About Our Animal Hospital in Kennesaw

Welcome to Kennesaw Pet Center, your local animal hospital, boarding facility, doggie daycare, and grooming salon in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Kennesaw Pet Center is a family-owned and operated business. KPC has been in business in its current form for over 25 years. It has transitioned from a pet store in the 70s or 80s to a boarding facility to a full service one-stop shop for our clients, providing high-quality medicine, surgical care, grooming, boarding, and daycare.

We are recently under new ownership. Our vision is to provide a place your pets love coming to to get the care they need. We specialize in low stress handling for dogs and cats. Check out our exam room videos to see some of the modifications we have made to achieve this goal.

We strive to provide our patients and clients with exceptional, down-to-earth service. We value the trust of our clients and appreciate the opportunity to care for their dogs and cats.

***Please pardon our mess. We are renovating to achieve our vision of creating a more comfortable space for you and your pets.

Additionally, we are always looking to add to our knowledge of the history of Kennesaw Pet Center. We would love to hear your stories or see your pictures from before 2006!
