We are a locally owned and operated, multi-veterinarian small animal practice, serving and belonging to our community. Veterinary medical care has served our community from this site for over 80 years. We have great pride in our heritage and legacy as well as living in the present and looking to the future of veterinary medicine. We have been AAHA accredited for over 55 years, and we value the standards and level of care this helps us provide.

Our services include wellness care, internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, radiology, laboratory, abdominal and cardiac ultrasound, therapy laser, regenerative medicine, chronic pain management, and potential exotic services. After hour emergencies are referred to our local and regional emergency hospitals. We implement low stress handling for our patients and clients. Our goal is to form trusting relationships with our clients for the life of their pets and work together for the best quality of life possible for each patient. We are also very experienced in the mentorship of new grads.

We operate under the core values of trust, compassion, communication, professionalism, accountability, and commitment to the practice. Our team is our most important resource, and we strive for a friendly, professional atmosphere. We also enjoy activities outside the practice together. We care about our team as people as well as partners in our mission.

We want to be active in our community. We offer student career exploration internships, are involved with local schools, Bark for Life events, and volunteer time for local non-profit organizations. We believe we don’t just work here; we live here!
