about our veterinary practice Albuquerque, NM

Petroglyph Animal Hospital began as a three-doctor practice over 25 years ago, and has thrived under the same ownership ever since. We are a valued part of the Albuquerque community, offering emergency and wellness care seven days a week, 364 days a year. We are equipped with a full surgery suite, in-house radiography and laboratory, and full complement of dentistry tools and digital radiography. In 2019, we added a High-Definition CT Scanner to our hospital, allowing us to perform advanced imaging diagnostics.

Our highly-trained staff is on the premises 24 hours a day. Our culture emphasizes teamwork, mentorship, and respect for each other, our clients, and our patients. The entire Petroglyph team is dedicated to providing the highest level of care to our patients. To that end, we have been a proud AAHA-accredited hospital since 2013.
