Welcome to Bit & Spur Animal Hospital

Founded in 1992 by John C. Courtney, D.V.M., we moved to our new building in November 1998. Our facility offers the latest in Veterinary design, including separate but connected surgical and x-ray suites, and intensive care monitoring. Grooming and boarding are part of the main building but have separate air conditioning and ventilation systems. The design of the office was done to allow for visibility throughout the clinic, avoiding confinement, as well as aiding in patient comfort. Our facility is fully computerized, and we have been a member of AAHA since October 1999.

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is an international association of more than 27,000 veterinary care providers who treat companion animals. Established in 1933, AAHA is well known among veterinarians and pet owners for its standards for hospitals and pet health care. Over 3,000 veterinary hospitals voluntarily participate in the AAHA hospital evaluation program. Trained consultants regularly visit these hospitals to ensure compliance with AAHA's standards for services and facilities. Individual veterinarians can also be members of AAHA.

AAHA reminds pet owners that they can help pets live healthier and longer lives by taking their pets to the veterinarian for annual physical exams, vaccinations, and dental care as well as providing pets with fresh water, a balanced diet, and exercise.
