Our staff creates a relationship with you and your pet the moment you walk through our doors.

We have state-of-the-art equipment including ultrasound, electrocautery, digital radiology, dentistry, cold laser therapy, advanced anesthesia and patient monitoring devices and electronic medical records. 

We proudly partner with area Humane Societies and Rescue Groups to extend quality care to rescues and fosters through their adoption process and thereafter.

We are located in Richfield MN. Richfield is a small suburb of Southeast Minneapolis and is conveniently close to all major highways. The Airport, Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Education/Visitor Center (14,000-acres!) and The Mall of America are located just 10 minutes away. There are many lakes (with some favorite fishing spots) and recreational areas with access to numerous local shops, restaurants, and breweries within a 10 mile radius. The area has very low crime, many parks and a great library and community center. Richfield is very family friendly, has great schools and affordable housing.
