About
In 1975, Dr. Andrew Peterson opened the Enderlin Veterinary Service in a storefront armed with just a truck and an exam table. Four years later, he opened the Enderlin Veterinary Clinic on Hwy 46. Forty-three years later, Dr. Sara Fridrych became the owner to continue the legacy of high quality care our clients know and love.

Andrew Peterson, DVM
Dr. Peterson graduated from University of Minnesota in 1969, later married his wife, Myrene, and served two years as an Army Captain in the Veterinary Corps during the Vietnam War. He returned to North Dakota to practice Veterinary Medicine as a civilian and ultimately open his own practice in 1975. Dr. Peterson has over 37 years of experience treating large and small animals and strongly believes in the importance of customer service. His three daughters grew up being actively involved in the "mom & pop" style clinic. When Dr. Peterson is not at the Vet clinic, he is usually working on his farm tending the sheep or spending time with his family, especially his grandsons.
