About Us
Pondview Veterinary Clinic was founded in June of 1990 by Dr. Patrick Dougherty. His passion for veterinary medicine goes without saying. Being a native of Michigan, Dr. Pat decided to retire to the Petosky area and sold Pondview to Dr. Tasha Small in July of 2018. Dr. Tasha had been working for Dr. Pat for nearly seven years before purchasing the clinic. She hopes to continue the great medicine Pondview has always offered. The Pondview staff always strives to give your pet that personalized care it deserves.
Pondview is located in Archbold Ohio and offers a full-service veterinary clinic in a hometown setting. Although, most patients visiting Pondview are small animal species, Pondview offers care to both large animal and exotic species as well. Our staff is always willing to share its veterinary knowledge with younger members of the community through 4-H, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Preschools and Elementary schools. Pondview provides its clients with a newly remodeled facility as well as state of the art equipment and service. Pondview has four veterinarians and a superior support staff. At Pondview, we treat your pets as if they were our own and we always provide a level of service and care you can feel comfortable with.
Meet our Veterinarians
Upon graduation from veterinary school, Dr. Tasha joined Dr. Pat at Pondview Veterinary Clinic working with large, small and exotic animal species. Here she really enjoys all the various aspects of her job; reproduction, surgery, pocket pets and large animals (especially goats and cows) are among some of her favorite.
Dr. Tasha and her husband, Mark, live in Archbold with their daughter, Kenzie. The three of them share their house with three large dogs, three cats and a school of fish. In her free time, Dr. Tasha likes to scrapbook, ride ATVs, dabble in carpentry and play outdoor sports.
