Here at Boomer Veterinary Hospital we treat every client as though they were family and each pet as if they were our own. In fact, we named the clinic after our dog, “Boomer.” Our entire staff is vaccinated for Covid-19 and Influenza. We have Blue Air HEPA filters to prevent the spread of airborne diseases no matter which they may be (such as Kennel Cough or Flu). We provide comprehensive, high quality veterinary care with emphasis on exceptional client service and patient care. We also believe that going to the veterinarian can be scary for some pets, but it should never be scary! We want pets to have the best experience possible, which is why we believe in Fear Free practices and not separating you from your pet during examinations.
We are the ONLY Fear Free Certified Practice in Norman and our staff are Certified Fear Free Professionals! Please bring your pet hungry so we can give them lots of treats! |

StephanieHello! My name is Stephanie! I have a passion for helping Pet Parents with all their fur baby’s needs. Just a little about myself: I love all types of animals and have worked at a veterinary clinic for nearly 8 years. During this time, I have taken care of everything from the smallest of kittens to very old dogs, and everything in between. I really enjoy geriatric patients. The clinic I worked at was very fast paced and also saw emergencies, so I acquired a variety of experience often worked under a lot of pressure and stressful situations, but it was enjoyable. I also have other animal related experience and am currently enrolled in the Veterinary Technician Program and hope to obtain my certification soon. At home, I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a bearded dragon named Buffy. One of my dogs is a 6 lb special needs blind Chihuahua named Anna.

MikaylaHello, pet parents! I'm Mika, a certified dog groomer here at Boomer Vet. Adoring pups of all shapes and sizes is what I do after growing up being no stranger to animal care from working on farms to raising litters of puppies. I have my own two beautiful girls at home: sweet old Charlie the Labrador and her fetch-loving little sister Yue the White Shepherd that my partner and I dote on and spoil to death. After training under various very talented groomers I learned valuable attention to detail and how to safely handle even the wiggliest of dogs, and decided to join the team. This line of work came to me like a miracle with my passion for dog behavior and styling, the creativity in grooming is where I fell in love with it. There isn't a day I don't look forward to improving my artistry and building precious relationships with animals. I hope to see your fur babies and maybe even bring out a style that suits them!
