Little Pet Stop Around the Corner
The dogs and cats of North Temple have found a friend in the
Pet Stop Veterinary Clinic, where they find not only attention for
their “owies” and illnesses, but preventative care for a long, healthy -
- and slobbery -- life. “Pet care begins with a healthy start,” said Tess,
office manager for the clinic. “At Pet Stop Vet Clinic, we provide for
your pet a full range of dental, medical and surgical services.”
Pet Stop Veterinary Clinic, located at 44 North 800 West –
just south of North Temple-- is a full service clinic providing
affordable, quality care to cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and pocket pets
for more than 25 years. And not only are these services provided under the quality care of Dr. Matthew
Belman, Cornell University graduate, the clinic offers some unique pricing options to help local patients
and their masters pay for the care they need. The basic, primary and optimum health plans provide for
a complete assortment of services for one yearly payment, which can
also be paid through a three month, no interest, payment plan.
“We are conveniently located in downtown Salt Lake City
minutes from the freeway,” said Tess, whose own dog, Bailey, has
received and continues to receive quality care at the clinic. “We
recommend that puppies and kittens begin their immunizations at six
to eight weeks of age against a variety of diseases prevalent in our
area. A series of timed boosters is imperative so your pet develops a
strong immune system.” Call 801-531-0662 for more information on
