Founded in 1992 by John C. Courtney, the Bit and Spur Animal Hospital 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.
