The Animal Hospital at the Crossroads in Phillipsburg and in Plainville stopped offering general appointments and large animal services on May 9 and 23.
Emergency services at both clinics ended on May 5, according to a Facebook post by The Animal Hospital.
Dr. Lauren Mack will step back from full-time practice and provide only limited, consultative services going forward. The clinics are for sale to new owners.
Mack said in the social media post that it is time to prioritize family as veterinary challenges continue in the region.
"The demand of veterinary practice in a rural area is all-consuming and although I have taken great pride in this journey, it is simply not sustainable," Mack said.
