(37)

The Elgin Veterinary Clinic was started in 1964 by two veterinarians, Dr. Sven Meeuwisse and Dr. Harry Short. It was a mixed animal practice dealing mainly with farm animals, and was located at 9830 Sunset Road, St. Dr. Steve Stewart joined the practice in 1975. In 1976, the three veterinarians opened a second clinic, the Talbot Animal Clinic, and Dr. Stewart became the principle veterinarian at t

he second clinic. The Talbot Animal Clinic was (and still is) located downtown St. Thomas, and is a small animal veterinary clinic. Dr. Paul Headly was the next veterinarian to join the clinics and became a partner when Dr. Meeuwisse retired from practice. Dr. Allan House joined the team in 1983, and became a partner when Dr. Short retired. During the late 70′s and into the 80′s, the Elgin Veterinary Clinic’s small animal practice grew rapidly, and it was decided that a new facility was needed. A new, larger, and more modern facility was built in 1988 – 1989 at 9789 Sunset Road, St. Thomas, and the clinic was renamed the Elgin Animal Hospital. Dr. Adam Mahovlich started practicing veterinary medicine with the Elgin Animal Hospital / Talbot Animal Clinic (Collectively known as the Elgin Veterinary Clinics) in 2004 and became a partner in 2005 when Dr. Headly retired. In 2009 the Elgin Animal Hospital became an exclusively small animal practice and since then, the two clinics have focused on providing the most up to date, high quality care for their patients.

Our beloved clinic cat, Bubbles, has been the heart and soul of our team, serving as our supervisor for many wonderful years.

While we'll miss her presence around the clinic, we're happy to share that she'll be spending her retirement in a cozy home with a loving family. Thank you for all the purrs and cuddles, Bubbles—you’ve more than earned this next chapter! 🐾❤️

Summer safety tip for dog parents! Leaving a dog in a car during the summer can be extremely dangerous and even deadly. The temperature inside a parked car can quickly rise to dangerous levels, even with the windows cracked. Dogs can suffer from heatstroke, which can cause brain damage, organ failure, and even death. It's important to never leave a dog in a car during hot weather, even for a short period of time. . . . #vetmed #stthomas #elgin #elginanimalhospital #petcare #pethealth #summer #summerfun #petsafety #SummerSafety #petsafetytips #veterinarian

It is important to remember to give us at least 48 hours to refill your pet's prescription. This allows us enough time to process and prepare the medication. It is recommended that you have at least a few days of medication left when you request a refill. . . . #vetmed #stthomas #elgin #elginanimalhospital #petcare #veterinaryclinic #pethealth #veterinarymedicine #petcareservices

Our Story

The Elgin Veterinary Clinic was started in 1964 by two veterinarians, Dr. Sven Meeuwisse and Dr. Harry Short. It was a mixed animal practice dealing mainly with farm animals, and was located at 9830 Sunset Road, St. Thomas (across the road from its current location). Dr. Steve Stewart joined the practice in 1975. In 1976, the three veterinarians opened a second clinic, the Talbot Animal Clinic, and Dr. Stewart became the principle veterinarian at the second clinic. The Talbot Animal Clinic was (and still is) located downtown St. Thomas, and is a small animal veterinary clinic. Dr. Paul Hedley was the next veterinarian to join the clinics and became a partner when Dr. Meeuwisse retired from practice. Dr. Allan House joined the team in 1983, and became a partner when Dr. Short retired. During the late 70′s and into the 80′s, the Elgin Veterinary Clinic’s small animal practice grew rapidly, and it was decided that a new facility was needed.
