Vet care your pet
doesn't dread.

A two-doctor companion-animal clinic on the near east side, where exam rooms are quiet, visits are unhurried, and we give every patient a minute to settle before we touch them. Treats first. Always.

What we treat

Small bodies. Big personalities.

We're a companion-animal practice — we don't see livestock, exotics, or reptiles. If you have a chinchilla or a guinea pig, call us; we likely can help.

i.
Dogs
Puppy series through senior bloodwork. Lake-dog ear infections a specialty in summer.
ii.
Cats
Cat-only exam room with feline pheromones. No barking through the wall during your visit.
iii.
Rabbits
Dr. Park trained at UW vet school's exotic companion track. GI stasis seen same-day.
iv.
Small mammals
Guinea pigs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, rats. Call before you book — we'll confirm fit.
The low-stress promise

Four things we won't do to your pet.

"Fear Free" isn't a sticker on the door — it's a protocol our whole staff is certified in. Here's what that actually means in the room.

01
No bear-hugs on a steel table.
Exams happen on the floor, on your lap, or on a mat — whichever lowers heart rate fastest. We move at the pet's pace.
02
Treats before needles. Every time.
Cheese, churu, peanut butter, hay pellets — we keep what your pet likes on hand. Bring a favorite if you have one.
03
Same doctor, every visit.
You'll book with Dr. Vasquez or Dr. Park and stay with them through your pet's life. Continuity beats a chart note.
04
Honest answer when we don't know.
If you need a specialist — orthopedic surgeon, ophthalmologist, oncologist — we'll say so and refer fast. No ego.

Meet the doctors

Two vets. One clinic. A combined twenty-eight years in companion practice.

RV
Dr. Rana Vasquez
DVM · Small-animal medicine
Rana grew up in McFarland, did her DVM at UW–Madison ('09), and founded the practice in 2012 after six years in a high-volume east-side clinic. Her clinical interests are senior wellness, endocrine disease (think diabetic cats), and the half-hour conversation that comes with a hard diagnosis. She owns two cats named Pollen and Bramble.
JP
Dr. Jin Park
DVM · Surgery & soft-tissue
Jin joined in 2018 after a surgical residency at the University of Minnesota. He handles our orthopedic and soft-tissue cases in-house — TPLO, mass removals, foreign-body retrievals — and trained on rabbit and exotic-companion procedures so we don't have to send those across town. Outside the clinic, three rabbits and a long-suffering border collie.

Season note · Feb 2026

Ice fishing season: please don't bring your dog onto Lake Monona's softening shelf ice this month. We've already seen two paw pad lacerations from broken ice and one near-hypothermia in the last fortnight. If your dog goes in, call us before you drive — we'll talk you through warming on the way over.
