We are well-equipped with digital X-ray, dental X-ray, ultrasound, dental unit, blood analysis, and an operating room. We have a well-visited pet food store where we also sell various supplements, shampoos, and aids for both small animals and horses. We are a cheerful group with a strong sense of community. We value good camaraderie and see it, along with our competence and service, as our strengths.
