History
Established in 1984.
Bowie Pet Clinic opened its doors to the pet owners of Bowie, TX, in early 1984. I purchased and renovated a cute little "gingerbread house" existing building on Mill Street for my original clinic facility. We have grown through the years into a thriving Veterinary practice, and outgrew our original clinic facility by the time Bowie Pet Clinic celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2004. Again, I chose to purchase an existing building to renovate as we did originally, this time on Smythe Street, the last cobblestone street in town, in what was essentially a large structurally sound downtown building going to waste. Bowie Pet Clinic is now located at 100 N Smythe in downtown Bowie. We created and built the business facilities we needed through Reuse, Renovation, Revitalization, Energy Conservation, and Green Building.
Meet the Business Owner: Dr Pam B.
Howdy! I'm Pamela Lee Barlow, DVM - but everyone here calls me Dr. Pam. I was raised in El Paso, TX, and had animals of nearly every kind while I was growing up. I showed rabbits in 4-H; bottle raised baby calves; kept the usual dogs, cats, birds and fish; and caught lizards and snakes in the desert. Veterinary Medicine is my "calling", and I never dreamed of doing anything else with my life. I graduated from Texas A&M University Veterinary School in 1979. I accepted an Army Scholarship to be able to afford my education, so after graduation I served on active duty for three years at Fort Sill (Lawton), Oklahoma. After leaving active duty in 1982, I continued to serve in the active Army Reserve as a Citizen Soldier, and retired in 2007. I moved into the Bowie area in 1983, and opened Bowie Pet Clinic in 1984. I am active member of the Bowie, TX, business community, and have served as a Director in both the Chamber of Commerce and the Bowie Main Street Association.
