Shady Oak Veterinary Clinic

02/23/2025

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day! One of our technicians just dropped off all the donations we collected during our winter charity drive. With your help we were able to fill up an entire sprinter van! Thank you to everyone who donated. The rescue is beyond grateful and said these donations will go to their rescue efforts up north helping the strays as well as help low income residents of leech lake provide for their own animals 🤍

Happy New Year from everyone at Shady Oak!

Twas the day before Christmas, when all through the clinic, not a creature was stirring, not even the kittens. The stocking were hung down the hallway with care in hopes that St. Nick soon would be there.
The kittens were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of catnip danced in their heads.

Just a reminder, we are closed today and tomorrow. We will reopen Thursday, the 26th. If you have an emergency during the hours we are closed click the link below to see where the nearest emergency clinic is to you.

Merry Christmas from the Shady Oak staff!
