Overview

Providing Exceptional Care for you and your pets!

Kenneth Shuler, Jr comes from a long line of expert veterinarians. Dr. Lanier Shuler founded the practice in 1953, providing services for small and large animals in St. George, SC. His son Glenn joined him in practice after graduating from Georgia in 1984. Dr. J.O. Shuler, Glenn's uncle, opened the first full-time veterinary hospital in Mt. Pleasant in 1959 and had the first X-Ray machine in the area. Kenneth and Heather Shuler bought and expanded Santee Animal Hospital in 2002. They gave it the rustic red barn color to help them remember their farming background
