Welcome to Engelberg Kristy Animal Hospital

A practice built on decades of hometown trust.

For over 60 years, we've cared for the pets of Fairfield and the surrounding communities. Our veterinarians — Dr. Meredith Miller, Dr. John T. Kristy, and Dr. Marianne Willis — bring decades of clinical experience and a small-town personal touch to every visit.

From playful puppyhood to golden-years comfort, we walk alongside you and your pet at every stage — with preventive care, early diagnosis, and the kind of attention only a locally owned practice can offer.
