Caring for Dallas pets since 1946

Holt ClinicIn 1946, Dr. J.N. Holt established Holt Veterinary Clinic, the first business on the street now known as SMU Boulevard (formerly Yale Blvd).  Upon his retirement in 1982, he sold the practice to Dr. David W. Baxter, who in turn recently sold the practice to Dr. Geoff K. Bratton.  Dr. Bratton is only the third owner of Holt Veterinary Clinic since its founding. 

Over the years, the Holt Veterinary Clinic has grown along with the city of Dallas, and we continue to serve the changing needs of our community's pets.  Our clients value the old-fashioned service and progressive care provided by Holt's doctors and staff.

 
Our Mission
We strive to serve both people and their pets in an environment founded upon family, progressive medicine and surgery, cleanliness, respect and continuing education -- while always advancing the human-animal bond.

Old animals and those with heavy coats are the most at risk. Even dogs that have lived outside most of their lives need protection from this severe heat.
