Animal Hospital Building New Facility in Urbana
Posted on: Monday, 22 August 2005, 09:01 CDT
Aug. 20--URBANA --An Urbana animal hospital is building a new facility on Windsor Road, complete with "luxury boarding" for dogs and cats.
Gary Brummet, who operates the A&E Animal Hospital at 3003 E. Windsor Road, said work has begun on a new 6,000-square-foot facility that will have three exam rooms, a surgery suite and radiology and dental facilities. The new building is just west of the current clinic, which Brummet expects to be rezoned for use as a duplex.
"We're going to continue to have boarding, but I'll offer some expanded boarding," he said. "There will be seven canine condos, 6 feet square, each with an outside window. There will also be two different cat boarding rooms, each with a little cat play area, and one will overlook bird-feeding stations what some people call 'Kitty TV,'" Brummet said.
Brummet said he expects the new facility to be ready for occupancy about Feb. 1. The practice treats dogs, cats and ferrets as well as exotic animals, including birds, reptiles and small mammals.
Brummet and his wife, Dr. Donna Juhl, bought the animal hospital in 1984 from its original owners, Dr. Arline Mouzer and Dr. Ethel Wagner.
Also in practice with Brummet and Juhl is Dr. Matt Allender.
The practice has three other full-time employees and six or seven part-time employees, Brummet said.
The new clinic, near the intersection of Illinois 130 and Windsor Road, will be heated and cooled using geothermal energy. Deep wells for the water piping are being dug now, Brummet said.
