It is during the joyous holiday season that we all reflect on everything that we are most thankful for, notably, the meaningful relationships we have with our families, friends, colleagues, clients, and patients!<\/p>\n

This year, the Animal Emergency Clinic made some changes so that we may better serve you and your clients while differentiating ourselves in the veterinary community.\u00a0 The biggest change is our name, which is now The Animal Emergency and Referral Center of Minnesota<\/a>. Although our name and look have changed, please know that we continue to be passionately dedicated to the highest standard of care to our patients and their people.<\/p>\n

May the New Year be filled with promise and prosperity.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
