Aurochs Veterinary Service has been part of the community of Audubon for many years. It was sold to and purchased by Dr. Sara Mattson in March 2020. It once was a mixed animal practice but now focuses on quality and affordable small animal care. We have a small staff but we all have big hearts for taking care of your furry family members.
