We require current vaccination records and offer special diet accommodations. Our staff provides regular updates to owners during extended stays.

We perform soft tissue and orthopedic procedures with board-certified specialist consultation available. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures surgical safety while post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring. Our facility maintains strict sterilization protocols.

Dr. Skinner is always great with our pups! The most affordable and friendly place in town. When going here; it's not a struggle to get our pups to walk through the door- they're so familiar with the staff they're always excited to walk in. We have even boarded here a few times and our big dog walks right back! He doesn't even turn to look at us leave he's so excited to get back there! It's a great place that you can trust, but quality care you can afford.

Great place. My dog loves coming here and is hard to get him in the car to leave. The prices are great and the people are too. I'm happy I found this vet, and wouldn't go anywhere else.
