Veterinarian Support

By Jennifer Flores

Ferndale and Fortuna Veterinary Hospitals have stood watch over the animal athletes of the Fortuna Rodeo for more than 20 years. We provide emergency medical services, if needed, to the animals that the riders compete with and against.

The tradition started when doctors Ozanian and Silver owned the practice. They made the commitment to the animal athletes and a veterinarian from the practice has been at the rodeo every year since. The tradition continued after

Jennifer and Dr. Kris Flores purchased the practice in 2016.

Moving into the future, Kris and Jenn are hoping to create a full service veterinary facility in Fortuna that allows us to provide quality healthcare with the highest standards of compassion; to encourage strong owner participation; to improve quality of life through informed decisions; and to promote the welfare of pets and livestock. At Ferndale and Fortuna Veterinary Hospitals, we are called to serve our community, our patients and their families. ✪
