Registered Veterinary Technician

We’re here for you, we’re here for your pet, and we’re proud to be your neighborhood’s favorite vet! Southgate Veterinary Clinic is proud to have cared for Bellefontaine pets and families for several decades. Under Dr. De. Wayne Weaver’s ownership since 2017, our hospital completed a full remodel in 2020 and kept the close relationships that make us a community fixture.

Our doctors bring experience in many aspects of small-animal medicine, such as surgery, behavior, and exotic companion mammal wellness, which creates an environment where questions lead to learning and no one practices in a silo. Our beautiful hospital includes six exam rooms, a dedicated surgery suite, treatment space, separate dog and cat wards, and dedicated ultrasound and radiology areas.

We take pride in not only our veterinary knowledge and technical expertise but also in the kindness, patience, and integrity that define our practice culture. Our goal is simple- to provide the highest quality medical care while building lasting relationships with our clients and their beloved pets. If you want to become a stronger registered vet tech, help shape a growing hospital, and get to know the clients and pets behind the chart, we would love to meet you.
