Services

We provide care for horses, and most domestic farm animals including cattle, goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas, pigs, and companion pet pigs.

Haul-In Policy: We can provide the best, efficient care for the individual sick goat, sheep, and pet pig at our clinic and require that they are hauled to our facility.  Farm calls for these species are restricted to herd-health visits for wellness care for multiple animals.
