Destrehan Animal Hospital was established in 1989 by Dr. Jack A Moreau. The practice was opened up in the small town of Destrehan, La. It consists of care for small animals such as dogs and cats with occasional rabbits and guinea pigs. The practice started out really small consisting of Dr. Moreau, one receptionist, and two technicians. There was no in-house technology at all. The client's info and patient info were written on small blue cards and stored in a file cabinet. The business has grown tremendously throughout the years. Destrehan Animal Hospital serves to care for animals throughout St. Charles parish on the east bank and west bank, extended throughout other parishes. Today having served 32 years of animal care, the practice staff has grown tremendously. Dr. Moreau has since retired and Dr. Alexandra Carter has stepped into his shoes. This team works hard together to make a happy, healthy work environment. The clientele has grown phenomenally since St. Charles has become such a big community over the years, Hurricane Katrina, and the Corona pandemic. Everyone works hard to make the clients and their pets leave happy and want to tell others about us
