🐾 Then & Now: Growing Through the Years 🐾
As part of our 65th-anniversary Then & Now series, we’re reflecting on the many changes and renovations Napanee Veterinary Hospital has undergone over the years.
The most significant transformation came in 2010 under the ownership of Dr. Ewen Ferguson and Dr. Rob Walsh, who purchased the practice from Dr. Wayne Robison in 2007. During those years, the practice primarily continued as a small animal and bovine practice, serving both pets and the agricultural community throughout our area.
The 2010 renovation was a complete rebuild and modernization of the hospital inside and out, allowing the practice to continue growing while providing progressive veterinary medicine and compassionate care to more patients and clients in our community.
We are grateful to Dr. Ewen Ferguson and Dr. Rob Walsh for their vision, years of leadership, dedication, and commitment to our patients, clients, team, and community. Their support, guidance, and contributions helped shape Napanee Veterinary Hospital into the wonderful practice it is today.
Following his retirement, Dr. Ferguson continues to be remembered fondly by clients, colleagues, and the community for his years of service and dedication to veterinary medicine. Dr. Rob Walsh can still be found throughout the countryside continuing his work in bovine medicine and serving the agricultural community he has cared for over many years.
Today, while our hospital has evolved and our focus has shifted to small animal care, the same commitment to compassionate veterinary medicine continues to guide us every day.
Do you have memories from these years or photos of the hospital through its many changes? We would love to see them shared in the comments!
