Huntsville Veterinary Clinic

Owner: Dr. Chris France, DVM
Location: Huntsville, Ark.

History: Dr. Chris France attended the University of Arkansas for four years, then attended Louisiana State University for Veterinary School. After graduating in 2001, he returned to Northwest Arkansas and helped is father, Dr. Gary France, in his veterinary practice.
“I worked in his mixed animal practice for 12 years before purchasing the practice in Huntsville, Ark. The transition from Pea Ridge, Ark., to Huntsville was easy, due to the areas being very similar,” Chris said.

Products and Services: The Huntsville Veterinary Clinic offers a variety of services at the practice, from large and small animals surgery services to small animal boarding.
“We have the ability to take digital radiographs, to perform ultrasounds and to use therapeutic laser on our cases,” Chris said. “The office also provides ambulatory services, in which we make farm calls. In addition, we offer large animal emergency services after hours, and we transfer small animal emergencies to the Northwest Arkansas Small Animal Emergency Clinic.”

Philosophy and future: Chris said a clinic’s success is dependent on high-quality animal health care and superior customer service, which means being there when needed.
“I have an excellent staff that organizes scheduling and smooths traffic flow in the office while keeping a friendly and upbeat attitude because clients are frequently very concerned about their animals,” Chris said. “In five years I would like to add one full-time veterinarian and one part-time, with four additional veterinarians within 10 years. I am also considering remodeling and expanding the facilities to incorporate more stalls, pens, kenneling and surgery areas.”
