We think we have all the emails sent!
CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER
We have several people that said it was delivered to spam. If you check there and still did not receive it either call the office or message the page. Facebook comments are too hard to keep straight.
If you asked for them to be printed they are sitting here ready for pick up!

Just want to end the day with saying thank you to everyone for all the flowers, breakfast, coffee, cards and well thoughts today.
As far as the flea/tick and heartgard it is going fast and it’s impossible to keep up on here with what everyone needs.
So we are just doing a first come first serve. You can call and pay for over the phone to hold if you can’t make it in.
We are getting records out as fast as we can but unless you need them immediately for something expect to get them within the week. We will make a post when we are caught up to make sure we didn’t miss anyone.
Also we will open at 8am for now, no need to be here at 7:30!
Thanks!

‼️‼️‼️Update ‼️‼️‼️‼️
As of right now we will be operating as a grooming and boarding facility only. Dogs will still be required to be up to date on shots.
We are able to sell the rest of the flea/tick heartgard and the food. We will not be able to order more so once it’s gone it’s gone.
We can not dispense monthly medications but we can print what you have been getting so you can get it elsewhere.
Please give us this week to get records emailed to you. We have hundreds to send. If you need them immediately for something please call.
That is all we know for now 💙🐾

03/02/2026

We are here at the clinic to print off or email records this morning.
If you want your records emailed you can call or message the page here.
We will have a more detailed update later today.
Thank you all for all the sweet words and messages, We know Doc was loved 💙

We are saddened to announce the loss of
Doctor Kent Torbeck
As much as we would love to call all of you individually, that’s just not possible with thousands of clients.
Doc was a wonderful veterinarian for over 30 years serving Lamar and Stockton.
We will miss him dearly.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

As far as what the future holds we have no clue right now, we are just trying to get through today. 💙

We will know more next week on how to proceed
We will be closed today
