Dr. Larry Hoscheit, shown in the photo with the rest of his staff at the Val Caron Animal Hospital on Hwy. 69N in Val Caron, has been providing professional healthcare for small animal pets in and around Valley East since 1988. The staff members include, from the left: Christine Wissell (Animal Health Technician), Ellen Hoscheit (Bookkeeper), Dr. Hoscheit; Louise Philion (Animal Health Technician) and Lynne Methe (Receptionist).

Dr. Hoscheit was raised on the Canadian Prairies, but upon graduation he took up brief posts in Espanola and Sudbury before he purchased the Val Caron Animal Hospital. Dr. Hoscheit and his wife have been members of the community ever since and the Val Caron Animal Hospital has developed a reputation for animal health care and service.

The Val Caron Animal Hospital provides a range of medical and surgical services including vaccinations, spays, neuters, examinations, dentistry’s, bone, joint, and soft tissue surgery, radiographs (X-rays), blood work, emergency services, parasite control, client education, nutritional consultation, prescription diets, behavioural consults and referrals to specialists.

“Regular vaccinations and veterinary care are important for your pet’s health and well-being,” explains Dr. Hoscheit. "Many pets are considered and treated as members of the family, just like a child. Research is now showing that pets can help people live a happier, healthier and longer life."
