Treat Your Pets Like the Family Members They Are
At Chandler Small Animal Clinic, we believe that pets are valued family members and should be treated with loving care in every checkup, procedure, and surgery. Since 1975, we have been proudly serving the east valley, and in 1986, Dr. Dwight Benesh took over the practice. Since then, he and his team have been dedicated to providing the quality care your pets need and deserve.
Our Team
Dr. Dwight Benesh, the owner of Chandler Small Animal Clinic, relocated to Chandler, Arizona in 1986 and has since grown the clinic into a full-service animal hospital. Dr. Benesh believes in spoiling his clients and pets with lots of tender loving care, which has resulted in tremendous growth for the clinic.
