SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR LIVESTOCK & PETS

Every herd and pet is unique, with its own needs and circumstances. We work closely with owners and caregivers to create effective, achievable treatment and preventive plans. Strong relationships, client education, and ongoing support are at the heart of helping you reach these goals.

WELCOME TO WESTERN PLAINS VETERINARY CLINIC



Dr. Matt Temaat and his team at WPVC treat your pets as if they were family members and regard your livestock as essential to your livelihood. We take immense pleasure in offering veterinary care to the pets and livestock of our neighbors and friends. Our services frequently include the treatment of cattle, dogs, cats, and horses!

Our goal is to help your animals achieve their objectives, prevent diseases, and identify issues at an early stage. We accomplish this through herd management, reproductive services, examinations, preventative vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and dental care.

Should your animal or herd experience an illness, we are well-equipped and experienced to diagnose and treat the condition appropriately. We operate a comprehensive medical and surgical veterinary hospital, offering in-house bloodwork, radiology, ultrasonography, gas anesthesia, hospitalization, and a dedicated team of veterinarians and staff to deliver the necessary care.
