About Us
In 1980, Dr. Paulson purchased the Bakersfield Spay Clinic from long-time owner Dr. Barney. Since that time he has converted this clinic into a full service veterinary hospital.

At Stine Vet, we take pride in offering the most complete range of veterinary care, as well as the highest degree of professionalism from our veterinarian and staff members:
