Independent and vet-owned since 2011

The people you’ll see

A small team on purpose. Your pet sees the same vet each time, and the person on the phone knows their name.

Why a small practice

Dr. Folake Adebayo spent five years at a large hospital chain, seeing a different face behind every pet. She opened Harlow Creek Animal Hospital in 2011 in a converted dental office on 13th Street, with two exam rooms and one technician.

It has four exam rooms now, one of them just for cats, a surgery suite and an in-house lab. We still don’t book more than three patients an hour per vet.

How we work

Gentle handling

Treats, non-slip mats, exams on the floor or on your lap. Anxious pets can get a calming medicine before they come.

Options, not orders

When there’s more than one way to treat something, you hear all of them, with prices, and choose what fits.

Calls back the same day

Lab results, questions after surgery, a refill. A vet or technician calls you back before we close.

What clients tell us

  • Our cat hates the car and hated every vet before this one. They took her straight to the cat room, and Dr. Adebayo did the whole exam on my lap.

    Ruthie H.Hyde Park, client since 2014
  • Dr. Varga called us after Bodie’s surgery, and again the next morning. The bill matched the estimate to the dollar.

    Dawit and Jen T.North End, two Labs
  • Tobias went through Rosie’s dental X-rays with me tooth by tooth. Three extractions, and she was eating breakfast the next day.

    Anneke R.Collister, senior beagle
  • We joined the puppy plan the first week. Every visit is already paid for, so we just show up.
