In May 2005, the staff of Avery Road Animal Hospital gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony and the project began. After many long months of waiting, December 2005 marked the opening of the new Avery Road Animal Hospital. Once established at the new location, it was decided that the name "Avery Road Animal Hospital" would be changed to "Avery Animal Hospital." The new name would not confuse the location of the business, but it would also hold the tradition of the original business. During 2006, the business name will gradually be changed.
