Led by Dr. Kelly Tarkington, we pride ourselves on providing the best care offering a wide variety of medical, surgical, and dental services using progressive, modern medicine and innovative technology. Our team is proud to see emergency and urgent care cases which allow our GP Veterinarians to see things you typically wouldn't see in a "regular" GP hospital.  We are proud to provide care of all the surrounding area police dogs and fire department therapy dogs. Additionally, we help the Visalia Feral Cat Coalition, work with the local SPCA and several local rescues, and donate to the local SPCA under deceased patients' names. To complement our doctors, we have an experienced support staff and a strong leadership team to help in your success to deliver the best care to each pet and pet owner!
