History
Since the 1950's, the clinic property has been used for agriculture and livestock use. Initially established as a farm and chicken coup site, the facility was eventually modified into a veterinary clinic and was operated by Dr. Hammerich. In 1977 there was a change of ownership after Drs. Jim and Patty Latham purchased the business and continued caring for both the large and small animals of the Napa Valley for the next 24 years.
In 2001, Dr. Sonder and Dr. Northrup continued the legacy of the practice. Then in 2013, the practice was divided into separate small animal and equine businesses, and the equine division was bought by Dr. Lindsay Fisher with Dr. Sonder and Dr. Rood working as associates. In 2019, Dr. Lindsay Fisher moved to Idaho and Dr. Sonder bought the practice back bringing on Dr. Vanessa G.B. Rood, Megan Van Coutren (Office Manager) and Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center as partners.
