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.

A blood donation may only take a few moments, but its impact can last a lifetime.

Today, on World Blood Donor Day, we're honoring the incredible dogs and cats whose donations help save the lives of pets facing emergencies, illness, and surgery. Their quiet act of generosity gives families more time, more memories, and more moments with the companions they love most.

To every donor pet and their devoted owners—thank you for helping make miracles possible. 🐾🩸❤️

That's why we're proud to participate in a Pet Blood Donor Clinic on July 16th. We're always happy to answer questions about the donation process. Contact us to learn more!
