Our veterinarians are completing herd health and emergency visits as usual. Our office hours remain the same and we will continue to offer curbside service. Please note our shipments of medications and supplies are experiencing some delays, please give us 3-5 days notice if you are in need of any medications or supplies.

Thank you for ALL you do for us. ❤
