Celebrating New Veterinary Service in Sagle

Fry Creek Animal Clinic celebrated their new business with the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors in March 2010 after opening in June 2009.

Located near Fry Creek at 470889 Highway 95 in Sagle, Fry Creek Animal Clinic is a full-service veterinary clinic south of the Long Bridge. They provide a wide variety of services to small animals including spays, neuters, other surgeries, dental work, and emergency services.

In addition to regular visits, they offer shot clinics the second and fourth Saturday each month between 12 and 1 pm and encourage pet owners to obtain vaccines. They have offered a community service project, a cat spay and neuter clinic, in hopes that the reduced cost program can benefit the public with the feral and stray cat population.

The Clinic is owned and operated by Dr. Marvelee Higgins DVM, and husband Jerry Higgins. They and their staff are pleased to provide professional and compassionate care to pets in Bonner County. Dr. Higgins comes with a wealth of training and experience from Colorado State University, 8 years in busy California Clinics, Bonner Humane Society, and working as a relief Veterinarian. She is glad to be “home” where her father Cecil McConnell was born, raised and resides.

Fry Creek Animal Clinic is open Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm with early drop offs at 7am and Saturdays, 9 am to 1 pm.

For more information, call (208) 263-7707.
