Check Out The Animal Clinic of ChardonMarch 1, 2014 brightcove.createExperiences(); Live Oak Bank Clinic Profile: Animal Clinic of Chardon from Lumina Media on Vimeo. When Drs. Tom and Wendy Frankmann decided to build their own animal hospital, the Animal Clinic of Chardon went from its original 2,400 sq. ft. to nearly 7,000 sq. ft. The new clinic has separate entrances and exam rooms for dogs and cats. Working with Live Oak Bank of Wilmington, N.C., the Frankmanns designed and built a clinic that allowed them to add services such as the Learning Center, where staff meetings and client classes are held. In addition to expanded cat and dog boarding areas, the clinic now has a play area for two-legged children, whose parents can watch them from the dog exam rooms. Due to the area’s variable weather, one of the new services the clinic offers is a self-serve dog wash, providing clients the convenience to bathe their pets on the premises. The Comfort Room offers a relaxed, quiet and serene setting while clients wait for their pets to be euthanized. The room features a private exit and a large photo of a cat’s paw in a …

Osage Animal HospitalOctober 24, 2013 Animal hospital tour brought to you by Live Oak Bank. Jay Kirkpatrick, DVM, had practiced for over 20 years at Osage Animal Hospital when he and his wife, Lori, decided the hospital needed more space. The result is their dream hospital: 8,600 square feet worth of medical, grooming and boarding facilities under one roof. It opened in 2010 and is shown from where the old hospital stood. Live Oak Bank of Wilmington, N.C., financed the project. In Osage Animal Hospital’s reception area, Dr. Kirkpatrick’s Iowa influence is shown in the use of a red barn and silo, and the animals depicted on the wall are the Kirkpatricks’ own pets. The barn motif includes sliding "barn doors” behind the checkout counter and "hay lofts” painted on the wall above. The hospital’s motto — "Modern Medicine, Down-Home Care” — is prominently featured. Osage Animal Hospital includes ICU runs and dog and cat wards; the runs are cleaned twice a day and the outdoor exercise area is lined with artificial turf. The hospital also features an advanced HVAC system that the Kirkpatricks credit with keeping the clinic from "smelling like a clinic.” It brings in fresh air, controlling …
