Dr. Snell purchased Tri-County Veterinary Services, formerly know as the Little Falls Veterinary Clinic on April 9th 2025. Sitting in the Township of Manheim, Tri-County Veterinary Services, has been home to a mixed-animal practice since 1960. The practice was purchased by Dr. Spaulding in 1996. The clinic building was enlarged and remodeled in 2007, and the practice expanded to two veterinarians with the arrival of Dr. Snell in June 2009. Dr. Snell purchased the large animal portion of the practice July 2013, and operated from the same building under the business name Tri-County Veterinary Services. In August 2023 we welcomed Dr. Simonelli to the team. Dr. Snell, Dr. Spaulding and Dr. Simonelli will continue to provide veterinary medical and surgical care to pets in the local communities.

Tri-County Veterinary Services provides high quality health care for dogs and cats. The comprehensive yearly physical examination continues to be the primary tool to identify health concerns, and then take steps to help your pet live a happy, healthy and long life. We test and vaccinate to protect pets from infectious disease. Our veterinarians provide a full compliment of modern medical and surgical services. The clinic is equipped with in-house IDEXX laboratory, digital radiology, digital dental radiology and ultrasound to aid in the diagnosis of disease . Modern surgical and dental suites are well equipped with up-to-date patient monitors, anesthetic ventilators and sevoflurane anesthesia to provide the safest anesthesia for each patient.  All three of our veterinarians attend continuing education courses to stay up to date with advances in veterinary medicine and surgery.   

Tri-County Veterinary Services is easy to find, located at the halfway point between Little Falls and Dolgeville on State Route 167.  Check the contact section for a detailed map and picture.
