Large Animal Veterinary Services in Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island

At GVVS, we specialize in smaller hobby farms and backyard bovine pets. We work hard to provide effective treatments, combining the latest drugs that modern medicine can offer with the "old farm remedies" learned from a lifetime of working with farmers. Strict attention is paid to what medications are legal and appropriate for a food-producing animal. 

GVVS is proud to provide a full range of care for your llamas and alpacas. Dr. Thibeault has over two decades of experience working with these species. Whether you have a herd of 2 or 50, we can help you with all aspects of care and management. Many of our clients are active in the show circuit, so we are well-versed in testing requirements and proper completion of Certificates of Veterinary Inspection. Dr. Thibeault has completed a Camelidynamics handling and behavior course and works closely with specialists all over the country to help solve the more challenging cases that he encounters.

GVVS will be happy to care for your commercial and pet pigs, and recognize the different needs of raising pigs for food as well as the needs and emotions of someone with a pet pig in their home. We evaluate nutrition, housing, and parasite control in addition to routine hoof and tusk trimming and vaccines when needed.

GVVS can provide veterinary care for your poultry utilizing production medicine principles for managing large flocks. Backyard birds that all have names are treated with the same regard as any other family pet. To provide the best care possible we consult specialists as needed and regularly attend continuing education meetings.
