We will have some 30-minute closures to the driveway in the future, for construction material delivery. We will have two-way traffic on the back alley when these closures occur. Our team will communicate these closures to the appointments affected and to clients who call in at these times.
Thank you all so much for your kindness, support, and patience while we build.

Our original office was in an historic 1910 Bungalow that sadly was destroyed by a fire in 2019. The footprint of that building is the gravel parking lot. We have started rebuilding a house/clinic on that location. We apologize for any inconvenience construction causes.
While we are in progress we will share our plans both here and on site.
We are truly excited to be getting more exam rooms and treatment space to care for our fuzzy friends.
Week of October 30th
This week the driveway was reopened. The framers have been working hard on building the second floor walls and adding sheathing to the building. The plumbers have started getting the "rough in" work done. Many kind visitors this week commented that it is really starting to "look like something!" We agree!

The dirt was filled back against the building on all sides and the framing continues. The first floor walls are mostly in and the floor system to the second floor has been almost completed as well.

The first walls went up! Our floor system was installed and the walls started going up. The dirt was put back around part of the foundation.
