• Same-day urgent care. Sick and urgent patients are worked in the same day during business hours, which keeps the caseload varied.

• In-house tools. An in-house laboratory, digital radiography, ultrasound and therapeutic (cold) laser.
• Careful surgery. A pre-anesthetic panel before every surgery, and every surgical patient goes home with pain medication.
• Room for your interests. As the clinic's second doctor, you'll help decide what we grow into, whether that's surgery, dentistry or internal medicine.

• Dr. Carder. Dr. Carder holds both a DVM and a master's degree in nutrition from The Ohio State University, after earning a pre-veterinary degree at the University of Findlay. He enjoys the surgical, nutritional and clinical sides of practice, and off the clock he runs professional fireworks shows as a licensed pyrotechnician.
• A five-person support team, led by Practice Manager Cody, who has 14 years in veterinary management, and Lead Customer Service Representative Jessica. Two of our three veterinary assistants are working toward technician credentials.
• A sister hospital nearby. Metz Petz of Shawnee is part of the same family, so you have colleagues close by and mentorship opportunities with experienced veterinarians.
