We all love our four legged friends...and our hearts break when they get sick. Since we cannot talk with them it is so hard to guess what is wrong and what we can do about it.

But there IS a special kind of a person who actually is capable to 'speak' with them ... a VETERINARIAN.

For years my dogs and my friends horses were entrusted to Tony Epperson's care. Tony Epperson, DVM is a compassionate and dedicated veterinarian. He has been practicing veterinary medicine for almost 30 years. Most of them in Canadian County. It takes a lot of special skills and expertise to treat sick animals. It reguires quick assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Tony Epperson has it all...

The West Yukon Animal Hospital is located on Main Street in Yukon, Oklahoma. The clinic is a friendly place with very helpful assistants. Every time when one of my animals needs help I can count on Tony to return my calls and take care of the problem.

It is not fun to be in the hospital and this goes for us people and animals...but there is someting about this place that puts me at ease and I believe it is the compassion and professionalism which Tony Epperson shows on daily basis.

And you know what? My hunting dog JOSEY and my little Dixie Lou can definitely testify to that.

So whenever your four legged friend needs medical help give Tony a call at: 405-354-1946
