Some breeding/reproductive services may require a consultation with our Board Certified Theriogenologist, Dr. Carla Barstow or Dr, Joshua Trumble at our sister hospital in Lakeland. Dr. Trumble does have limited office hours at TVH. Highland Pet Hospital is one of the leading reproductive facilities in Florida.
