Elgin Animal Hospital

Elgin Animal Hospital The Elgin Animal Hospital is a small animal veterinary hospital located in St. Thomas, Ontario. Thomas (across the road from its current location).

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.

We’re excited to announce the Canadian Animal Blood Bank will be hosting another Blood Donor Clinic on December 20th! This means we will need some help from our furry friends who fit the eligibility and are willing to step up and save other dogs across Canada! 🩸

Certain breeds are universal donors, and there’s a high need for NEGATIVE blood types. If your dog qualifies, consider signing them up! You can stop by our clinic to pick up a form and get more information.

Donating is quick, safe, and you can stay with your dog during the process. One donation can save up to THREE dogs! 🐕❤️
