We actually adopted two kittens - a brother and sister - that had been rescued by Pocopson Vet Clinic so we've been taking them there ever since. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a pet. Everyone there is super friendly, and the staff is very patient with any questions we have. Dr. Kidd is very compassionate and clearly loves what she does!

A+++. We have had many dogs cared for by Dr. Kidd and her staff over the past 15 years or so. Absolutely without doubt the best in the area (after several others failed us in their care for our pets and how they treated us). Dr. Kidd and her staff are definitely the kindest and smartest, and every visit display their caring for both our dogs and us, as their owners. Always provide enough time to discuss all options with their pros/cons and always available for potential emergencies. THANK YOU ALL!!

First time visit with one of my cats was very pleasant. Our vet had retired and we had heard good things about Pocopson Veterinary Station. It’s in a good location and the staff is very friendly. My cat had a thorough exam. I would definitely recommend this practice.

Would not even consider trusting Luna with any other vet practice. The staff and techs and Dr's have been informative, loving, and clear in their plan for the care of my most important being in my world.

They are very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals that visit. They share what they know to help pet parents know how to care and train their furbabies. I'd highly recommend them. Its easy to make an appointment and they have flexible hours too.

I was so happy when I found Pocopson Veterinary. They were respectful of my alternative medicine views and my desire to meld traditional with alternative. The vets are knowledgeable, great with my dogs and their caring for animals was obvious. The staff is very welcoming and the building itself is a treasure

Dr Kidd is doing what she was born to do. She is compassionate, patient, and all-around wonderful. She has been amazing with our dogs and we are so very grateful for her 💛 and the Pocopson Vet team.

I love Pocopson Vet Station, I am excited to now use them as my regular vet. We originally went here to get surgery for my cat I have a very busy inflexible schedule because of school but at Pocopson they were willing to work with me to make it work with my schedule. I knew when I walked through the doors my cat was in the best care from how kind the front desk woman was to the vets. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my cat!

I had to take my Great Dane in as a new client yesterday. I was so nervous about waiting in the car considering COVID procedures. Dr. Kidd and Tech Mark were amazing. Our Gunner was happy as a clam and I was extremely pleased with the service. Highly recommended!! Thank you so much to everyone at Pocopson Veterinary Clinic. We will see you again for sure!!

Leia Paul, DVM
Dr. Leia Paul has been in small animal practice since her graduation from Purdue School of Veterinary Medicine in 1999. Her husband’s career path has taken her to many places—from Atlanta to Wisconsin to Maryland and finally to North Wilmington, where she has been in practice for 8 years. She is very excited to join the PVS team! Dr Paul grew up in southern Indiana and did her undergraduate studies at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta. She always knew she wanted to be a vet and enjoys the challenges and diversity that the profession offers. She loves the detective work of difficult medical cases, the artistic aspects of soft tissue surgery, and the relationships she forms with her clients and their furry children. The Paul family lives in North Wilmington and includes Dr. Paul’s husband, Brian, their two children Ella and Nate, their two poodles Lulu and Emmi, and their cats Gracie and Ollie. Top hobby for Dr.Paul is growing orchids and trying to get them to re-bloom.
History of our Building
We are privileged to work in a very unique and historical setting. Our building was built in 1893 as a passenger station for the Wilmington and Northern Railroad, then following some conversion work it became the Pocopson Post Office in 1947. The facility was subsequently sold at auction during the 1970’s, then refurbished as a veterinary practice in 1991. Many original fixtures and features have been preserved, and today the property is listed in the Chester County Register of Historic Places. The train still visits us a few times each day.
