Animal Services
A building that is easy to clean and easy for clients to find.
Orton Companies builds animal-services buildings in Minnesota for veterinary clinics, boarding, grooming, and related care businesses. We design commercial post-frame and conventional buildings with sanitation, sound, and client circulation in mind.
Who we build this for
Veterinarians, boarding operators, and groomers opening a new location or leaving a leased space that was never designed for animals.
What we offer
- Washable finishes and wet-area detailing
- Separation of animals, staff, and waiting clients
- HVAC and odor strategies
- Kennel, clinic, and retail zoning
- Durable floors and doors
- Parking and after-hours drop-off planning
How we build it
We plan around sanitation and noise first, then wrap a commercial envelope that still looks like a professional clinic from the street.
The process
01
Your site and how you will use it
Orton Companies walks the property, maps access, drainage, and utilities, and locks how you will use the building so it fits Minnesota code and your daily work.
02
Design and materials
We produce a clear layout, how the building will look from the street, and a steel-and-timber package sized for snow load, wind, and the way you will actually use the space.
03
Construction
A licensed crew sets posts or frame, encloses the shell, and finishes doors, roof, and interiors on a schedule built for Minnesota seasons.
04
Walkthrough
You walk the finished building with us, we close the punch list, and you get a space ready for equipment, animals, customers, or living — from the same team that designed it.
Built for Minnesota
Animal-services buildings by Orton Companies serve Minnesota towns and Twin Cities suburbs, including Sherburne, Wright, Stearns, and Hennepin counties in Minnesota.
Questions people ask
Can Orton Companies build a veterinary or boarding facility in Minnesota?
Yes. Orton Companies constructs animal-services buildings — clinics, boarding, and grooming — across Minnesota.
Do you handle clinic-specific plumbing and drains?
We coordinate wet rooms, drains, and finishes with your designer or vendor so the building supports daily sanitation.
Can the building look residential on a small-town street?
Yes. Elevations can read like a professional office rather than a warehouse.
Do you build additions onto existing clinics?
Often yes. We regularly expand or renovate animal-care buildings as caseloads grow.
