For over 40 years, Nonantum Veterinary Clinic has proudly served Landenberg and the surrounding tri-state region with care that feels like home.
Nonantum (Non-an’-tum) is an Algonquin Native American word that means “blessing” or “prayer.” Nonantum Veterinary Clinic had its humble beginnings in 1983 when Dr. Debby Roberts began practicing out of her home on Nonantum Farm. The practice soon needed more space, and a chicken house was converted. In 1990, Dr. Chris Manning joined Nonantum and later became Dr. Roberts’ business partner in 2001. Over the years, Nonantum Veterinary Clinic has added talented doctors and staff to accommodate the community’s growing need for veterinary services. In 2008, the practice moved to a renovated barn on the same property.
