Weird name, right? Take a look at this message from Dr. Begemann about the deeply personal meaning of the name of our hospital:

“The process in naming your business is harder than one would expect. How do you name something in a way to properly convey the message you want the world to associate with you and your brand? After much deliberation and many ideas that just didn’t seem to quite fit, I chose Okoboji. The name ‘Okoboji’ is one not many would recognize; it stems from an area in northern Iowa where my grandparents grew up as well as the kennel name they chose to associate with the Great Danes they raised. My grandmother always told me that the word means ‘a place of peace and rest’ and I truly hope that Okoboji Veterinary Hospital can be exactly that for any pet owners that need guidance in any aspect of their pets’ lives, whether in good health or in illness or injury. The name Okoboji to me means family and I hope that it can mean that for you as well.”
