Company Profile
Samford Valley Veterinary Hospital
Company Overview
We are a proud privately owned mixed veterinary practice that has been in our beautiful Samford Valley for over 40 years. We are ingrained in our community and their animals - and we simply wouldn't have it any other way.
Our large animal and small animal teams runs separately - separate vets, rosters and staff, and we have separate large and small animal hospitals. Dr Leigh Hanlon heads the Small Animal Division, and Dr Judith Law the Large Animal Division.
Since 1974, our mission is to provide exceptional veterinary care to all animals. It doesn’t matter how large or small. If we can help, we will.
Positions in our practice are tightly held, and our team really do make a difference in the lives of our loving, close-knit family community.
Company History
Samford Valley Veterinary Hospital was started by Brian and Christeen Sheahan in 1974. Back then Samford Valley was still very rural, comprising mostly dairy farms that had been operating in this area for generations. After nearly 20 years of very hard work, Brian and Christeen had grown the Practice from a one man, one phone business into a multi-person small and large animal Practice.
Leigh Hanlon in 1990 and Judy Law in 1992 joined Brian and, over the ensuing 25 years, together developed the hospital into a modern, continually evolving Practice, providing a very broad range of services to the pets, horses and farm animals within this beautiful Valley.
We now have 45 people in our team - and are open 7 days a week.
