In 1953, Dr. Lanier Shuler, an Auburn graduate, initiated our family's veterinary legacy by opening a clinic in St. George, SC, catering to animals of all sizes. His son, Glenn Shuler, later joined the practice in 1984 after graduating from Georgia. Dr. J.O. Shuler, a Mt. Pleasant local and fellow Georgia graduate, established the town's first full-time veterinary hospital, Mt. Pleasant Animal Hospital, in 1959. J.O. was an innovator, introducing the area's first X-ray machine, which served both people and pets in emergencies. In 1968, Kenneth (K.C.) Shuler, another Georgia graduate, and J.O.'s nephew joined the practice. K.C. expanded our presence by creating the Shuler Veterinary Clinic in Mt. Pleasant in 1992. This move proved fortuitous, as both his sons, Kenneth Jr. and Kevin, along with their wives, became veterinarians.

 

Following Dr. K.C. Shuler's retirement in 2005, Drs. Kevin and Laura, both graduates of Tuskegee University, assumed leadership of both Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital and Shuler Veterinary Clinic. In the spring of 2005, Dr. Marian Shuler Holladay, a Georgia graduate and cousin, joined to oversee Shuler Veterinary Clinic. Our commitment to expansion persisted, leading to the opening of the new Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital in 2006, adjacent to the original location.

 

As our practices flourish, we eagerly welcome additional veterinarians into our family who share our values and dedication to serving our community.

 

Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital is a thriving veterinary clinic dedicated to providing top-notch care for pets in the Mount Pleasant community and surrounding areas.

The inception of Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital was born out of a shared passion for animals and a deep commitment to their welfare. Our founders, a team of experienced veterinarians and animal enthusiasts, recognized the need for a modern, well-equipped veterinary facility in the Mount Pleasant area that prioritized not only medical excellence but also client education and community engagement. They saw an opportunity to create a practice that would serve as a trusted partner to pet owners, guiding them through the various stages of their pets' lives with expert care and unwavering support. Today, our clinic continues to thrive, driven by our founders' vision and dedication to the well-being of the pets and families we serve.

 

What sets Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital apart from the rest is our remarkable journey of growth and evolution.

First and foremost, we encourage you to establish a trusting and enduring relationship with your veterinarian. Think of your veterinarian as a family vet, someone intimately acquainted with your pet's needs, preferences, and unique health history. This enduring connection allows us to offer truly personalized care, tailoring our services to meet the specific requirements of your pet. Effective communication and connection with your veterinarian are paramount. Open and honest dialogue ensures that your pet receives the best possible care. Share any concerns, observations, or questions you may have about your pet's health without hesitation. Your veterinarian serves not just as a healthcare provider but also as an educator and advocate for your pet's well-being.
