NWA Business news in brief

Mobile veterinary clinic off, running

Robb Jones recently started Jones Mobile Veterinary Service. The mobile clinic serves animals in Benton and Washington counties, and it takes appointments from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The business is a fully functioning veterinary clinic on wheels and is equipped to provide most service that a stationary veterinary clinic can provide, including surgery, dental procedures and vaccinations.

Jones has been a practicing veterinarian in Fayetteville for seven years, working as the staff veterinarian at the Fayetteville Animal Shelter and providing orthopedic surgeries at area clinics.

He received his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Arkansas in 1993 and his doctor of veterinary medicine from Louisiana State University in 1999. He completed a small animal medicine and surgery internship at the University of Florida, and he worked as the assistant chief of surgery at the Humane Society of Missouri in St. Louis.

Appointments can be made by calling (479) 595-5511 or going online to jonesmobilevet.com.
