What Makes Barker Animal Hospital Stand Out?

We are a 4-doctor small animal practice that prioritizes work-life balance by offering flexible scheduling and accommodating vacations, important events, and life outside of work.

We are fully equipped with digital radiology, a therapy laser, an in-house lab, ultrasound, and more. As a Fear-Free Certified practice, our 4-doctor team has built strong relationships within the community. There is no front vs. back at our hospital; everyone is eager to jump in where needed.
