Donald L. Ross, D.V.M., M.S., Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Dentistry
Doctor Ross, a native of Huntsville, graduated from Texas A & M University in 1967 with degrees as a Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Ross joined the Air Force and was base veterinarian at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio. His primary duty was the care of Air Force guard dogs. Many of these dogs were so powerful that they would damage their teeth which rendered them useless as guard dogs. By close association with human dentists at Lackland, Dr. Ross became interested in the possibilities of veterinary dentistry. He attended the University of Texas Dental School in Houston, graduating in 1972 with a Master of Science degree. He then opened the first veterinary specialty practice in Houston, limiting his practice exclusively to veterinary dentistry. Dr. Ross and Dr. H.M. Mark founded the first Pet Vet hospital on the Katy Freeway at Shepherd in 1976.
