Dr. Cole Dodson
In Loving Memory…
of our associate, Dr. Cole Dodson, who passed away unexpectedly on
Tuesday, October 11, 2022.
He was a wonderful veterinarian, friend, husband and son. His compassion for people and animals was unsurmountable. He will be greatly missed by his friends, family and clients.
Dr. Cole Dodson, a 2003 graduate of Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, "came aboard" the Ark, January of 2019. Following graduation, Dr. Dodson practiced at North Bryan Veterinary Clinic, eventually purchasing the practice in 2006. Dr. Dodson sold the practice in 2016 and continued to practice veterinary medicine at the Bryan/College Station/Hempstead area for 3 more years as an associate practitioner.
His desire to move to the Stephenville area was prompted by his desire to be closer to his parents, who reside in Coleman, Texas. He is joined by his wife Cyndy. They have 2 dogs and 2 cats. His focus is in both large and small animal medicine and surgery, with further emergency animal medical experience.
Our Mission Statement
