Powell Veterinary Center

Powell Veterinary Center is the oldest veterinary clinic in the city still located at its original site.

The clinic was built by Dr. Kreitzer in 1929, and served as both his residence and clinic.

Its original name was Canine Clinic and Hospital as it reflected the only species considered to be a valuable enough pet to warrant spending money on.

Until that era the vast majority of veterinarians were trained to treat only the livestock and working animals of the time.

Some of our clients and their families still tell us stories of having to ring the doorbell to enter and of being seated in Dr. Kreitzer’s living room until he was ready to see their pet.

The goal of Powell Veterinary Center is to provide friendly, compassionate care in a clean, family-like setting.

Our focus is the celebration of the human/pet bond and all the joy it brings to life.

We know that your pets are part of your family, so we treat them like they are part of ours!
