Dr. Emily Hart and Dr. Daniel Cho met in vet school and opened Maple & Paw in 2012 in a one-room clinic on Division Street. They wanted a vet visit that felt calm — for pets and for people.
Today our eighteen vets, nurses and client-care staff are all fear-free trained. We are still independent, still on Division, and still remember every pet’s favorite treat.
