About Atwater Veterinary Center
Atwater Veterinary Center is here to serve Atwater, Merced, Livingston, and beyond as a trusted partner in your pet’s lifelong health. Whether your companion has fur, feathers, scales, or hooves, our experienced team’s mission is to bring them thoughtful, personalized care that always prioritizes your animal’s well-being — and your peace of mind.
Our Story: Local Roots, Lifelong Commitment
Founded with a mission to serve both pets and their people.
Atwater Veterinary Center has grown into one of the region’s most trusted animal care providers. While we’ve expanded our team, services, and expertise over the years, we’ve remained privately owned, allowing us to stay fully focused on what matters most: the individual needs of every animal and family that walks through our doors.
Our center was built on the belief that veterinary care should never feel rushed or impersonal.
Here, every exam room conversation, every treatment plan, and every follow-up is guided by open communication, respect, and compassion. We value the relationships we’ve built with our clients across Atwater and the greater Merced County area, and we’re honored to care for multiple generations of pets and owners.
Our Values:
Exceptional Client Service
Every client deserves clear communication, respectful partnership, and compassionate guidance.
High-Quality Medical Care
Our doctors and staff stay current with advances in veterinary medicine, applying both experience and continuing education to every patient we see.
Preventive Health Focus
We emphasize wellness care, early detection, and client education to help prevent illness before it starts.
Commitment to Our Team
We foster a work environment that enables our staff to grow professionally while building rewarding and meaningful careers.
Our mission at Atwater Veterinary Center is to provide comprehensive, high-quality veterinary care with an emphasis on exceptional client service and patient care, while offering employees a desirable, fulfilling, and rewarding work environment.
This mission guides us daily as we care for pets throughout Atwater, Merced, Livingston, Chowchilla, Mariposa, Catheys Valley, and beyond.
