Wilsonville's first veterinary clinic was built on the corner of Barber and Boberg as a predominantly equine hospital in 1973. Ray and Lynn Calkins purchased the small animal hospital and practice in 1976 when the population of Wilsonville was less than 500 with only one stop sign in town. Barber St. was gravel and a dead end at the railroad tracks, Boberg was just a dirt road and pheasants occupied the fields around. The clinic Irish Wolfhound, Niña, wandered the building freely with Tiger the clinic cat. But as the community grew we needed more space and the equine area was remodeled to develop the dental area and rework radiology. An additional remodel in 2003 expanded the reception area and added exam rooms for the new veterinarians.
