(Ripley County, Ind.) - Laughery Valley Veterinary Hospital was founded by Dr. Harley Robinson in 1979. After graduating from Dillsboro High School, Indiana Central College and Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, he saw a need for veterinary services in southern Ripley County and western Dearborn County.

Starting a veterinary hospital or any business from scratch is a daunting task. The animal owning people of this area made the project successful. For decades they have shown their appreciation of good vet care for their animals.

For the past 45 years the veterinarians, technicians and staff have been providing quality medical and surgical services to the animals in the surrounding area. In previous years, livestock as well as pets were cared for. Today, the hospital focuses on dogs and cats only. Dr. Robinson continues to work part time at the clinic. He has been blessed with many dedicated staff members over the years. Our team of doctors is rounded out by Dr Kelli Cobler, Dr Justine Yatsko and Dr Debbie Kemper for a combined total of 61 years of professional experience.

Dr. Robinson and staff would like to thank the Ripley County Chamber of Commerce for selecting Laughery Valley Veterinary Hospital as the Business of the Month. The many services provided at LVVH may be found at www.laugheryvalleyvet.com.
