Who We Are

We believe in working with you, the pet owner, to give your pet a happy and healthy home environment.  Pets are an important part of all our lives, and we want nothing more than to ensure your friends remain with you for a long, long time.  We are the friendly, “first line” of medical attention.  With Dr Gal’s experience, he is able to diagnose and treat most of the presenting problems. However, he will not hesitate to refer a complicated case to a wide network of specialists. Our interest is to offer the best help possible that will benefit your pet and not our pocket.  We are your trusted veterinary family practice: big enough to perform routine surgeries and to hospitalize non-critical patients, but small enough to convey a feeling of intimacy. We encourage people to treat pets like family; we emphasize the advantage of acquiring pet insurance, but we will not abandon the ones who lack financial resources. We will discuss the pros, the cons, the limitations, and advantages of the available approaches. Our prices are competitive and fair.  We want you to know we are here for you and you can count on us throughout the lives of your precious pet companions.
