Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Eric Allie joined the team at The Family Pet Clinic in February 2015. He's been interested in helping to care for animals since his early youth, when a family veterinarian set an inspiring example. "As a child I would always go with my parents to take our animals to Dr. Richmond," Dr. Allie explains. "He was always so calm with our animals and they never seemed scared. I knew I wanted to be just like him." Dr. Allie earned his undergraduate degree from Cleveland State University in 2005, majoring in Biology, and went on to earn his doctorate from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. He is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association, and the Cleveland Academy of Veterinary Medicine. His major professional interest is ophthalmology. While Dr. Allie enjoys all elements of the work he does with clients in the community and their animals, he says the most satisfying part of being a veterinarian is seeing people's happiness when they know their animals are well taken care of. "I know I've done a really good job when the tails don't stop wagging!" Dr. Allie says. He is the pet parent to a rescue greyhound named Amhurst and two crazy cats: Finn and Peanut. In his free time Dr. Allie enjoys camping, hiking, backpacking and spending time with his wife Valerie and their son Abram.
