Since 2002, the veterinarians and staff at Union Veterinary Clinic have been providing personalized care for small animals. Because we are a family-owned and operated, independent animal hospital, your pet will always receive top-quality medical care with plenty of loving attention.
We are a full-service, small animal veterinary clinic providing comprehensive medical, surgical, and dental care. We also have an in-house pharmacy and laboratory providing a variety of tests, including digital x-ray.
