Welcome

Compassionate Care - Exceptional Medicine

SMALL ANIMALS

We tailor your dog or cat’s needs to their lifestyle from puppy/kitten vaccination recommendations to giving your pet the best quality of life through their senior years.

LARGE ANIMALS

Our goal is to help producers and hobbyists learn what is the optimal care for their pigs, sheep, goat, or cattle herds for maximum efficiency and profitability.

Equine

We customize our horse patient’s diagnostics and therapies after extensive discussion to help riders to achieve their goals whether they be simple nutrition or complex systemic or lameness issues.

Why Choose Us

LONGER APPOINTMENTS

We block larger amounts of time per appointment to meet clients, get to know your animal, and to discuss your companion animal, horse, or herd needs.

MOBILITY

In addition to our brick-and-mortar hospital setting, if your pet is nervous during traditional veterinary visits, we provide a wide variety of services within the comfort of your home.

CUSTOMIZED CARE

We aim to work in tandem with owners to recommend the best therapies and diagnostics for your companion animal, horse, and farm animal needs.

UBIQUITOUS

Our practice has regularly scheduled appointments on San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez islands. You can text or request an appointment from our website.

About US

We are a small practice which is locally owned by a family of multi-generational islanders with an interest in customizing care for your companion, equine, or farm animal’s needs. Our practice extends to multiple islands within the San Juans with routinely scheduled appointments on San Juan, Lopez, and Orcas Islands.
