Welcome to Airport Animal Hospital

Dr. Stephen G. Lewis, Dr. William B. Wallace and our team are committed to bringing you and your pets better health by practicing the science of Veterinary Medicine. Airport Animal Hospital was founded in 1968. Since then our staff has been performing veterinarian medicine and compassionate animal care in the Goleta area. Airport Animal Hospital is a full-service Animal Hospital whose mission is to provide the highest standard of quality and compassion in veterinary care for our patients and welcoming, informative, and supportive service for our clients, while maintaining a superior working environment for our employees. Airport Animal Hospital offers the Goleta animal community emergency veterinary services in addition to standard medical, surgical, and dental veterinary care. Because we have an in-house pharmacy, lab, radiology facilities, and Intensive Care Unit, our facility enables us to address your pet's medical care. We are open for appointments during normal business hours.
