About
The idea of Canal Veterinary Hospital began in 1978 when Dr. Richard L. Baker wanted to bring veterinary service to the community of Denair, California. Four years later, Richard was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer. Richard's brother, Dr. Gary Baker, came alongside him to help further establish the hospital. The practice continued to grow throughout the next few years, which led to the grand opening of Canal Veterinary Hospital in 1986. Dr. Debra Tilson St. Louis (now a mother of 5 residing in Colorado), Dr. Craig Brooks (now the owner of Taylor Veterinary Hospital), and Dr. Deron Larsson were hired throughout the growth of the practice.
Canal Veterinary Hospital was built through loss and trials, upon the legacy of helping a brother in need, while further appreciating the role our own pets have had in comforting us as well. We place high value on nurturing and promoting Gods' purposes for the human-animal bond. He has consistently used domestic animals throughout history to be humankind's "best friend."
At Canal Veterinary Hospital, we consider ourselves a "family practice" for companion pets; hence our motto "serving pets and their family." Dr. Heather Deleon, who previously worked for us as a kennel/veterinary assistant in High School, joined our team in 2017. Her exceptional clinical and people skills complement Dr. Larsson's 30 plus years of veterinary experience to significantly enhance our legacy of compassionate care. Please let us come along side you as you care for your treasured gift from God.

5 stars Genevieve C Featured review
Canal Veterinary Clinic is wonderful the Dr. & Staff go above and beyond.
I am so happy to find a Dr.s office for my pups that isn’t just about the money. They care and that shows in every aspect of the facility. The Dr. is wonderful and explains everything. He provided several solutions for my pups issue. What really stood out was the most expensive solution wasn’t the first he suggested we try.
I have been to many vets, and I can say this will be my pups forever veterinary.
Thank you for letting us know how we did. We're so thrilled that you've trusted us to care for your little lady. We look forward to caring for her for many years to come!
5 stars Kevin B Customer since 2003
I felt like I was at a small town veterinarian where the vet knew their clients. Not just a number in a busy clinic.
Thank you for your review! We are so appreciative to hear that you know how much we care. It was great to meet your newest addition and can't wait to watch him grow!
