The Stevens Square Development Committee, after completing a commercial needs study, identified the lack of veterinary services in the neighborhood. Many residents of this area, which is located just south of downtown Minneapolis, rely on public transportation and need a local veterinary clinic within walking distance as well as a pet food and supply site.
Some of the committee members approached their own veterinarian, Minnehaha Animal Hospital (MAH) in south Minneapolis, to bring these much-needed services to the neighborhood. Dr. Joyce Tesarek, the owner of Minnehaha Animal Hospital at the time, worked with the committee and Steve Gallagher, the Stevens Square Executive Director, and Pet Doctors came to be.
In 2010, Pet Doctors settled on a site on Nicollet and Franklin Avenues, technically in the Whittier neighborhood, but our convenient location allows us to serve downtown Minneapolis, as well as the Loring, Stevens Square, and Whittier communities.
