Our facility is also fully equipped for our large animal patients with indoor hydraulic chute, separate obstetrics chute, horse stalks and fully enclosed, padded large surgery room. Our outdoor large animal facility includes full working pens, push tub, and adjustable alleyway, loading chute, and automatic waterer for boarding and day use. In addition to in-house care, we also provide on-site, ranch services to our multitude of patients including herd work and limited small animal home care as well as large and small animal boarding services on site.
