Description

Founded in 1975, our clinic's main goal is to provide your pet with the highest quality of health care available. We encourage you to call our office whenever you have questions regarding your pet's health. If your pet is sick we will see him or her the same day you call if it is medically
indicated.

We believe open communication between you and your pet's doctor is the key to positive health care. Our staff is caring and dedicated. Most of us have pets of our own and can understand the concerns of pet owners.

Please browse our site and make sure you check out our web links page for valuable information and a new expanded web site link.

We look forward to serving your pet's needs.
