I love the people, I love the animals and I am so lucky to have been able to follow this path, one that I chose as a kid. For 42 years of practice I have seen a lot and learned a lot, and I have never stopped learning.

Care Guides
Featured care guides for canine, feline, equine and exotic pets.
Diabetes mellitus is an illness caused by the body's inability to either make or use insulin, which is a hormone produced and released by specialized cells in the pancreas. Insulin permits the body's cells to take sugar (glucose) from the blood and use it for their metabolism and other functions.
Read the guideDealing with an injured pet can be scary and frustrating. In many cases, you don't know how bad the injury is, and your pet may not be acting normally. If your pet is injured, the first thing you need to do is try to remain calm. Remember that any pet, no matter how calm or friendly, can bite or scratch when in pain.
Read the guideGrooming does more than make your dog look good. Regular brushing, bathing, and—if necessary—trimming can help keep your dog's skin and haircoat healthy, and if you can teach your dog to enjoy these activities, grooming can be another way to strengthen the relationship between you and your dog.
Read the guideHeartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects dogs, cats, and up to 30 other species of animals. It is caused by parasitic worms (heartworms) living in the major blood vessels of the lungs and, occasionally, in the heart. These worms are transmitted (as microscopic larvae) through the bite of an infected mosquito.

You all are wonderful. The care and love that you showed K. when he was ill will always be appreciated. I felt so confident that you all would take care of him. I know you went way above what I ever expected. Thanks again.
Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for pulling R. through his recent crisis. The care and compassion all of you displayed was deeply appreciated. We are thankful to have you.
My family and I want to thank the doctors and staff at the Avon Veterinary Clinic for the many years of excellent caregiving you extended to our much-loved W. He was an exuberant, fun-loving, faithful and loving dog who will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We would like to thank Dr. Morganti and Ellen for the gentle end to W.'s life they so lovingly provided — it meant a great deal to us.
Thanks for going the extra mile!
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the professionalism, caring and kindness with which you treated C. (and me) for fifteen years. I hope to bring you another patient in the future.
We just wanted to thank everybody for everything you're doing for us. It's nice to know that one has friends when moved to a new area. Also, thank you for the great care our four-legged family members are receiving. We really appreciate all of you.
