Inside the hospital.
Ordinary days at 390 Route 518 — appointments, procedures, and the patients who put up with us.
Progressive Veterinary Care is an independently owned, AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital serving Skillman, Princeton and the surrounding Central New Jersey communities.
We believe veterinary medicine works best when we truly know our patients - and the people who walk through the door with them.
You are not an appointment number here. We take time to listen, understand what has changed and develop a relationship with your family throughout your pet's life. That familiarity helps us recognize subtle differences, communicate more openly and create care that fits the individual pet and family.
Our hospital combines that personal approach with advanced diagnostics, laparoscopic surgery and close relationships with board-certified veterinary specialists. It is the warmth and familiarity of a neighborhood practice, supported by the medical capabilities of a much larger hospital.
Everything your pet needs, in one building.

Pet Insurance
Unexpected illness or injury can create difficult financial decisions. Pet insurance helps preserve choices — so decisions can be based on what your pet needs.
Care Should Feel Personal—Because It Is.
Progressive Veterinary Care is proud to be an independently owned, AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital.
Our team believes excellent veterinary medicine begins with listening. We make time to understand what has changed, explain what we know and make the next step clear.
We pride ourselves on recognizing the people who walk through our door—not only their four-legged family members. Those relationships allow us to care for pets with greater context, familiarity and understanding.
You deserve a veterinary team that knows your pet's medical history, understands your concerns and remains beside you when decisions become difficult.
