Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic of Wisconsin Rapids

Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic of Wisconsin Rapids The Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic of Wisconsin Rapids offers affordable, preventative care. A few years ago the clinic was sold, and it fell on hard times.

The Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic was built by Mark and Kathy Schaack in 1993. In the past, it has boasted four veterinarians and eighteen support staff. Satisfying clients' needs was always Dr. Schaack's top priority. Doctors came and went, and there were rumors that the clinic would actually close. On October 15, 2015, the Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic was purchased by Dr. Kristie Ponc

e and her husband, Mario. This was like coming home for Dr. Ponce, who had worked at the clinic under Dr. Schaack previously, and considers him one of her most important mentors. Having grown up in this community, Dr. Ponce feels that she is very aware of the needs of local pet owners. Our staff is a mix of old and new faces. Connie Friday-Saylor, Tammy Krause, and Roberta Shaurette have each been with the Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic for at least fifteen years. We have many hard working and knowledgeable new employees also. We have big plans for our clinic and our community, both now and in the future, and welcome you to come along for the ride!

A bat in a neighboring county has recently tested positive for rabies, which serves as an important reminder to keep pets up to date on their rabies vaccinations and avoid contact with wildlife whenever possible.
Rabies is a fatal disease that can affect both animals and humans, and bats are one of the most common wildlife carriers in Wisconsin. Even indoor pets can be at risk if a bat enters the home.

We’re seeing it firsthand; parasite risks are increasing, even in our area. Ticks and mosquitoes are spreading disease beyond the “typical” seasons, which means pets are at risk longer than ever. Keeping your pet on prevention year-round helps protect them every day, not just in summer.

The Companion Animal Parasite Council's 2026 Pet Parasite Forecast predicts continued geographic expansion of Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and heartworm risk nationwide—including in areas once considered low or moderate risk.

🌷As the weather warms up, we’re already seeing an increase in ticks, and with them, tick-borne diseases in our area. In fact, 1 in 8 dogs tested so far this year have already been positive for anaplasmosis in Wisconsin, which we’re seeing more frequently than any other tick-borne disease.🌷

Now is the perfect time to make sure your pets are protected!

Stop by the clinic or visit our online store to stock up on prevention and keep your furry friends safe this season.
