This animal hospital was run by Dr. Paula Paetz and her staff, and was assisted by Dr. Zacagino for decades (until Dr. Z retired). The business has permanently closed as of April 2023. The sign on the door advises to check back when. It will reopen. Dr. Paetz' practice didn't charge nearly as much for services that other vets did.
