Recently, Casselton Business Association members took a closer look at the operations of Casselton Veterinary Service, one of North Dakota's leading animal care facilities. The tour was attended by about a dozen members, providing an intimate setting to dive deep into the workings of the practice.

The tour provided invaluable insight into the operational, educational, and technological advancements at Casselton Veterinary Service. It was a reminder of the dedicated individuals behind each pet's care and the ongoing commitment to excellence in veterinary medicine.

• Hearts as big as a St. Bernard’s: Casselton Veterinary Service boasts a dedicated team of 15 veterinarians, supported by 100 employees in their Casselton and Fargo locations. This strong team is crucial for managing the daily workload and ensuring that each animal receives the best care possible.
• Techno-Paws: A key highlight from the tour was learning about the significant shift from traditional X-ray technology to modern digital diagnostics. This evolution not only streamlines the diagnostic process but also enhances the accuracy and efficiency of treatments provided to their furry patients.
• Barking Demographics: Over the years, the practice has seen a change in its patient base, with canines now making up 80% of the animals treated. This shift from a previously large animal-dominant clientele reflects broader changes in veterinary care and client needs.
• Learning Tails: Education forms the backbone of Casselton Veterinary Service, with a focus on continuous learning and development. Many of the veterinarians have pursued specialized training out of state, bringing a wealth of knowledge and new techniques to the practice. Additionally, the importance of vet tech education, particularly from North Dakota State University, was underscored, highlighting the role of vet techs in providing comprehensive care to large animals.
• Paws in Motion: With 60 people working onsite daily, the Casselton facility is a hub of activity and dedication. This dynamic environment ensures that every pet and owner receives attentive and compassionate service.
