Timberlyne Animal Clinic was opened in 1987 by Dr. Wally Diehl in the Timberlyne Shopping Center. After four years of growth the clinic was outgrowing the shopping center space. It was decided that Timberlyne Professional Center would be built in 1991. This state-of-the-art building would provide a new home for the clinic along with multiple office suites for lease. Dr. Jason Smith also practices exotic and pocket pets veterinary medicine at Timberlyne Animal Clinic, which is an AAHA accredited clinic. TAC's primary practice base consists of cats and dogs, with a small percentage of patients being exotic animals.

My 2 year old boar had some pretty severe malocclusion. The clinic was wonderful to him and they made us feel comfortable. Potato's heart stopped beating and he stopped breathing while under anesthesia but they saved him! I think this is because they had several people in the room all monitoring and checking on one little pig. They helpfully answered all my questions and treated Potato like he was their own :) It was fairly priced and we received an itemized print out that was helpful. I would highly recommend this clinic for piggies and other exotics. We were so worried about Potato, but he was in really good hands.
Very compassionate when Tilly took ill. SubQ fluids, nutritional support, and additional treatment in moderation, without excess, without ineptitude or inefficiency. Sweet about taking all my calls when she worsened again at home, walking me through medicating and giving fluids myself. Cleaned her up nicely when I took her body home so my kids wouldn't see her messy after her illness and passing. Helped me teach my kids about ethical pet care.
Keeps my sows in top condition, and handles one in particular so well she talks, wheeks, and chatters at them the whole time we are there. No hiding in her house or cuddle cup when at TAC! If unfamiliar with a treatment, they do their homework and find answers without pontificating and pretending to be experts. Understands when and if a family is limited to certain treatment options, especially if little kids are involved and don't want to see their piggy in pain or growing tumors. No judgment within their walls while I make tough decisions.
Help prevent dental problems, parasites, skin infections and scurvy by educating about good home care, living surface area, and nutrition, rather than treat after I do harm rather than help, then saving me major money and piggy's risk for sedated dental cleaning or intensive/critical care. Thanks TAC!
Great care for my plethora of cats and dogs too.
