Our Story
Aldon S. Einoris originally started the “Animal Hospital” in the 1930s. In addition to practicing veterinary medicine, he was also a barber, and the original building housed both the barber shop and the veterinary clinic.
Bruce Hostrawser purchased the practice from Dr. Einoris in 1952 or 1953. In 1963, he had most of the original building torn down, and the current building was erected. Some of the original building still remains at the back of the clinic.
Michael Rausch started working for Dr. Hostrawser in 1975 and in 1978, purchased the business from him. Dr. Jack Opsahl worked with Dr. Rausch from 1984-1990. Dr. Opsahl returned to Animal Hospital of South Bend in 1995 and purchased the practice from Dr. Rausch in 1998. Dr. Stephenie Rensberger began working at Animal Hospital of South Bend in the spring of 2000.
To better describe our complete healthcare facility, it was decided to change the name from Animal Hospital of South Bend to Family Pet Health Center. The name was officially changed in 2004.
In 2008, Dr. Lance Huffer and Dr. Rensberger bought Family Pet Health Center and Dr. Mathew Rock came aboard full-time. In April of 2016, Dr. Huffer decided to merge Lakeville Veterinary Clinic, his practice in Lakeville, IN, with Family Pet Health Center.
In 2016, Family Pet Health Center bought the River Park Furniture Store and began renovations to turn it into a new veterinary clinic. The new building officially opened its doors in August of 2016.
