Veterinarians in Taos

“Our dogs have received stellar care at Salazar for many years. All Salazar vets and techs are excellent in expertise, communication, and compassion. On our most recent visit for Ellie’s annual exam, we got to meet Dr. Clara Maxam who was also outstanding. We love that she followed up with an email of helpful information. Reception staff are really great too.

Big thanks to all!
Cindy and Christine and Ellie“

“Ted Schubach has been my vet for over 40 years. He is awesome and always has been there for our many pets over the years. The pandemic has changed the face of veterinary care in Taos. Many people moved to Taos with pets, overloading the already busy clinics in town. We only have 2 vet clinics for all of Taos County. Last year we had a dog emergency and rushed to Taos Vet only to find they were closed for lunch! So we rushed to Salazar Vet and received care only to return to Taos Vet after the crisis had subsided. When Dr Schubach was not overwhelmed by the shear need in Taos...he would make house calls to care for dying pets. In the last year we needed our elder chihuahua put down and he graciously came out to our car to euthanize our Venny in our arms. These are not cold heartless people...they are overworked and overwhelmed. They have compassion and heart and I am sorry that anyone may feel different. They can only see so many patients in a day. They only have 2 doctors. People have forgotten what Covid did to our healthcare system.“
