Friars Road Pet Hospital
in retirement

After over 20 years of service, Dr. Brian Peterson has taken retirement. He thanks you for the opportunity to care for your loved ones, and selected Dr. Laura Halsey to take over the care and wellbeing of his patients. As part of this transition, and to help provide the best care for your pet, we are splitting wellness and urgent care needs into two separate locations.
