Tri-City Veterinary Clinic has been a part of my family's life for decades! This is the only Vet Clinic I truly trust for my furry "children"...

One of the great values that sets TCVC apart from other clinics is their willingness to approach each issue with small, cost effective steps first. They don't recommend or perform outrageous, unneeded procedures until each less invasive and less costly treatment has been tried. This puts less stress on your pet and less stress on your wallet!

I recommend everyone I know and everyone I meet to visit Tri-City Veterinary Clinic. The staff is the most compassionate and caring as well. We Love TCVC!!!
