Overview

A full service veterinary hospital providing information, products and services to optimize the health of your pet

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
