What to Expect
Our scheduled and emergency on farm veterinary service calls are supported by six, faculty clinicians who will provide your farm animals and horses with the best possible care. Each veterinarian is assisted by one to three, senior veterinary students. These students reside in our Marysville hospital facility for 2-week rotations, during their fourth year of veterinary school. We feel very fortunate to have this level of help with us at all times, as they are eager to learn by seeing and doing, while always under our supervision.
Should you wish to haul your farm animals or horses to our Marysville hospital for veterinary services, we are happy to serve you. Our facility enables a larger team to provide a deeper level of care and observation, in a more controlled environment, with access to a greater array of equipment for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Within this facility, we are equipped to perform routine surgical procedures and provide medical management of cases that are usually resolved within a few days. For more critical or complex cases, our team is fortunate to be affiliated with the Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center Hospital for Farm Animals and Galbreath Equine Center, located on campus in Columbus, Ohio. We can provide referrals for medical and surgical cases when necessary.
We have used your services for close to 20 years and we have always been very, very pleased. It is always a comfort to know that your services are available at any time.
