Our mission is to provide high-quality, compassionate veterinary care to our patients. We strive to do this in a homey mountain setting. Dr. John and Carolyn Rule purchased this practice in 1981 and have been the sole owners since. We continuously update our equipment to keep it state-of-the-art. Our most recent additions are a laser surgical unit and sevoflo anesthesia, which is best for geriatric patients.

 |
We offer an in-house laboratory, x-rays, surgeries, dentals, vaccinations, microchipping, and more. We also have a full-service kennel for dogs and cats. We would love to meet you and your pet and add you to our growing list of satisfied clients.
