Office closure notice: September 17th-28th!!
We want to let our clients know that we will be taking time off to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. This past year has been such a blessing! Not only has it been fun, but we are so grateful to be able to work side by side doing what we love each day. ❤️🐴🐄🐐

We also want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we’ve taken extra time away recently. Time off is important for our marriage and helps us come back refreshed and ready to give your animals the very best care.

During our time away, we will have a doctor on call for emergencies. Please call our regular clinic number 904-228-6644 for instructions if an urgent situation arises during this time.

We kindly ask that all health certificates and medications be caught up prior to our time off. This ensures your animals are fully prepared and their needs are met without interruption.

We are truly grateful for your continued trust and support. Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your livestock!

Just hours old and already stealing hearts 🐮❤️ This little calf needed some extra help after birth, and Dr. Rigdon was there to make sure it got the best possible start.
•Knowing when to call your vet can make all the difference for newborn livestock. Early intervention can save lives and set them up for a healthy future. If something doesn’t seem right, don’t wait to reach out! 🌾💙

In honor of America’s birthday, our office will be closed on July 4th.
We’re proud to serve the backbone of this great nation- our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. On this Independence Day, we celebrate the freedom that allows us to live, work, and care for the animals that feed and sustain our country.

Wishing you a safe and meaningful 4th of July from all of us at Rigdon Vet Services. God bless 🎆🐴🇺🇸

We’re so excited to share that our Rigdon Vet Services T-shirts are now available Rhoden's Hardware Feed & Seed !

This little project has been close to our hearts! Not just because we designed these shirts ourselves, but because we get to partner with another amazing local business that supports our rural community every day.

Swing by Rhoden’s True Value next time you’re in town, grab a shirt, and show your support for local vets and hometown feed stores. Thank you for helping small businesses thrive! We couldn’t do what we do without y’all. 💙🐄🐎

Some nights look like this.

This was a late-night emergency call, over an hour away. Just one example of the unpredictable, demanding, and deeply rewarding life of a large animal vet. It’s not always glamorous. It’s late nights, long drives, and doing our best with what we’ve got, wherever we are.

We just want to say thank you to our incredible clients for your patience, understanding, and support. Especially when things get busy, delayed, or don’t go quite as planned. Your trust means the world to us, and we’re grateful to serve this community, even in the dark. 🌙🐴
