Brookside Animal Hospital was established in 1960 at the corner of 12th Street and Wall Avenue in Ogden, Utah by Dr. Eric Isaacson and Dr. I.G. Liljenquist. Designed to accommodate both large and small animals, the facility originally included horse and cow chutes to the west of the building. Following the untimely death of Dr. Isaacson in 1965, Dr. Liljenquist limited the practice to small animals. Dr. Frank Markos received his DVM from Colorado State University in 1967 and joined the practice at that time. Dr. Markos became a full partner in January of 1969. The partnership between Dr. Markos and Dr. Liljenquist continued until 1994 when Dr. Markos became the sole owner following Dr. Liljenquist's retirement. Dr. Kathryn Penrod joined Brookside following completion of her DVM degree from Colorado State University in 2000 and became owner following Dr. Markos's retirement in 2004. Dr. Eleanor Jenson joined the practice in 2004 and Dr. Stacey Henderson in 2006, both are graduates of Colorado State University. In 2007, a partnership consisting of Drs. Markos, Penrod, Jenson, and Henderson was formed with the goal of constructing a modern veterinary facility. Construction is now complete on the northeast corner of 7th Street and Wall Avenue. The new facility will accommodate the growth Brookside has experienced over the past years and allow us to continue to provide up-to-date medicine and surgery for our patients and increased comfort and convenience for our clients. We want to especially thank our wonderful clients and exceptional staff for their support in this project. Please join the Brookside team in our new facility, beginning July 1, 2008.

AWESOME SERVICE

I have been going to Brookside for ten years and love them all. They treat my animals like family. They have done nothing but good for me. It's the best place to take your animals.

Dr. Penrod responsible for my dogs death

Dr. Penrod was my 20 month old Toy Poodles Doctor, my pup had thrown up for three months in a row her heart worm preventive medicine. Dr. Penrod thought that my pup was allergic to the flavoring instead of testing her to see if she was allergic to Ivermectin, one of the ingredients in the Heart Worm medicine, she choose to have a compounding Pharmacy make a different Heart worm formula for my pup, I disagreed with her theory but she chose to ignore my thoughts. Dr. Penrod failed to tell me that the Compounding Pharmacy's are not FDA approved nor are they safe and effective. When i received the new medicine and gave it to my pup ( i will regret this forever) within 3 1/2 hours she went into Ivermectin Toxicity symptoms, she went blind, lost her being to stand, started having spasms and drooling, when i took her to Dr. Penrod she did not even know to give my pup charcoal to make her throw up, i transported my pup to a Specialized Veterinary Hospital in Salt Lake City, the next day we had to put my pup down as she was no longer responsive and was on a ventilator that was breathing for her. If you love your pets please do not ever take them to Dr. Penrod. She has broken my heart and taken away my most precious Friend!!!

BEYOND expectations

I have been taking a wide variety of pets to this clinic for many years. On many occassions, my vet, Dr. Jensen, has gone beyond the all of duty to help me research health care options for my animal children. I boarded my newly diabetic dog with Brookside and she received excellent care. I know when the care as been good because my babies are not frantic and are not that interested in leaving their new friends. A great bunch of vets.

Awesome care

I started taking my dogs there about 2 years ago and I have received great care from them. The price is decent for services. They have been very friendly and nice to me and my animals.

Horrible

We had our pet spayed and requested that any baby teeth potentially causing problems be removed. After picking her up we noticed that one of the baby upper canines hadn't been extracted and the perm. tooth was pushing against it.We had to take her back and was charged to anesthetize her again even though it was THEIR mistake.When I returned to pick her up, her backside was soaked in urine and water, nobody even bothered towel drying her.Not only are they dishonest in their practice clearly they had no desire to treat my animal humanely.
