Where Pets and People Become Part of Our Family

Powered by Passion and Love for Animals

Since 1987, our iconic “Big Red Barn” has been a community landmark where generations of pet owners have trusted us with their animals. At Plum Creek Regional Animal Medical Center, we offer a full range of services, from wellness care and surgery to boarding and grooming, along with our convenient Pet Vet Express Clinic for walk-in, routine care. Here, you’ll work with a team that truly values caring for patients, continuous learning and making a difference.

We value medical autonomy and believe our veterinarians are the experts when it comes to caring for our patients. Plus, as part of our team, you’ll have future ownership opportunities to help grow your career, wealth, and legacy. If you’re looking to grow in a supportive, collaborative, and caring environment, we’d love to meet you!
