Bradenton Veterinary Hospital was founded in 1947 by Dr. Walter France as Bradenton Small Animal Hospital. Dr. France, who was a World War I veteran, started the practice near the close of the second war to end all wars. Initially Bradenton Small Animal Hospital was a mixed animal practice. Dr. France sold the practice to Dr. Clair Butler in 1957. Dr. Butler steered the practice for the next 54 years! Later in his career, Dr. Butler saw a growing need to care for pets. After limiting the practice to pet care, he quickly needed to add an addition to the building. Under Dr. Butler’s guidance Bradenton Small Animal Hospital became one of the busiest practices in the Bradenton area. In 2011 he sold the practice to Dr. Laurel Logas. Dr. Logas modernized the medical care introducing digital full body and digital dental radiology (x-ray), ultrasound, incorporating pain management, adding a modern laboratory and computers to the practice. She brought modern dentistry to the practice. Dr. Logas changed the name to Bradenton Veterinary Hospital (BVH) in 2011 with the understanding that most people who love pets no longer called them animals. Instead, they consider pets as part of their family. Dr. Logas rehabbed the original facility while preparing to build a new larger one to better serve pets and their owners. In July 2014 Dr. Logas broke ground on the new facility. On December 21, 2015 the practice moved into a new 8,700 square foot facility. We have a two station surgery suite and a dedicated dental suite. We have a larger waiting area to keep clients comfortable and six exam rooms. Because we usually have three or four doctors working each day, the wait times for walk-ins have been greatly reduced from the days when Dr. Butler owned the practice. In 2014 Dr. Logas directed the practice to begin seeing appointments. Under Dr. Logas' guidance the practice has grown from two veterinarians to four
