Our team is growing! We are very excited to add another veterinarian to our team in response to our practice's years of client growth.

Together they have multiple decades of experience. Not to mention they are supported by seven, equally experienced CVTs!

We look forward to meeting you!
About the area:
Owatonna has a lot of local parks and great outdoor activities. There are plenty of fun locally owned businesses like breweries and ice cream shops in town! If you enjoy diversifying your commute, there are well-kept bike trails through town that a few of our staff members ride to work. There are great yearly events like our holiday parade, free concerts in the park every Thursday in the summer months, farmers market, Owatonna blades junior hockey games, and more.
