Our Story

Kittanning Veterinary Hospital was established in 1963 by Dr. Robert Lash in his own home. Dr. Lash was the sole veterinarian until 1970, when he hired his first partner, Dr. Gabriel Durkac. Together, they offered small and large animal veterinary medical services for Kittanning and the surrounding area. The practice grew rapidly, requiring the construction of our current hospital building, the Animal Medical Pavilion, in 1979-1980. The building's design earned the Hospital Design of the Year award from Veterinary Economics magazine in 1980!

Although veterinary medicine has evolved since 1963, our practice has kept pace by continuously educating ourselves and expanding our services. Our philosophy remains unchanged - to provide comprehensive, high-quality veterinary care with an emphasis on exceptional client service and timely patient care.
