Calm Animal Care Celebrates 30 Years in 2014
So many changes over those years!
The doors opened in 1984 in a cabin up Truman Creek Road, with a four-party telephone line and rustic plumbing.
The next year found us in downtown Kila, in the little orange house next to the old post office on Main Street, and slightly better facilities, but we still had to share the phone with three neighbors.
In 1989 we moved down Main Street to the current building, remodeling it from the wiring up. Acupuncture and chiropractic were added to the practice in 1997, and so was the east wing of the building.
Modernization began in earnest in 2002 when our clinic became one of the first practices in Flathead County to embrace computerized medical records, and a few years later, digital radiography, and then, solar power.
We are known for our personal touch, excellent patient and client-centered standard of care, and a down-to-earth style that has defined Calm Animal Care from the beginning. We’ve also kept pace with advances in medicine and the equipment needed to provide it, most recently adding ultrasound diagnostics and laser therapy to the services we offer.
We’ve come such a long way, and in the summer of 2014 it’s time to have a party to celebrate our 30 years. Food, marimba music, prizes, and a chance to share some quality time with our friends who have been so important to our growth. We’re so happy to be here, and excited about what the future holds.
I am looking forward to this.
