Our History:
Large Animal Practice was started in 1973 when Dr. Gary Evans purchased the Large Animal portion of Dr. Dave Wixom’s mixed animal practice. On July 4, 1976, the practice moved to its present location on Cimarron Way, in Los Osos, California. The Large Animal Practice is also proud to serve: Atascadero, San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles as well as surrounding areas.
Dr. Gary Evans, Dr. Don Warden and Dr. Michael Lyon are the veterinarians that will care for your animals. There are many benefits of a multi-doctor practice including increased resources and often a faster more flexible response time to client needs and emergencies. We also have the benefit of quick collaborative veterinary services.
