Ambulatory Service

The Ambulatory Service has grown into the largest ambulatory fleet of veterinarians in the southeastern United States. It covers a 35-mile radius of Ocala and offers a 24-hour coverage. Since 1995 over 50,000 horses have been attended, making this a very large segment of services provided by Peterson & Smith.
