We live at a time where pets have become true members of the family, while veterinary medicine has felt less and less personal. We are changing that.

Dr. Nayara Pataro and Dr. Sam Amirshahi founded Bliss Animal Hospital because they passionately believe that veterinary medicine works best when we focus on relationships—taking the time to understand you and your pet as individuals. We listen to your unique questions, concerns, needs, and beliefs. By getting to know your pet’s health and behavioral baseline, we can quickly recognize when something is amiss. This approach leads to better medicine, happier people, and healthier pets.
It starts with relationships

Three veterinary professionals in scrubs and lab coats examine a cat lying on its back on a padded blue table. One vet holds the cat's paws, another uses an instrument on its abdomen, and the third is focused on the cat's head. Blue cabinets are in the background.
