About Aqueduct Animal Hospital
Since its founding in 1957, Aqueduct Animal Hospital has proudly served the pets and families of the Rexford community as an independently owned veterinary practice. While much has changed over the decades, one question continues to move us forward:
How can we improve the relationship between pets and their owners?
Every answer has given us an opportunity to learn. To do better. To create a safer, calmer, more connected experience for pets and their people.
Those lessons have shaped the practice you see today.
When we relocated in 2021, we didn't just expand our facility. We created a place where every aspect of your pet's care, from preventive medicine and advanced treatments to grooming, boarding, and daycare, could work together.
A place that upholds not only the highest standards of veterinary care, but the bond between pets and the people who love them.

It means treating every person and pet with kindness, respect, and compassion in every circumstance.

Meet the team
We could tell you that ours is a story of veterinary medicine. It isn't.
It's a story of helping people and pets enjoy more of life together. Because pet health is never just one thing.
It's everything working together. And it's why we think differently about veterinary care.
