Our History
Dr. Ulhorn and "Albert"
The Hermann Veterinary Clinic was opened for business in 1955 by Dr. Leo Rohlfing. The clinic was originally located at 4th and Schiller, then on 18th Street in Hermann. It was moved to the current location in 1971. Dr. Strubberg purchased the clinic from Dr. Rohlfing in 1990. For many years the focus of the Hermann Veterinary Clinic, like so many other rural practices, was mainly on food animal and equine medicine.
Today our practice is considered a “mixed-animal” clinic, meaning that we see both large and small animals.
As times have changed, so has the public’s perception of animals. We recognize many dogs and cats are now considered part of the family and striving for optimal health to increase life-span and quality of life is very important to you, their owner. There has been much advancement in animal agriculture; we strive to remain on the forefront of industry changes and improvements to best serve our producers. Both small and large animal owners demand a higher level of medical care than ever before. To meet those needs, the Hermann Veterinary Clinic is always working to improve the quality of care our clients have come to expect for their animals. Veterinary medicine continues to evolve to meet the demands of animal owners; our doctors attend multiple professional conferences and training seminars each year to keep their knowledge and training cutting-edge.
In order to continue to offer the highest quality care possible, the small animal portion of the Hermann Veterinary Clinic recently underwent a major renovation and expansion. The project nearly tripled the amount of floor space dedicated to small animal medicine. The surgery room was expanded and additional monitoring equipment was added. A new kennel and a cat boarding suite were added, as well as a new ADA-compliant restroom, reception area and check out desk, pharmacy area, two new exam rooms, and treatment area. We also upgraded to a new state-of-the-art, on-site diagnostic laboratory for both large and small animal needs.
