Yarmouth Veterinary Center

Louise LeBoeuf and Peter Smith started Yarmouth Veterinary Center in 1986.

For the first six months the practice was housecalls-only, while they lived in the 1826 house on the corner of Bridge and Willow Streets in Yarmouth and converted the attached dirt-floor shed into a cozy three-and-a-half room hospital.

The x-ray machine was in their living room.

A year later Louise and Peter moved out to allow their practice to take over the whole house.

A couple of years after that they renovated a little old cape on the other side of Willow Street, turning it into a grooming salon and boarding kennel.

In the summer of 2000 they completed construction of the present-day Yarmouth Veterinary Center, on the site of their former Willow Street boarding/grooming facility, across from the beloved antique house that served them so well for so many years.

YVC is now housed in a facility designed, constructed and equipped to allow them, and their wonderful associate veterinarians and staff, to provide the best veterinary care possible for their client's pets.

The x-ray machine is no longer in their living room, but their practice is still home to them, and their clients and patients are the most welcome of guests.
