In 1984, a “shingle” was hung and Orange City Veterinary Clinic on the west edge of Orange City opened.  In 1997, Orange City Veterinary Clinic and Pipestone Veterinary Services began what has become a 20-year plus relationship of collaboration and joint ventures.  Several sow units were established and coordinated with joint management, which provided opportunities to our swine clients that enabled them to not only survive but to thrive and grow.  The collaboration now involves nutrition, management, veterinary products, and research, which have all lead up to this announcement.

“We are teaming with Pipestone Veterinary Services to provide even more resources to our growing and ever-changing customer,” stated Dr. Dave Bomgaars of Orange City Veterinary Clinic.  “Our customers may notice a different name on the sign out front, but that comes with access to even more resources.  We will not change our commitment to providing excellent support for your successful farming operations and compassionate and professional care for your pets.”

Pipestone Veterinary Services is excited to announce the addition of Orange City Veterinary Clinic.  The acquisition made in November of 2018 will bring Pipestone Veterinary Services to six clinic locations, and another convenient option for veterinary service for it’s current customers in that area.

Dr. Dave Bomgaars will step away from the veterinary clinic to focus on a full-time role with RC Family Farms.  “I want to extend a genuine thank you to each one of you for your support of our business for the past 35 years,” said Dave.  “It has been a pleasure and privilege to provide services and products to your livestock and pets.”

The Orange City, IA location will continue to service swine, bovine, and companion animal customers through five veterinarians.  You can view their full bios on the website here http://www.ocvet.com/about-us.html

“Pipestone and Orange City have shared commitment over the years to helping independent farmers.  This allows us to do that even better with another location closer to home for some.” stated Hannah Walkes, President of Pipestone Veterinary Services.  “It is this shared passion and commitment that makes us such a good fit, and we look forward to servicing Orange City customers and the community for years to come.”
