The founder of Southtowns Animal Hospital was Dr. L.W. Lindsey. An article commemorating its founding was published in the Hamburg Sun on 06/20/1946. Dr. Lindsay practiced out of a house that stood in front of where the current Souththowns Animal Hospital is located. The practice was founded on personal one on one attention. In the 1970's, Dr. Lindsay retired and sold the practice to Dr. Robert Hirt, who built the first version of the current building while practicing out of the same house in front.
Dr. Hirt published a book, "Reflections: The Stories and Life of a Country Vet." In 1995, upon his retirement, the practice was purchased by Dr. Theodore Winkle (The Ohio State University) who became just the third owner in 50 years. Dr Kim Jacobi St. George University, joined the practice a year later, and became the fourth owner on 09/03/2010.
The practice continues to serve its community from the same location established by Dr. Lindsey, and continues to serve the same core values of one on one attention in fulfilling its Mission Statement: To evolve and grow our ability to help animals with the advancements of veterinary medicine, communication, and compassion.

Unlike human hospitals, we do not receive income from grants, fund drives, or government programs like Medicaid or Medicare.
In order to keep operating costs as low as possible and given that the hospital does not receive any funding outside that of the fees we collect for our services, Southtowns Animal Hospital is not able to extend credit.
The doctors and staff make every effort to estimate the cost of planned treatment before providing services and to advise you of your options.

Recently my beloved Barley came down with vertigo making him unable to stand without help.
As he weighed almost 100lbs, he was in need of nursing care.
Dr. Jacobi and her dedicated staff made his more than 3 week stay more like a spa visit than a hospital one.
I felt secure in the unparalleled care shown to my sweet boy.
As he was recovering, he aspirated vomit into his lungs which, in spite of Dr. Jacobi's constant care ended his life.
Again, the doctor made this trying moment easier for me by her genuine kindness.

The road to a happy and long life for any pet begins with wellness and preventive care.
The veterinarians and staff are here to help you provide the best health care for your pet through every age and stage of development.
Animals grow and age at a much different rate than humans, so a pet's yearly or biannual wellness visit allows our team of veterinarians to identify any potential problems or illness at an early stage, when they are most treatable.
We care for animals of all ages, from puppies and kittens to geriatric adults.
