Company Summary

Dr. William Markle first broke ground for the building (using his old plow horse) in 1933. Markle Veterinary Hospital was built to be one of the largest and most modern small animal veterinary hospitals in the region. In an era still ruled by livestock production and the family farm, "Doc" Markle knew that the pet revolution was imminent and folks would be wanting help in providing better care for their dogs and cats.

We have kept up to date with an in-house Idexx Laboratory, computerized records, surgical laser, anesthesia monitoring systems, ultrasonic dental scalers, EKG, oxygen generators, K-Laser Therapy, etc. We also work with several referral hospitals and specialty veterinarians for patients with complicated conditions.
