Over decades, we expanded our focus to include equine and small animal care, relocating to Nooksack in 1996 to enhance our small animal facilities with advanced diagnostics, surgery, and dental services. Under new ownership by Dr. Greg Ingman since 2022, we now specialize exclusively in small animal care, maintaining a legacy of trust and expertise. Our hospital offers in-house laboratory analysis, radiology, ultrasound, and comprehensive wellness programs tailored to pets' life stages. With a dedicated team of veterinarians and support staff, we prioritize compassionate care, utilizing cutting-edge technology to diagnose and treat medical conditions efficiently.Our preventive services, including flea and tick control, ensure long-term pet health, while surgical expertise covers spaying, neutering, and soft tissue procedures. We emphasize client education through extensive pet health resources, interactive tools, and personalized treatment plans. Our commitment to excellence extends to anesthesia protocols, pain management, and therapeutic cold laser therapy for optimal recovery. Recognized for consistent service improvements, we transitioned from farm animal care to focus entirely on companion animals, reflecting evolving community needs.

Been taking my dogs here for years. Always feel like they care for my dogs and treat them the best way they know how to. Can usually get an appointment within a week as well, which can be hard at other places.

The doc was willing to have me take a holistic approach to my fur babies ailment. Which I liked. I wasn't keen on not being able to accompany my pet inside and she tends to have anxiety. Just would like to let her know everything is ok. I'll take her again.

Great people, great experience and they helped our new puppy who was sick. I had several people tell me to bring him here. They were amazing and he was doing better within a day. We will be switching our older dog over to them as well.
