The DoveLewis veterinary hospital is doubling its Slabtown footprint as part of an effort to relieve space constraints.
The Northwest Portland animal hospital, which takes emergency walk-ins 24 hours a day, said it plans to construct a new 30,000-square foot building that will add 12 exam rooms, eight emergency treatment rooms and three surgical suites. The hospital said it will expand its specialty departments in the new space, making more room for emergency and critical care services in its existing building.
