About Yavapai Emergency Animal Hospital
With the coronavirus pandemic raging and much of the nation in lockdown, the summer of 2020 didn’t seem the most auspicious time to launch a veterinary practice.
But when northern Arizona’s only veterinary emergency hospital abruptly closed its doors that June, leaving the region’s pets and their families without this vital resource, practice manager Nikki Frost and Drs. Amie Dow and Barbara Batke quickly mobilized to open a new practice. Yavapai Emergency Animal Hospital opened its doors on July 1, 2020.
