Located in beautiful rural Southern Utah, KVH is dedicated to the welfare of small & large animals & to showing compassion toward their human companions.

Dr. Kevin Ballard Veterinarian / Co-Owner

Dr. Kevin D. Ballard was born and raised in the breathtaking landscapes of Southern Utah, specifically in the town of Hurricane. His childhood next door to his grandparents, who always provided him with a horse to ride, cultivated a profound passion for animals and a clear vision of his future as a veterinarian. From an early age, he embraced this dream, dedicating himself to the path of veterinary medicine from middle school through his graduation from Hurricane High School in 1995. He pursued his studies at Southern Utah University from 1998 to 2002, earning a Bachelor of Science degree, before advancing to Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where he graduated in 2006. Dr. Ballard then honed his skills at Desert Pines Equine Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, from May 2006 to September 2012. During this time, he also worked part-time at the Southwest Animal Emergency Hospital in St. George, Utah, beginning in the fall of 2011, before seizing the opportunity to purchase Kanab Veterinary Hospital in August 2012. Dr. Ballard exemplifies unwavering dedication to his vocation, going above and beyond in the care of his patients and their human companions. He actively engages in community service, volunteering his time at the annual low-cost vaccination clinic organized by the Best Friends Animal Society. He can often be seen enjoying local traditions, driving a team of horses and wagon during the Western Legends Round-Up event and participating in the July Fourth and Pioneer Day parades. Alongside his wife, Ann, Dr. Ballard celebrates life as proud parents of eleven children. Together, they relish outdoor pursuits such as horseback riding, wagon driving, camping, hunting, fishing, and ranching. His deep love for nature and animals has been shaped by the values instilled by his parents and grandparents. Dr. Ballard's genuine commitment to service shines through his desire to help others, reflecting his profound attachment to Kanab and his passion for serving the animals and people of Southern Utah.

🐾 Celebrating the Soul of Veterinary Medicine 🐾
During Veterinary Technician Week, October 18–24, we are proud to celebrate the remarkable veterinary technicians whose endless compassion, expert care and steady dedication touch every part of our hospital.

They comfort nervous patients, monitor vital signs, assist with treatments and surgery, care for animals through recovery, support worried families and quietly handle countless essential tasks—often behind the scenes. Their skill, patience and reassuring presence help each animal entrusted to us receive thoughtful, compassionate care.

To our wonderful vet techs: Kanab Veterinary Hospital deeply appreciates the hard work that is seen, the work that often goes unseen and the heart you bring to every patient, every day. You truly are the soul of veterinary medicine, and we are so grateful for all that you do. 💙🐾

Please join us in celebrating by sharing a favorite story about a member of our caring team—whether a veterinary technician, customer service representative or professional groomer—who made a difference for you or your animal.

Happy Veterinary Technician Week!

🐾 Save 10% on Senior Wellness Care—Book Your November Appointment Now! 🐾

HONORING OUR SENIOR ANIMALS
During the month of November, Kanab Veterinary Hospital is offering 10% off senior wellness exams and blood tests for cats and dogs aged 7 years and older and horses age 17 years and older. Book your November appointment now by calling our team (435) 644-2400.

There is something especially dear about an older animal—from the gray-muzzled dog resting beside you and the barn cat who knows every sunny window to the old horse waiting at the gate. Senior animals may slow down, but with thoughtful care they can continue to enjoy comfortable, happy, dignified lives.

Age-related changes can be easy to miss. Watch for difficulty rising, reluctance to jump, weight or appetite changes, increased thirst, bad breath, new lumps, coughing, confusion, lameness, dental problems, or trouble competing for feed. These signs should not simply be dismissed as “old age.”

Regular veterinary exams and screening blood work can help identify concerns early, when they may be easier to manage.

Small adjustments can make a big difference: provide soft bedding, non-slip surfaces, suitable exercise, good nutrition, dental and hoof care, easy access to fresh water, protection from harsh weather, and a quiet opportunity to eat without competition.

Always ask your veterinarian before giving supplements or medications—human pain medicines can be dangerous or even fatal to animals.

Give your senior companion the gift of proactive care. Book your November appointment now by calling Kanab Veterinary Hospital at 435-644-2400, and help make the golden years as healthy and comfortable as possible. ❤️
