Vet care for Hancock Park families and their pets
Just a short drive from Larchmont Village and the Wilton triangle, Paw Priority offers general practice, urgent care, and house calls to Hancock Park.
A doctor-owned vet a few minutes from Hancock Park
Hancock Park has a specific vet-shopping profile: multi-generation families, mid-to-large breeds, dogs that grew up with the house. What people here want is a doctor who knows the pet across their whole life, not a stranger every year.
Paw Priority is doctor-owned by Dr. Ezra Ameis. You see him every visit. If your dog has been with us for three years, he remembers your dog. That is the model.

What Hancock Park pets tend to need
Hancock Park pets tend to skew a specific way.
- Larger breeds, joint disease. Retrievers, Bernedoodles, big mixes. We see a lot of orthopedic conversations. Our acupuncture program pairs well with joint supplements and NSAIDs.
- Established dogs, senior years. Many families have had the same dog for 8 to 12 years. Our senior pet care program is the busiest referral we get from Hancock Park.
- Dog park families. Roxbury, Pan Pacific, and Griffith are regular stops. Kennel cough (Bordetella) and giardia both circulate. Vaccine planning matters.
- Larchmont walkers. Weekend Larchmont Blvd traffic means loose dog interactions, small injuries, and the occasional dog-on-dog. If it happens, come in.
Why Hancock Park neighbors choose Paw Priority
Hancock Park has plenty of vet options within a ten-minute radius. Here is where we sit differently.
House calls in the neighborhood. If you have a senior dog who is done with car rides, or a house full of kids and the logistics do not work, we come to you.
Membership option. Our VIPP membership makes routine care predictable for multi-pet households. See membership.
Direct access to the doctor. Text, call, email. Dr. Ameis reads it, not a call center.
