Established as Strain Veterinary Clinic in 1983 as a mixed animal practice, the hospital became Claiborne Hill Veterinary Hospital soon after co-owner Dr. Mike Strain was elected the state representative for his district. At that time the practice began to concentrate on small animals, primarily dogs and cats.
Today, Claiborne Hill Veterinary Hospital has two full time veterinarians - Dr. Susan Strain and Dr. Tommi Pugh. While still co-owner of the practice, Dr. Mike Strain is currently serving as the Louisiana State Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry. Dr. Tommi has been with the practice for over 23 years.
All three doctors maintain a minimum of 20 hours of continuing education each year. In doing so, they are able to keep up with the newest and most complete information about pet health care.
2012 Annual Heartworm Drive

Halloween
Claiborne Hill Veterinary Hospital hosted its 1st Annual Halloween Costume Contest on Monday, October 31, 2011. Owners were invited to bring their costumed pets between 8 am and 4 pm for photos and homemade pet treats baked by Dr. Susan Strain were enjoyed by all. "Dozer" and "Francy Lynn" Parden, "Millie" and "Baxter" Fricken, "Jelly" Brooks, CHVH's own "Lucy" shined in their adorable costumes.
As "Jelly" belongs to CHVH Veterinary Assistant Lindsey Brooks, and "Lucy" thinks she "owns" the hospital, the judges had to choose between the Parden and the Fricken pets. It was really too hard to choose, so all four dogs were declared winners! Check out the photos and see for yourself! We hope that next year we will see many more amazing costumed pets!!
Look for us on facebook today.
Claiborne Hill Veterinary Hospital recently celebrated Technician Week with the staff. Various muffins, cookies, and other treats were enjoyed during the week, ending with an Ice Cream Sundae party on Friday. We love our staff!!
