My brother owns Merrick Animal clinic in Brookfield. The other thing to investigate would be independent vets doing house call practices which, assuming you can find one, would be cheaper than a clinic and much less stressful for the animals (my brother did that before buying Merrick 14 years ago).

We have used house call vets for many years, and they are wonderful in terms of experience for the animals. However, in my experience they are universally far more expensive than clinics (which we still go to sometimes if it's semi-urgent and our mobile vet is not available).
