Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Consider pet insurance

Customer for life! I have known Dr. Russ for over 30 years and I have taken all my pets to him. I have tried other Veterinarians since I moved 2 hours north, but I didn’t get the kind of care I expected. So now we all get into the car and take the drive for my dog’s checkup.

Loving and attentive staff who make your pet feel like one of their own. Classic veterinary practice without all the pushy upsell of newer "modern" places. You will never leave here feeling like they didn't do everything possible to make your pet feel comfortable.

Always a pleasure dealing with Dr Russ and staff. Have been with them for 14 years and always have been there for me and my pups! Very responsive to calls and care about your pet as if they were theirs.
