Happy 2026! Friendly reminder we are closed today and will reopen with regular business hours, and ready to hit the ground running, Friday!
If you're new here-
🙌🏻 We are a proud locally owned, private, independent, practice. Our motto is "Big City Medicine, Small Town Service." Welcome! We are 1 of 3 area clinics who are members of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association. More info on why this matters:

If you've been with us awhile:
⚕️We are transitioning to Simparica Trio for our all-in-one heartworm+flea+tick monthly preventative. We still have some stock of Nexgard Plus, and when it goes away, you still have the option of ordering for home delivery through our online pharmacy.
💰The veterinary industry is continually raising prices. There is nothing we can do about it other than raise ours. If you notice any price changes (you may not), know that its due to an increase on our end and if we didn't pass that along, we wouldn't be able to pay our staff or keep the doors open. For instance, the "normal" yearly price increases from drug companies, laboratories, etc is 3-5%, but recently some are even getting up to 10%. 😬
🤞We promise to always try and remain reasonable, but also stay afloat! At the end of the day we are a locally owned small business. We don't answer ro a corporate office in another state. Our employees are like family. We are not required, encouraged, mandated, or expected to announce price changes, but do so for full transparency.
🐕 We haven't raised boarding prices since we opened in 2021, so those will be going up slightly. This covers your pet's stay, cleaning (we don't charge extra cleaning fees even for the very messy pets), laundry, food (ours), belly rubs, etc.
