About Our Business

The El Dorado Animal Clinic was established in 1910 By Dr. Amos Gish.   His
son, Dr. John Gish, took over the practice for his father in the 1940's.   The
current owner, Dr. Davy Harkins, has been a member of the practice since 1971
and has managed its growth since 1976.  Dr. Harkins was named Kansas
Veterinarian of the year in 2006 by the Kansas Veterinary Medical Association.  

Our Registered Veterinary Technician is Kathy Daily, who has working with Dr.
Davy since 1977.  She has been honored to receive the Veterinary Technician of
the Year award in 1999 by the Kansas Veterinary Medical Association.

To better serve our clients, we undertook a major remodeling and expansion of
the building in 2000.   We maintain the newest technology and facilities to best
serve your needs.

Dr. Harkins loves to educate his clients, staff, and anyone who will listen.  He
hosts the sophomore class of Colby Community College's veterinary technician
program for 2 days every February to help give them a taste of  veterinary
medicine outside of the college setting before they are ready to embark on their
chosen career.

The El Dorado Animal Clinic is a full service Veterinary Hospital.  We treat all
species of animals - small, large & exotic - Dr. Davy is even the doctor on call for
the zoo on occassion!   Dr. Harkins is also one of the few doctors in the state to
perform such procedures as root canals and braces on pets.  Our practice
offers an in-house laboratory, radiology including ultrasound, laser surgery,
advanced dentistry, pet boarding, including separate dog and cat wards, plus
standard wellness care and surgery.  We also have a certified animal
chiropractor, Dr. Rodney Clements, who adjusts patients at our office once a
week.
