Paisley Veterinary Services was started in 1994, when Dr Tammi Ribey and Dr Heather Ribey opened the doors to a rented space while the new clinic building was started on the south end of Paisley.

(Although sharing a last name, Tammi and Heather are actually not related! We often run into entertaining stories about the “two sister vets who started Paisley Vets.” )

A satellite clinic was opened in Tara in 2009. In 2013 the original clinic was renovated to double the existing space. This allowed for a second exam room, a quiet room for patient visits, a separate dental/treatment room, doubled the kennel space for dogs and a separate kennel area for cats.

Big changes came in 2019 when Dr Jenny Spurrell and Dr Tori Rice purchased the clinics. Both Dr Jenny and Dr Tori had worked at the clinic for a number of years before jumping into clinic ownership.

It turned out that this was just the beginning of a series of changes. The 2020 COVID pandemic and simultaneous challenges for veterinary medicine prompted closing of Tara Veterinary Services, partnering with Heartland Veterinary Services to provide large animal services, joining Smart.Vet and a local on-call group for combined clinic emergency coverage and Dr Jenny becoming the sole clinic owner. Our goal through every change has always been to continue to offer excellent veterinary care to our patients.

We have had a true baby boom here in the clinic, welcoming a dozen babies to the clinic family over the last few years. It makes for much more fun at clinic functions and the selection of toys the children’s table in the clinic is much more exciting!

We look forward to meeting new pets and clients, and appreciate the privilege of continuing to visit with and care for our long time patients.
