Services
Dr Tom Dougherty started our practice in 1971 after he had completed an internship in surgery at Auburn University Veterinary School and a residency in surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School. Dougherty Veterinary was, and still is, dedicated to caring, knowledgeable, and open client informed treatment of companion animals.
The Dougherty Veterinary accepts payment via cash, check, Care Credit, MasterCard, Visa and American Express. So that we can continue to provide you high quality service utilizing the best medical technologies, we request that payment be made at the time services are rendered. We provide estimates for all surgeries and hospitalizations. If you have not received an estimate, you are welcome to request one at any time for your expected charges.
2. We accept debit cards, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express) checks and cash. All cards must be signed by the owner of the card. 3. When the unexpected illness strikes a pet, unexpected expense strikes as well. We understand this and are able to make special arrangements through the CareCredit program.
Spaying and neutering pets is a procedure performed every day in most veterinary clinics, but that does not make it "routine." At the Dougherty Veterinary Clinics we feel that there is a standard of care that must be maintained every time a surgical procedure is performed. These are some questions you may have regarding the spaying or neutering of your pet.

Highly recommend Dougherty Veterinary Clinic! They're extremely knowledgeable and very loving with my German Shepherd! She is never scared to go to their clinic and I never feel like they are out to make an extra profit or push any medicine or treatments that are not necessary. I always recommend this veterinary clinic to all of my family and friends!

Dr. Lisa is the best vet person ever. We had our 1st springer there he was 15, now our sheltie, and most recently we had to put our son down he was 13. Lisa made it all perfect. She dedicates her time, compassion and emotional empathy. I wish front desk girl had a drop of these amazing traits! At the time of our heartache, she was rude, aweful said Dr. Liss was "too busy" and hung up on us! The only reason we go there is Dr. Lisa.

We got a new pup a few months ago and after a long search (with everyone being booked out until September) we picked Dougherty. It was meant to be. We see Dr. Emma and she has been so good with our dog. Everyone is always on time, we're never waiting long, professional, kind, good with our pup, and seem genuinely happy to be helping. The rooms are always clean and well taken care of.
Recently we had a scare and though they were booked up (early before a weekend) they made time to get us in. They took our concerns seriously and provided us with great communication for the duration of time, and sent us home with clear instruction. We were nearly ready to drive our dog to the cities. Thank you for being so accommodating and willing to squeeze us in! We have made this our vet clinic of choice!

We just moved to Duluth and were looking for a vet - in particular, one that would see birds. Everyone at Dougherty was so kind and helpful! We are new bird owners and this was our first time bringing him to a vet. They patiently answered all of our questions, and were so sweet and gentle with our bird. We are VERY happy and look forward to returning with the rest of our furry family!

Fantastic, genuinely compassionate service. Very flexible and willing to do what they can to make your pet comfortable. The vet and the techs are so kind, helpful and thorough. When no other vet could see me, Dr. J made a last minute emergency appt so I could be with my cat when he was put down. She was so patient and gentle. Thank you. It made all the difference.
