Dogs and cats are have made an epic migration from the back yard to the bedroom and from the kennel to the couch. They have ascended the human social ladder starting as hunters and protectors of flock and family, they are now more than valuable objects worth only their cost in dollars. These pets have the same social value as family members. No longer are pets named “spot” or “fido” they now have human names, appear in family photos and represent trust and loyalty more than any other element of society. It is in this new domain of “petdom” that Safari excels. We believe in human level veterinary care for your loved one. We believe in diagnosing and discovering disease before it is clinically apparent. We understand the bond you have with your pet; we know that your pet is a part of your family.
