A Vet near Fairborn That Takes Time with Your Pet
Happy Paws & Claws Veterinary Clinic is in Englewood, west of Fairborn along I-70. Families from Fairborn, Beavercreek and the Wright-Patterson area bring their dogs, cats, reptiles and small pets to us for one main reason: we take our time.
We are an independent, locally owned veterinary clinic led by Dr. Angela Melton and Dr. Caity Walsh. Our longer appointments and calm, concierge-style visits are a different experience from a quick in-and-out visit.

What Fairborn Families Can Expect
- Unhurried appointments. Time for a full exam and for every question, not a race to the next patient.
- Clear prices. Our exam, vaccine, surgery and dental prices are published, so there are no surprises.
- Fast answers. In-house lab testing and digital X-ray and ultrasound mean many results are ready during your visit.
- Safe surgery. Every spay and neuter includes monitoring by a licensed nurse throughout the procedure.
- Exotic pets welcome. Reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and other small pets are part of our everyday care.
