Commonwealth Veterinary Hospital first opened its doors in 1939 under the ownership of Dr. Ronald Lombard.

1939

Dr. Lombard was a world class sled dog musher who competed yearly in Alaska with his dogs, winning the North American Championship many times. He used his winnings from these competitions to finance his education and ultimately, to open this hospital.

1977

In 1977, Dr. Lombard retired and sold the practice to Dr. Robert Denk and Dr. Edmund Prescottano. College roommates and graduates of Ohio State University’s Class of 1971, Dr. Denk and Dr. Prescottano oversaw a renovation of the hospital in 1980 and sought to continue Dr. Lombard’s tradition of excellent veterinary care.

2007

In 2007, ownership passed to Dr. Larry Hawk, who continued his predecessors’ pursuit of excellence in veterinary medicine by overseeing several new facility enhancements and numerous investments in state-of-the-art medical equipment. 

2007- Present

These facility enhancements made valuable new diagnostic and treatment tools available, including laser surgery, digital radiography, endoscopy, rhinoscopy, digital dental radiography and oral surgery. The hospital also expanded from two doctors to four, and added to its staff of qualified technicians in order to better serve our patients.
