Our Hospital

We are a full service hospital comitted to excellence in veterinary care.  Allgood Animal Hospital has been serving the community for 50 years.

In March of 1957, Senior Veterinary Student Don Allgood made a trip to Burlington to investigate the possibility of purchasing the veterinary practice of the late Dr. R.V. Beard. The negotiations that followed were friendly and productive, leading to the sale of the practice to Dr. Allgood.

On June 18, 1957, Dr. Allgood moved to Burlington and reopened the veterinary practice of Dr. Beard at 2535 Mt. Pleasant Street. The practice continued on a temporary basis here until Dr. Allgood purchased a site on Highway 61 North. The site included a building that was satisfactory to modify as a veterinary hospital. The modifications were completed and the practice was soon moved to this new site at the beginning of January of 1958.

In the autumn of 1972, Dr. Allgood built his practice at its current location at 3106 Johannsen Drive. The new hospital gained an extensive and flattering review in one of the national veterinary publication magazines.

In June of 1975, Dr. Rita Lesczynski joined the practice where she remains until this time. In 2003, Dr. Lesczynski purchased the practice where two other doctors of veterinary medicine; Dr. Anne Remmers and Dr. Brooke Smith now assist her.
