Our Hospital's History

     Originally known as Strain Veterinary Clinic, the practice was established in 1983 when Dr. Mike Strain graduated from LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. He was joined in 1984 by his wife, Dr. Susan Searcy Strain. They maintained a mixed animal practice until Dr. Mike went into politics, serving first as a state representative for 8 years and now as the Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry. 

     Today there are three full time practicing veterinarians as well as a dedicated support staff serving the clients and their pets at Claiborne Hill Veterinary Hospital.  
     Our full service hospital continues to strive to provide the highest quality of care for our patients, offering our clients a personalized customer experience while ensuring a safe and positive workplace for our veterinary team.

March is Poison Prevention Month: 
The entire month of March is dedicated to poison prevention, and we want to bring awareness to clients about pet poisoning. Creating awareness can help prevent a serious illness or tragic event. 
4 Educational Tips for Pet Poison Prevention:
There are many foods or other household items that are regularly used by pet owners that can be very harmful to their pets. From winter weather precautions and spring cleaning prep to daily foods and household plants, we want to remind pet owners of these dangers:

• Over the counter and prescription medications
• Grapes
• Raisins
• Chocolate
• Macadamia nuts
• Garlic
• Caffeinated drinks
• Onions
• Xylitol
• Insecticides/bug sprays
• Rodenticides
• Cleaning products (bleach, window cleaners, bathroom cleaners, etc.)
• Heavy metals such as lead and zinc
• Fertilizer
• Detergents
• Antifreeze (did you know it smells sweet to your dog!)
• De-icers
• Pennies/Coins
• Plants (indoor and outdoor) such as aloe vera, ivy, jade, peace lily, elephant ear, azaleas, tulips, and more
