History of Mart Veterinary Clinic (Since 1978)
Mart Veterinary Clinic was first opened for business on January 1, 1978 in Dr. Range’s home in Mart. Within a few months, the clinic was moved to 106 North Front Street in Mart. The front office was remodeled, and a barn for working on large animals was added along with an outdoor kennel.
After many years of growth and expansion, a property across Front Street came available and was purchased in 2003. Plans were made to build a new, much larger state-of-the-art facility that would face Highway 164 (Texas Avenue). Plans were drawn, contracts let, and construction began in February 2004, with the present facility completed for move-in on February 5, 2005.
The New Building Consists of the Following:
- A spacious waiting and reception area
- Business office
- Three examination rooms
- Pharmacy and in-house laboratory
- Autoclave room
- Coggins testing laboratory room
- Kitchen
- A large, spacious treatment room surrounded by an adjoining X-ray/imaging room and adjoining surgery room
- Laundry
- Stainless steel cages and indoor kennel runs in three separate rooms, with a dedicated cat room
Our facility was purpose-built to give pets and livestock in Mart, Texas access to the same level of care and equipment found in much larger cities, without leaving their hometown.
