About Desert Tails Animal Clinic:
We are a busy, single-doctor practice and provide a range of services: dentistry, grooming, laboratory, outpatient care, pharmacy, radiology, and surgery. Dr. Aric Remen has built solid relationships in the community and upholds a “country doctor” atmosphere, where clients feel heard, understand they “why” behind procedures, and know their pets will be treated like family. Although our practice is fast-paced, we don’t lose sight of our team members and offer a great work-life balance. We have a welcoming and inclusive team, and we genuinely enjoy working with each other. We are professional but we also understand the need for humor in this industry, so we try to have fun and not take ourselves too seriously.
We look forward to hearing from you!
