Switzerland Animal Hospital was established in 1985 with the goal of providing the best veterinary health care to northwest St. Back then, Julington Creek Plantation primarily existed only on paper and Roberts Road was still a dirt road. In the early 90โ€™s Dr. Bredehoeft was an associate at a large veterinary hospital in Mandarin. During the following years, he worked on a part-time basis for the f

ormer owner of Switzerland โ€“ Fruit Cove Animal Hospital as it was then called. In 1999, he purchased it and renamed it Switzerland Animal Hospital. He loved the clients and patients and could not have imagined practicing veterinary medicine anywhere else. The hospital underwent a major renovation in 2001. During this time all exam rooms, waiting room, and reception area were enlarged. New floors that meet the highest standard for an animal hospital were installed. A designated pharmacy and laboratory area was created and a new state-of-the-art surgery and treatment room were added. We are extremely proud of the results and we hope that you and your furry friend will feel as comfortable here as we do. Our facility is nestled on a wooded 2 acre lot allowing your canine a secure walk on or off the leash and plenty of โ€œprivacyโ€ when the need arises.

Pet owners, it's crucial to be aware of the potential hazards of Emerald Ferns. ๐ŸŒฟ This delicate-looking plant, often used as an ornamental greenery, can be toxic to dogs, cats, and horses if ingested. Ingesting any part of the Emerald Fern plant, including its leaves and berries, can lead to various symptoms in our furry friends. These may include allergic dermatitis with repeated dermal exposure. Berry ingestion could result in gastric upset (vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea). To ensure the safety of your dogs, cats, and horses, it's essential to prevent their access to Emerald Ferns. Whether it's in your home or in outdoor spaces, make sure this plant is out of reach and opt for pet-friendly alternatives.
