About Dr. Minton

Our veterinarian, Dr. Mark Minton is a caring professional with lifelong experience appreciating animals. Growing up in rural western PA on his family's farm, he learned how important and rewarding it is to put in hard work to care for animals. With those values instilled, he began to pursue his degrees. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Penn State and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Ohio State in 2001.


Since graduating, he has lived and practiced in his home state of Western PA. Though the farm animals he grew up caring for aren't the focus of his practice, he always circles back to lessons he learned about working hard and making the wellness and comfort of the animals his focus. He enjoys meeting new clients and also takes a lot of pride and pleasure from the established clients he always looks forward to seeing.
