About Our Veterinary Hospital

Petplex Animal Hospital in Buckeye Lake, OH

Petplex Animal Hospital was founded by Dr. Douglas Poorman in November 2003 in the village of Buckeye Lake Ohio. The clinic was started in a small building in the center of the village with only six employees. Petplex Animal Hospital was initially designed for the preventive care of dogs and cats and for pet emergencies. Within 2 years, the clinic had quickly grown and added more veterinarians and support staff to be able to accommodate our clients, some who even came from 30 miles away or more. 

In March 2010, Petplex moved to a new hospital building (where we are currently) at the west end of Buckeye Lake, Ohio. We offer wellness and sick care as well as same day urgent care/emergency appointments. We are open after normal business hours to provide a complete range of emergency services, advanced diagnostics, and hospitalization.
