The Veterinary Hospital

The Veterinary Hospital We care about pets and their people too. Our family owned practice has been serving the Eugene community since 1962.

Our founder, Dr. Stan Blinkhorn, set out to create a place where pets and their people were treated with respect, honesty and dedication. His business partner, and our current owner, Dr. Nancy Johnson is honored to carry that vision to today. While some things might have changed, (we have an app now!) these core principals will always remain our first priority. Our team is knowledgeable, compassio

nate and excited to help your pet live a happy, healthy life. Ever single person who wears our snazzy green uniforms carries the same passion for excellent veterinary medicine. In addition to offering 'traditional' veterinary services, we go beyond to offer you alternative options like acupuncture, Chinese medicine and stem cell therapy. Our commitment to excellence can be seen from our separate dog and cat waiting rooms, to our high-grade anesthetic, another way we keep our surgeries as safe as possible.

I want to hijack this post to say it Hope's last week with us. She is leaving Oregon to pursue her graduate degree. Working with her for these past four years has been an immense pleasure. She has poured her heart into caring for your pets. Watching her skills and confidence grown has been wonderful to see. Bon voyage, Hope! Please come back and visit.
