Dr. Niels van Loo is a graduate of the prestigious Ontario Veterinary College in Canada, where he trained in equine and small animal veterinary medicine.
He has been involved in various aspects of veterinary medicine since he was a teenager. His love of horses inspired him to become a veterinarian, and he continues to be active in the horse world as an equestrian, riding in the jumper ring and concentrating on dressage training of his mounts. Having moved to the Sunshine State from Ohio, Dr. van Loo joined our team in May of 2025.
Professionally, Dr. van Loo has focused his career on providing high quality medical care to dogs and cats. He has championed preventative medicine as the cornerstone of all veterinary medicine as it greatly reduces illnesses and allows for early identification of medical conditions, which allows for better treatment outcomes for the patient. He highly values using Fear Free practices when working with his patients, to reduce the inherent stress of veterinary visits.
Dr. van Loo embraces your relationship with your pet and is Human Animal Bond Certified to help you take the best care of your dogs and cats. He enjoys education to ensure his clients have the information they need to best take care of their furry family members.
Outside of work and horseback riding, Dr. van Loo enjoys cooking, using fresh herbs from his herb garden, and visiting farmer’s markets for fresh ingredients. He is a big fan of the outdoors, exploring the flora and fauna of Florida, as well as beach reads and long walks along the ocean.
