Animal Diagnostic Clinic in Dallas, Texas, is moving to a new location under the new name VCA Dallas Animal Specialty Hospital across the street from its previous location. The new facility is 23,000 sq ft and is the first Mars Veterinary hospital in the US to be LEED Gold-certified.

The center will offer various services, including internal medicine, cardiology, medical and radiation oncology, emergency and critical care, surgery, and neurology. VCA Animal Hospitals says the center plans to offer oncology radiology treatment beginning on September 29, and has plans to provide 24-hour emergency care in 2026. Features of the new location include ventilation support, 24-hour hemoperfusion for acute toxicities, emergency surgeries, minimally invasive surgeries and procedures, cancer treatment using blood apheresis, an in-house blood banking program, a clinical trial program, and a Varian Edge radiation machine.

"These additions not only elevate our level of care—they expand what's possible for pets in critical need," Matthew Dann, hospital administrator at VCA Dallas Animal Specialty Hospital, said in a news release.¹
