The Drive from Bisbee to Our Douglas Clinic

From Bisbee, our clinic at 2555 E 9th St in Douglas is about 24 miles via AZ-80 E — roughly 30 to 35 minutes, depending on traffic. Bisbee sits tucked into the Mule Mountains, and the high-desert terrain between here and Douglas is the same landscape your dog navigates on every hike or trail run. That terrain carries real risks. Rattlesnakes and other desert hazards are active in the Mule Mountains and the broader Sulphur Springs Valley, and dogs that spend time outdoors are genuinely exposed. Bisbee's close-knit, artistically rooted community is full of dog and cat owners who need more than a basic wellness visit. Conditions like eye disease, skin disorders, and small growth removal require specialist capabilities — ophthalmology, dermatology, and cryotherapy — that aren't available at every rural clinic in the region. We offer all of them under one roof.

High Desert Veterinary Service was established in 1986 by Michael John and has remained family-owned ever since. We're USDA accredited and offer consistent long-term care for your pet under one roof. Limited 24/7 emergency service is available — if you call after hours and reach voicemail, leave a message and we'll follow up on the next business day. Our emergency line stays active for urgent situations. You'll find us at 2555 E 9th St, Douglas, AZ 85607.
