Grantsburg Animal Hospital History




HISTORY MISSION STATEMENT OUR STAFF TESTIMONIALS PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS	Our History In 1984, Dr. Greg Palmquist moved to Grantsburg and purchased an existing veterinary clinic (previously owned by Dr. Branstad) in Grantsburg, WI. He practiced companion medicine and developed the bovine and equine practice in Grantsburg, along with other doctors. In 1995, Grantsburg Animal Hospital was remodeled and doubled its size at the current location at 886 South Pine Street. In 1999, Dr. Pete Magnuson bought into the clinic as partner. He continued to develop the practice, especially companion animal. In 2001, Dr. Magnuson and Dr. Palmquist opened the Siren Veterinary Clinic at the corner of Main Street and Hwys 35/70 in Siren, WI to better serve clients living in the eastern part of Burnett County. In 2006, Wild River Veterinary Clinic opened in Pine City, MN. East Central Minnesota needed large and equine veterinarians, as a number of veterinarians quit practicing large animal medicine. Pine City was chosen as a new location because it is a rapidly growing community that is close to Grantsburg and along the I-35 corridor. About 15% of Grantsburg Animal Hospital’s clients were coming from Minnesota and the Pine City location will be more convenient for them. This clinic will serve the clients in Minnesota as well as Wisconsin for large animal medicine, companion animal exams and surgery, as well as grooming. What once started out as one doctor and one technician practice when Dr. Palmquist bought the practice in 1984, has evolved into a three facility, eight doctor, sixteen staff member practice in two states. We are very thankful for the trust and patronage shown by our valued clients that allows us to be what we’ve become today and strive to be tomorrow. We are continually keeping abreast of ongoing veterinary medical concerns and continuing our education.
