In February, Dr. Lisa Carpenter gave a presentation at Twin City Obedience Training Club (TCOTC) on Canine Nutrition to a group of about 25 dog club members.  Discussion of basic nutrition, obesity, diet types and choosing a good quality dog food was the majority of the talk. She also performed body condition scoring on the attendee’s dogs to help owners assess proper weight. 

Certified veterinary technicians, Rhonda Noetzelman, Jessica Hallman and Diane Paulus attended the Minnesota Association of Veterinary Technicians (MAVT) in Minneapolis, MN in early February.  They attended a wide variety of topics during their convention.

Construction work is ongoing on our 85th Ave. driveway entrance.  Due to county restrictions on access along 85th Ave., only one entrance for all businesses is allowed. With the development of the new 3R daycare facility, the city is installing new roads and driveway access to have just one entry point on 85th Ave.  You can access our business via 85th by driving further west to the entry and then turning back along the frontage driveway to our hospital.  You can also access our business through the church parking lot to our north.  We hope the signage will be in place by this fall and the construction should be completed soon.  We appreciate your understanding!
