Are you looking for a Veterinary Clinic in Center City  Philadelphia?  Do you know what types of services are available or even what to do look for?   Choosing a veterinarian is tough and you want to make sure you make the right choice. World of Animals at Rittenhouse offers all the services you’re looking for in a veterinary clinic. Whether you’re searching for a vet because you just moved or need a new one because you’re not satisfied with the level of care at your current vet, World of Animals at Rittenhouse is your answer.


The best way to treat an emergency is to prevent it in the first place. At World of Animals at Rittenhouse, we provide a superior level of preventive care to make sure your pet stays well and avoids any unnecessary medical emergencies. Dogs or cats can become infected with a parasite at any point in their life and at World of Animals at Rittenhouse, we will perform an annual fecal examination as a part of a thorough preventive health program. Routine physical examinations, blood work, dental care, and communication between you and your provider will help to prevent problems before they start and manage any problem we discover.


Pets are excellent at hiding illnesses and while that may be great if they are wild animals, it isn’t so great for domesticated pets. Kidney disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism (dogs) hyperthyroidism (cats) are common diseases in senior pets and many treatments are available if detected early. At World of Animals at Rittenhouse, we conduct blood tests to provide a detailed look at your pet’s health. We’ll check for anemia, infection, diabetes, liver, kidney and thyroid disease. Plus, at our clinic we installed a new state-of-the-art in-clinic laboratory system allows our doctors to get those blood test results the same day.

Any pet can get lost or stray from the home and if your pet doesn’t run across a good Samaritan this could end up being a very traumatic experience for your family—and your pet. A collar with your name on it often isn’t enough. But at World of Animals at Rittenhouse, we can help you avoid this situation by inserting a microchip the size of a small grain of rice into the tissues beneath the skin on the back of the neck between the shoulder blades. Most veterinary hospitals, animal control bureaus, SPCA's and other organizations likely to receive stray animals routinely scan dogs and cats whose owners are unknown. We will even help you register the chip so in the event your pet becomes lost, once your pet is picked up, he or she will be returned to you.

These are just some of the services available at World of Animals at Rittenhouse. Call today to schedule an appointment.
