Mariposa Veterinary Wellness Center is the result of many years of planning and a commitment to bring integrated veterinary medicine to families in an warm and inviting facility.

Our mission is to provide the most beneficial combination of therapies for each individual pet and family in a friendly, home-like, environmentally responsible setting. We will meet our patient’s needs with respect and compassion. We will provide our clients with information and support, empowering them in their choices for their pet family members.

The building was constructed using straw bale design with passive solar and natural lighting throughout the facility. Full-spectrum compact fluorescent lighting is employed for energy conservation as well as for the well-being of the pets and people in the building. Our digital radiography system eliminates the need for processing chemicals and silver recycling. Non-toxic paint and surfaces were used whenever possible to prevent off-gassing and “sick-building syndrome”. Recycling bins are incorporated for paper, plastic, and glass and the medical records are paperless. The landscaping uses native plants and rain gardens for water conservation and to attract local birds and butterflies
