The owner and founder of the Healthy Pet is Dr. Doreen Hock, local holistic veterinarian. Dr. Doreen Hock graduated from Oregon State University veterinary school in 1987. Dr. Hock went to veterinary acupuncture training in 1994 in Atlanta, Georgia. From that training, her focus shifted to holistic treatments and nutrition. She opened Eugene’s first holistic veterinary clinic, Pacifica Veterinary Services, in Downtown Eugene.
In 1997 she opened the first holistic pet store in Eugene, the Healthy Pet, in order to offer the diets and supplements that could help her patients. About 10 years ago the Healthy Pet moved to its current location at 29th and Friendly in South Eugene.
