The clinic has been in the Deer Park Community since the early 1950's. In 1953 Dr. Dean Snook bought the practice from Dr. Jim Lyons. Later that year he was joined by partner Dr. Ernie Kettel. Dr. Dennis Koesel joined the practice in 1974 followed by his brother Dr. Dean Koesel in 1980. They were later joined by Dr. John Harris in 1993, Dr. Lawrence Gay in 1999, and Dr. Carrie Foster in 2005. Dr.'s Kettel and Snook has since retired. All of our doctors are graduates of the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The original clinic was located on East Crawford ( in the mall across from express way), it then moved to it's new building on West Crawford near HWY 395 where it was located for over 30 years! The practice eventually outgrew the building and the construction on the new/present dayclinc was completed and moved into in April 1999. For many years the clinic was primarily a dairy practice. Today dairy work constitues for less than 10% of our buisness. Over the years the clinic has evolved into more of a mixed animal practice as the animal population has changed. Currently, more than 60% of our patients are dogs and cats. We also work on horses, cows, sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, pigs, and most other domestic animals.
