About the Practice

Aqua Animal Care Center (AACC) was born out of a vision to provide comprehensive and holistic animal care. Our sister hospital, Companion Animal Wellness Center, lacked the space to offer extensive rehabilitation services. Driven by Dr. Bausone’s dedication to complete animal wellness, AACC was established to fully integrate mind and body (rehab) care alongside our existing services. We strive to offer these expanded services with the same compassion and excellence that our clients have come to expect.

At Aqua Animal Care Center, we believe in a holistic approach to animal care, ensuring that every aspect of your pet’s health and well-being is addressed. Our team is dedicated to providing top-notch veterinary care and rehabilitation in a supportive and nurturing environment.
