In 1984, Dr. Lee Walker and Dr. Erik Tysklind transitioned their house-call veterinary practice into the first Paw Patch Veterinary Hospital at 16th Street and Arlington in Indianapolis, Indiana. Now located at 56th and Lafayette Road, Paw Patch continues to thrive thanks to a deeply rooted customer service philosophy established almost 40 years ago.
Throughout the years, our doctor and staff have remained committed and dedicated to delivering superior, quality veterinary care and first-class customer service to you and your pet.
Community Involvement
As devoted citizens to the greater Indianapolis community, we are proud to actively work with animal rescue groups around the central Indiana area. These organizations find new forever homes for hundreds of dogs and cats each year, and Paw Patch donates over $60,000 a year in time and services to support their work.
