1st Pet Veterinary Centers - Chandler
About us
1stPet Veterinary Centers began small, as so many great things do, when Dr. Randy Spencer purchased American Pet Center in August 1989. After changing the name to Companion Care Animal Hospital in 1990, and eliminating the pet store that had been part of the original business, the veterinary business began to take off.
In the mid-1990s, Dr. Spencer began to explore expanding into emergency and specialty practice, by hiring an emergency director, three emergency veterinarians, and experienced emergency staff. Dr. Spencer increased his leased space to 5,000 square feet, and in 1997 changed the hospital name to FIRST Regional Animal Hospital.
In 2000, he expanded again into a new 7,588 square foot freestanding building in Chandler, Arizona. The new facility experienced rapid growth and by August of 2002, Dr. Spencer had hired their first full-time, board-certified Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Shery Babyak, who is still with 1stPet Veterinary Centers today.
As the specialty and emergency centers continued to grow, Dr. Spencer began to develop his vision of 24-hour veterinary care utilizing emergency, specialty, and primary care – all working together for the benefit of pets, clients, and referring veterinarians. His goal was to develop 24-hour hospitals that offered progressive veterinary medicine with an approachable, friendly, and warm family atmosphere. With that in mind, Dr. Spencer and several interested staff members developed 1st Emergency Pet Care in Mesa, opening their doors in January 2003.
Within six months, 1st Emergency moved from weekend and overnight care to full 24-hour emergency care. Over the next few years, several new specialists joined the FIRST Regional Animal Hospital team, and in October 2006, FIRST Regional Animal Hospital expanded again with the purchase of North Valley Animal Emergency Clinic in Carefree. The name was changed to North Valley Regional Animal Hospital and quickly became a very busy general practice and 24-hour emergency care... show more center.
In 2013, Dr. Spencer decided to combine the three hospitals into one brand – one name, all offering the same quality care and compassion, in the emergency, specialty, and primary care services that pet owners had come to appreciate. 1stPet Veterinary Centers was born. Today, Dr. Spencer and the dedicated team that makes up 1stPet Veterinary Centers continues to offer sophisticated and compassionate veterinary care to pets and their families in the metro North Valley area, as well as specialty referral services to primary care veterinarians. show more

Stacey H. asked:ISO a recommendation for a Vet open Sundays. Our pup has stopped eatingBarby B. replied:First Regional Animal Hospital "1 st Pet", 24-hr Pet Care. 480-732-0018. In Chandler, 1233 W. Warner Rd, cross street are Alma School Rd. and Warner. They are EXCELLENT! Have been going there for several years for regular care and emergencies. They literally saved the life of one of my pets who had a urinary blockage. They're all very caring and compassionate: receptionists, vet techs and vets. You're smart to get your pup checked ASAP. Good luck to you and your pup!

Linda H. asked:i need to know this after hrs where is there a 24 hr pet hospital??? closest. thanks u never know with these toads we seem to have.Angela V. replied:First Pet is closest (formerly First Regional) 480 732 0018 s side of Warner just W of Alma School. EAC in Gilbert is great too. In toad cases, go with closer as it is considered an emergency cause those suckers are highly toxic. You have to watch out for the Bufo family of toads AKA Colorado river toad/ Sonoran desert toad. They're large >6", greenish to grey with a white underbelly, large whitish warts near their jaw, and pretty smooth skin for what you would consider on a toad. If your pet has a run in with one, irrigate their mouth with a lot of water before heading in to help rinse some of the toxins away. Symptoms are almost instantaneous and start with foaming, drooling, etc., and will progress to neurological signs. Not something to mess with.

Julia H. asked:looking for recommendation for a vet I'm pretty sure our puppy has valley fever I posted earlier regarding this and I have tried contacting some of the agencies people recommended but I really think I need to do something soon and no one is getting back to me yet. He is lame on 2 legs now so I'm just going to have to find a way to pay for the blood work. Hopefully the treatment is not super expensive. I was bringing him to St.Marks in CG but I was wondering what the vets in Maricopa are like?Michelle L. replied:Maricopa Wells during normal business hours IF you can get in. For emergencies after hours First Pet Animal Hospital 480.732.0018 1233 W Warner Rd Chandler, AZ 85224 Good luck. I sure hope your baby is OK.
