What Eastside Animal Hospital does

Eastside Animal Hospital is an independently owned, AAHA-accredited full-service veterinary hospital operating from a single 12,000-square-foot facility at 1623 E 10th Street in Jeffersonville, Indiana, serving pet owners across Southern Indiana and Central Kentucky. Founded in 1971 by Dr. James E. Howard on a site previously operated by Dr. Francis Roll, the practice is now staffed by seven veterinarians supported by practice management, office, and patient-care personnel (headcount 51-100). Service lines span wellness care, staged vaccinations, digital radiography, ultrasound, laser and conventional surgery, dental care, urgent and emergency care, integrative medicine (acupuncture, Companion laser therapy, AVCA-certified chiropractic), microchipping, grooming, and pet lodging, the last offered in tiered accommodations ranging from $28 to $55 per night.

Revenue is generated through a mix of per-visit professional services fees, lodging and grooming transactions, recurring Paws4Wellness preventive-care subscriptions, and product sales through an onsite and online pharmacy stocked with Hill's Science Diet and Prescription Diet lines with home delivery. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the physical hospital, online booking through PetDesk, the PetPage mobile app for 24/7 records and prescription access, an online store at shop.eastsideanimal.com, and a temporarily suspended house-call service for established clients. CareCredit financing and direct Trupanion insurance claims processing reduce payment friction for higher-cost procedures.

The practice is AAHA-accredited continuously since 1987 (held by fewer than 15% of US animal hospitals) and Cat Friendly Practice certified, and has been voted Best Veterinarian in Clark County by the Clark County News and Tribune in 2016 and from 2020 through 2024. It is the only AAHA-accredited hospital in Floyd or Clark County, Indiana and one of six within 25 miles. Ownership remains within the Howard/Strong family legacy, with no evidence of private equity backing, corporate roll-up affiliation, or M&A activity in the available materials.
