John and Kathleen Durfee met in veterinary school at Texas A&M University and have been married 35+ years. Together they have raised four children from birth, foster care and adoption.
As a family they raised food animals on their small hobby farm in NE Ohio where they have grown to love all the seasons! Now they raise a few Katahdin sheep
and a plethora of animals just for "fun".
They both have a heart of compassion for those grieving the loss of a pet and hope this service will help some have a little more peace of mind during such a difficult time.
Dear friend,
We are currently out of the office through the end of
October 2025. If you have a beloved pet that is in need of urgent care, please contact MedVetAkron @ 330-665-4996 or MetroAkron @ 330-666-2976.
Do call ahead to be appropriately triaged and request an anesthetic shot first for your pet before any
other procedures are necessary. This will help relieve much fear and distress for all.
Warmly, Dr's John & Kathleen Durfee 🐾
