Call today and have our talented veterinary assistant, Lynne Meyer, out to shear your flock! With over 20 years of sheep shearing experience, she is one of the best!

Hoof trimming and deworming is also available to help keep your flocks healthy!

⭐️National Veterinary Appreciation Day⭐️

June 18th marks a special occasion, reminding us to thank our veterinarians and staff for all the valuable work they do to help people and their pets and livestock. Their dedication, commitment, compassion, and knowledge are invaluable tools in keeping our animals healthy and happy.

The HVS staff would like to highlight our favorite veterinarian, Dr. Sydney Hennenfent. Sydney is an exceptionally kind, smart, insightful, hardworking individual who truly cares for your pets and livestock as if they are her own. Her mission has always been to offer the best professional service in a personal manner while honoring the animal-human bond. The love and devotion she pours into every patient leaves a mark far beyond the clinic walls - it touches families, memories, and souls.
