Accompanied a friend with his senior Mule's medical needs. Met Dr. Thal, Dr. Hannah and their incredible staff. It was a very good experience at the Thal Equine Animal Hospital. Very impressed with the level of care, concern and support provided by everyone. Questions were answered without hesitation. Treatment administered attentively and patiently (some pun intended). So glad I met everyone and witnessed the professionalism. I hope to not need such services any time in the foreseeable future. However, knowing he's close by is very comforting should I require a veterinarian.

I can not thank Doug Thal enough for saving my horse Casper. Casper is my best friend and means the world to me. I don’t know what I’d do without him.
Casper has had two colic surgeries. In 2021, he had colicked and was in extreme pain. We took him to Doug that night. He found out that he had a severe impaction that could not resolve without surgery. The decision had to be made quickly. We were able to go forward with the surgery and Doug did the most amazing job.
