Taylor Veterinary Hospital's Legacy

Did you know that Taylor Veterinary Hospital is Iowa's oldest, continuously operating small animal hospital? The building first was a printing company that was built in 1875 which Dr. Bacon renovated to become his home and office in 1917. He sold it to Dr. Lloyd Boxwell in 1943. Dr. Boxwell did some more renovations and in 1981 sold it to Dr. Jim Taylor. In 1991 Dr. Taylor and his wife, Pam did more major remodeling and currently the clinic has 6,000 square feet of space. There are 4 exam rooms, a large waiting and reception area, offices for the 3 doctors and office manager. The in house laboratory, pharmacy and x-ray all help the doctors provide the best quality care for pets. There is also a treatment area, and a modern surgical suite which is used for almost any kind of surgery. They have large dog runs and an area for boarding cats and small dogs. There is even a tunnel that runs underground to connect different parts of the unique building. The upstairs holds an apartment, a large storage space and a room that is used for staff meetings. Taylor Veterinary Hospital loves its location in Downtown Cedar Falls and hopes that you will come and check us out!
