We are excited to announce that effective January 3rd, the Animal Clinic will be under new ownership! After 30 years of serving our wonderful community, Dr. Ulmanis is passing the torch to Dr. Jessica Buenger.
​
Dr. Buenger has over 15 years of experience in veterinary medicine and brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience. She and her family have relocated from Wyoming, and are excited to help the clinic grow and thrive in their new chosen community of West Plains.
​
Please join us in welcoming the Buengers and their family!

Dr. Ulmanis wants to thank every one of you for your loyal support over the years. It has been an incredible journey, and we are so grateful for the memories and relationships we have built.
​
Dr. Ulmanis will still be seeing appointments several days a week as we work to support the Buenger family during this transition! We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to your continued support.

We have opened up a position for a Registered Veterinary Technician at our facility. Please share this far and wide so we can add to our clinical team!

We are still reviewing applications and starting the interview process for our Veterinary Receptionist position (and still accepting applications for that as well!)

All available positions can be viewed on our website. Apply online only at www.bigredbarnvet.com/jobs

Due to some upcoming staffing shortages, we are modifying our opening hours to allow us to better serve you.

Effective September 1st, we will be closing on Fridays. As we do not currently see appointments on Fridays, this will not affect appointment scheduling or the availability of our doctors.

We are hoping that this change will allow us to better allocate our current support staff to the days that we are seeing patients (Monday through Thursday). This is planned as a temporary change, but we will keep you posted!
