Unity Animal Hospital Opens for Business Monday, February 17

Sneak Peeks and Celebrations Sunday, February 16

Unity Animal Hospital offers an exciting new option in comprehensive veterinary care for pet owners and their four-legged family members. Owned and operated by two Delaware County residents, veterinarians Katherine Trow and Abby Schutzman, Unity Animal Hospital uses a non-traditional business model, operating much like a cooperative (such as a food coop). Members pay a modest one-time initiation fee and then a nominal monthly fee, allowing them to spread out the cost of their pet’s routine medical care into small, monthly installments.

The monthly fee will cover all of an animal’s standard preventive medical care, including an annual check-up, core vaccinations, and fecal and heartworm testing. Non-routine care, such as sick visits, surgery, and emergency care, will be offered at a reasonable additional cost. Membership is optional, although members will receive services at lower prices than non-members.

The mission of Unity Animal Hospital is to provide exceptional veterinary care at fair prices in an atmosphere of trust and respect. Drs. Trow and Schutzman are committed to maintaining a transparent, collaborative, and economically sustainable practice. With a focus on veterinarian-client partnership, Unity will offer a cooperative culture of support and respect for clients, patients, employees, the community, and the environment.

All are welcome to join the Unity staff for an open house from 3-6 pm, Sunday, February 16th. The entire Unity team will be available to meet you. Come and ask questions, get to know the staff, tour the hospital, and enjoy delicious locally-made refreshments provided by 320 Markets, a proud sponsor of Unity Animal Hospital. This event is kid-friendly but not for pets.

You and your pets are invited to join the Unity team between 10 am and 1 pm on February 16 to be part of our Paws-N-Tails mosaic. We commissioned prominent Media mosaic artist Claire Brill to create a mural that showcases our community members’ love for their pets. Claire has designed Paws-N-Tails, a 4-foot x 20-foot mural comprised of clay paw prints of the public’s own animals, along with their names, surrounded by mosaic tiles patterned to look like animal tails. Any funds raised for the project in excess of the artist’s fee will be donated to Unity’s Pet Retention and Rescue Funds.

Anyone interested in having a pet’s paw print included in the artwork may bring the animal to the event at Unity Animal Hospital at 1 N. Providence Road, Wallingford, and have the print set in clay for a charge of $100 per animal. For an additional $50, participants will receive a second paw print of their pet to take home at a later date. All dogs attending the event must be leashed, and all cats and other animals must be in secure carriers. This is a terrific way to be memorialized as a part of the Unity community while supporting a great cause.

Starting Monday, February 17, Unity Animal Hospital’s operating hours will be Mondays and Wednesdays 8 am – 8 pm; Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 8 am – 5 pm; and Saturdays 8 am – 12 noon.
