The Marshall Animal Hospital story begins with Michael Paul Anderson. He bought an established equine veterinary practice in 1971 and grew it into a full-service mixed animal hospital. Through strong work ethic he built the practice into a reputable practice base upon stellar client service and dedication to every pet. Dr. Anderson improved animal care in the entire region with one exam room, a truck and working pens out back. In the tradition of noted author and veterinarian, James Herriot, Dr. Anderson treated all creatures great and small and created many memories that are vivid at our hospital.

His son, Dr. Jason Anderson, joined him in practice in 1996 after working at multiple practices in San Antonio for two years. They worked together one year when the elder Dr. Anderson passed away. Over time, Marshall Animal Hospital began to transition itself into a full-service companion animal hospital with an emphasis on quality care and service for our clients, and stellar employees passionate about animal care.

Our mission is to treat your pets like family by always offering the best medical care available in East Texas, with compassion for each and every pet we see. We also want our service to our clients' needs to warrant a referral business that will enable us to grow for years to come.
