Itivet Veterinary Clinic Korat: Pet Food on Yommarat Road

They are located near Bule Saloon, or in front of Ra Bieng Gao (a restaurant) on Yommarat road.

Inside, they sell pet food and several accessories. They price is cheaper than Klang Plaza or the Mall. (But Makro is the best!).

The place is really clean. They have young staff and they will take care of your animal. You can leave your animal there, for a small fee, if you need the animal to recover after an operation or something else.
