Animal Tracks is a small animal clinic that offers a wide range of services, including vaccines, surgery, dental cleanings, in‑hospital blood work, digital radiographs, ultrasound, boarding, and doggie daycare. The team is a group of caring individuals dedicated to providing quality pet care in a warm, friendly, and family‑like environment. Our passion is animals, and we treat each patient as a family member.

We are ready to welcome a veterinarian of any experience level! As a young doctor, we’ll provide mentorship to help you start a wonderful career. As an experienced doctor, we’ll support whatever your passions may be. Our fear‑free practice has a “homey” feel (the building was originally a house), with three exam rooms, a surgery suite, groomer and boarding kennel. Updated equipment includes an in‑house lab, digital radiographs, and an ultrasound.

Our hours encourage a strong work‑life integration, with the last appointment at 4:10 pm. Ideally, the next doctor will love surgery and dentistry.
