Overview

We are dedicated to providing high quality veterinary care for dogs and cats. Our goal is to ensure that your furry companions receive the best possible medical treatment

Established in 2008 by former owner Dr. Wayne Hodsden, our practice has long been committed to providing high-quality, affordable veterinary care for dogs and cats in a small, personal, and compassionate setting. In August 2017, the practice was acquired by Dr. Shane Donner, who served as sole owner and practicing veterinarian until his unexpected passing in June of 2025. Determined to preserve this small-town private practice and continue serving our community, Dr. Melissa Mroziak and Dr. Tribetta Spires stepped in to lead the clinic forward

Mission — We will strive to the best of our ability to have a friendly and caring environment in which we can create an atmosphere of trust between our veterinarians and clients
