HISTORY
Breton Veterinary
Hospital opened its doors on August 28, 1990, under the direction
of Dr. Lynn Fenwick. The hospital was named after her treasured
Cocker Spaniel "Breton"' who had been named after Breton Bay
in Leonardtown. Breton Veterinary Hospital occupied rented space until July 1991 when we moved to our new state of the art facility. A lot of time was spent in planning the new facility to make it as accommodating as possible for our clients and patients. Some new additions to help make your wait more comfortable are our cat gazebo; which helps separated our feline and canine friends, a playhouse for the children and a refreshment area. The hospital contains a full service laboratory and pharmacy as well as radiology, surgical and dental suites. We have a large treatment area and five state of the art exam rooms. Most diagnostic and treatment procedures can be handled within the hospital. Evening, weekend, and holiday emergencies are handled by the Southern Maryland Referral and Emergency Service, Inc. in Waldorf. Breton Veterinary Hospital quickly grew as did our reputation based on the sound veterinary care provided by our caring staff. In July 2003, Dr. Sarah K. Bates joined the practice.
