Dr. Harvey Partridge built the St.Petersburg veterinary hospital in 1978, and in 1995, he sold the practice to a corporation of veterinary hospitals named VCA (Veterinary Centers of America). Dr. Partridge left the practice in 2003. Dr. David Landers began working at Partridge Animal Hospital in St. Petersburg in 2007, and he purchased the practice from Dr. Partridge in 2010. We are a full service veterinary medical facility, and see mostly dogs and cats with the occasional pocket pet and rabbit. The doctors enjoy working up challenging cases by utilizing the digital x-ray, ultrasound, brand new in-house lab machines, and endoscopy to come up with a diagnosis and then figure out the best way to treat it. Our veterinary hospital is committed to providing excellent preventative health care of our patients.
