Okay, now that we got that out of the way, and hopefully grabbed your attention, here’s a bit more detail about our practices:
Meet Dr. David Eddleman
A native of Missouri, I graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 1990. I started out at a bustling veterinary clinic in southern Indiana before taking a position in Muncie, Indiana. The chance of a lifetime opened up to me when South Anderson Veterinary Clinic was posted for sale in 2000. In 2000, I became the official owner of SAVC. In 2009, I was unexpectedly approached about opening a second practice. And as every piece fell perfectly into place, I opened Country Critters Veterinary Hospital in the Spring of 2010. We even had an appointment the first day we were open. Today, both practices are thriving and growing quickly, with an all-star TEAM and great clients.
I am always looking to bring another veterinarian into the SAVC/CCVH family, even for internships and externships. I believe great things happen when everyone is willing to roll up their sleeves and work together with a common goal in mind. In our daily practice, we strive to care for each animal as our own. Because we believe that the pet-owner bond is precious and that each pet and person deserves to be loved.
If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly (or my Hospital Administrator Allison).
I hope to hear from you soon!

We believe that what you make of it is what you get from your experience with us. We work with you to set and meet weekly goals. Do you want some extra surgery experience? We can make that happen! Do you want to stay until 9:00 pm working on dental extractions on a cadaver? One of us will pull up a chair next to you. And probably bring you some food. Again, what you make of it is what you will get from it.
We lease a one-bedroom fully furnished condo 3 minutes from SAVC and 7 minutes from CCVH. The landlord does not allow pets, but your furry family member is welcome to board at SAVC for the duration of your stay.
