Meet Our Staff
Dr. John Rowe
John Rowe, DVM, CVA
Owner of Aid Animal Hospital
Dr. John Rowe received his veterinary degree from Kansas State University in 1990, and has been the proud owner of Aid Animal Hospital for over a decade. Today, Dr. Rowe is an accomplished surgeon, certified veterinary acupuncturist, and medical practitioner. He possesses medical knowledge of small and large companion animals as well as small and large exotic species. Dr. Rowe feels strongly about keeping you informed of every aspect of your pet's health.
Dr. Rowe is supported by his loving family, including his wife Tania, and their two daughters. Of course family life at the Rowe house wouldn't be complete without his furry children: Chester (Yellow Labrador), Walter (Cairn terrier), Frisco (Chihuahua, who was adopted through AAH's adoption program), and Ramsey (Pointer Mix, who found the family after being abandoned). Last, but not least, are the family's pet rats, William and Harry.
When we at AAH say that we treat your pet like family, we truly do. As pet parents, we know the value your pet has as a part of your family. We look forward to meeting with you and thank you for choosing Aid Animal Hospital to care for your pets.
