supported by in-house diagnostics, surgery, and critical care — all under one roof.

Because of this model, our GP doctors are able to practice with confidence, knowing that advanced care and overnight monitoring are always available. When your patients require emergency treatment or hospitalization, you have the opportunity to stay as involved as you’d like, working collaboratively with our ER team to ensure seamless care. This creates true continuity — not just for a single visit, but throughout a pet’s lifetime. Many of our patients start in GP, receive ER support when needed, and continue their care with us for years.

Our name reflects who we are and how we practice. The PARC stands for People first. Animals at the heart of everything we do. Revolutionary Care. We believe that when we take exceptional care of pet parents we’re able to deliver truly revolutionary veterinary care. If you value building long-term relationships, communicating with clarity and empathy, and understand that caring for people is essential to caring for animals, you’ll thrive here.

We are consistently named in Fort Worth “Best Of” polls, reflecting the trust our community places in our team. Our hospital is nationally recognized for its design and approach, making The PARC one of the most unique and thoughtfully built animal hospitals in the country — created to reduce stress for both pets and their people.
