Message from Pumpkins Owner(Loretta Diferdinando): To Dr. Rowan and Staff from Loretta: I just want to say THANK YOU again for ALLL the professional, loving care you gave Pumpkin (and his brother Sugar) for the past 13 years!! Everyone on the staff has always treated us like family!! Getting a sample of Pumpkin’s fur today was the best medicine I could have received! Whoever came up with that idea is brilliant! look forward to coming in sometime to play with your “house cats!” Wishing you continued success!
“Paoli Vet is great. Winston (my beagle) and I moved to this area last year and I worried about going to a new vet. Winston has a lot of skin and allergy issues and on medications. Our first visit there they put me at ease and treated Winston as if he’s been a patient there for years. Dr. Rowan took his time with Winston since he is very skittish and afraid. He did a thorough exam and explained everything he was doing. Since Winston takes meds I call for refills and they always get that script to me on the same day. I definitely made a great decision choosing Paoli Vet.”

I have had three dogs who’ve lived long, healthy lives over the years and were always treated with such care by Paoli Vet Care. We’ve just adopted a new puppy and we brought him in for his first checkup. I was so happy to see that nothing has changed in the few years since or last little quy crossed the rainbow bridge – same wonderful family atmosphere at Paoli Vet Care! Dr Rowan and Team treat each animal with the love and care they would their own pets, which always brings a sense of comfort for your pet! They even had a sweet little welcome bag for our pup’s first appointment! I cannot recommend Paoli highly enough!!
Paoli Vet Care has been caring for my Benji for close to 9 years now. Dr. Rowen and his staff are the best of the best in my book!! They all care about you and your pet. whenever I have a question or an issue I get a quick response. The ladies at the front desk truly love their job! I wouldn’t trust my Benji to anvone else

I love taking my dog, Rex, here for daycare and boarding! The staff is very kind and is sure to take note of any special requests or needs Rex has when I drop him off. It’s very affordable and my dog seems to love it.
Dr. Santore took excellent care of both of my cats, She took her time to explain their illnesses and how to take care of them,

It speaks volumes that I’ve been bringing my companion animals to Dr. Rowan for almost 30 years. I can’t imagine going to another veterinarian. The staff is thorough, hardworking and compassionate. Dr, Rowan has always been very open and straightforward. I’ve always felt my concerns were heard and remedied with the utmost care and professionalism. Thank you for being a veterinary practice on which I can and will rely.

Have been going to Paoli Vet for about a year now with our 1 year old miniature dachshund.
The staff is always so friendly and you can tell they love animals and care for them deeply. They’re happy to help schedule appointments and answer questions you have. They’ve been very responsive to all forms of communication (email, text, calls) — and call back when they say they’ll call back!
Dr. Rowan performed the spay for our little girl, and he did such a fantastic job. It has been a couple months and she doesn’t even have a scar from the procedure. He answers all questions in an efficient, honest, and clear way.

Paoli Vetcare is one of the most unique veterinarian clinics I’ve ever used. The entire clinic has unique retro interior design, which instantly brings you back to a time when people were more connected without all the modern technologies. I think Paoli Vetcare aims to deliver the same sense of care, trust and understanding that its retro decor conveys. Overall they do a job, and I I think they’ve won the “best neighborhood veterinarian clinic” award at least twice!” — Yelp Review
My dog, Winnie, has a rare heart condition called Tetrology of Fallot. Due to unfortunate circumstances with our previous vet, I went on a search for a new primary vet to provide Winnie’s care in between her visits with the cardiologist. I wanted someone to provide her routine care along with quarterly care required because of her heart condition. From our first appointment with Dr. Rowan, I knew it was going to be an excellent fit. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. His staff is caring & kind. I know Winnie is in good hands at Paoli. If you are looking for a vet in the area, I highly recommend Paoli Vetcare. I cannot say enough good things about our experience.
Paoli Vetcare strives to provide exceptional pet health care and exceptional client service. I don’t think there is a better reviewed animal hospital on the Philadelphia Main Line. They hit it out of the park every day.


“Dr. Rowan is terrific. He works hard to solve our dog’s complex medical problems. He always takes the time to explain the treatment options and shows real concern for our pet. Our dog loves him so it is easy get him in for appointments.” #bestvet
Always have felt that the care at Paoli Vetcare is excellent and the doctors are caring and concerned. Excellent staff!
Since 1997 we have been clients of Dr Rowan and Company. Our first dog was Woodward aka Woody, the largest of the litter a Golden Retriever. Next we downsized and went with a Cairn Terrier and he managed to meet and survive an opossum. Not without a Rabies booster though. Now we are on our 2nd Cairn but this one is a true Terrorist. Kobe is mellowing out now a bit thanks to Prozac and Dr Rowan & Team.
Dr. J Rowan at Paoli Vetcare and his crew treat you like your pet is their pet! I had a problem yesterday and they fit me in – at the end of the day – but they got us in, and figured out the problem!
My puppy and I love Paoli Vet! She wags her tail when she knows she’s going to daycare and plays all day. I love knowing she having fun playing outside with other dogs. Everyone is very friendly and helpful!
I took my dogs to doggy daycare, and they always come back happy! I feel it’s a big advantage to leave my pets at a clean, well maintained place with veterinarians and well trained, qualified kennel and care staff.
We love Paoli Vetcare – even though it is a 45 minute drive, it is definitely worth it!
My pets have been clients for over 20 years and there is no one I trust more. besides the excellent veterinarian care from the doctors, my pets and I have always been given TLC every day. I bring my dog to daycare (she’s a barker) and she loves it – wags her tail every morning on the way. I have referred many people and their pets and have been thanked for such a wonderful referral.
Paoli Vetcare is a very professional clinic whose doctors, technicians, and office workers have a genuine love of animals.
Dr Rowan is the best! My dogs run into see him!
“The best vets we have ever had. Can’t say anymore.” — Google Review
“The staff at Paoli Vetcare were terrific to this novice cat owner. It was my first vet visit with a cat and the staff guided me through the process with ease, explained the “what and why’s” and were accurate on how my cat would feel after her shots. I had been recommended Paoli Vetcare and they met my expectations. So, I recommend them, as well.”
I’ve used Paoli Vet for 30 years with multiple dogs and have been very satisfied with the doctors and staff there. Very attentive, knowledgeable and easy to get assistance – whenever and however needed.
Love Paoli Vetcare. They are very responsive and have taken excellent care of my fur baby.
Paoli Vetcare has the best staff! They really care about your pet and what is best for them. And Dr. Rowan is so hands on it is obvious how much he loves animals.
