David Wilkinson has been caring for our animals for 27-28 yrs both farm & pets. When my son was 8, he was there on a late night call & saved his ferret's life, my doberman broke her leg, he expertly place a rod in her leg. He saved her life & gave her years of running joy. His staff is reliable & caring & many have been there long term. They will care for your pets like their own.

We have been going here for over 20 years. Dr Dave is more of a friend and vet. He has taken care of all my animals. Thru thick and thin operations and all. His staff is great and friendly. Everybody has been great even when we had to have them put down. I now have a new cat Lucy Lu that I just got from them.
