History
Established in 1997.
Lunsford Veterinary Services, Inc. was founded by Dr. Michael Lunsford in the summer of 1997 as a strictly mobile, large animal practice serving the Northwest Arkansas region. In 1999, he was joined by his wife, Dr. Niki Lunsford, who began providing part time assistance with the growing small animal patient load. With the birth of their son, in 2001, our "family practice" was also born.
In October of 2002, Lunsford Veterinary Services, Inc. opened the doors of Lunsford Veterinary Care Center, their new full service small animal hospital in Tontitown, Arkansas.
