Our Story

LaPorte Animal Hospital was purchased by Jeffrey A. Weitzel, DVM in November, 2015. The practice was purchased from Dr. Ray Houin, who practiced at the hospital for approximately forty years. Since 2015, Dr. Weitzel has worked tirelessly on making LaPorte Animal Hospital a staple of LaPorte County with a high standard of care and a family atmosphere. In 2019, Dr. Weitzel partnered with a recent Purdue University Graduate, Twila Canion DVM. Dr. Canion did her externship with Dr. Weitzel and Weitzel Veterinary Services. She is now our primary veterinarian.
