Dr. Pendleton graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989. He purchased the former Cadiz Animal Clinic in February 1993 and built the new clinic that became Heritage Veterinary Care in 2019. He retired from farm animal medicine the same year and now enjoys seeing pets.
Dr. Pendleton was very active in organized veterinary medicine, serving as president of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association from 2015-2016, serving on the OVMA board for 16 years, and was also the Ohio delegate to the AVMA and a member of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board.
His hobbies include history, stamp collecting, hiking, and bird watching. Dr. Pendleton has also been accumulating retirement projects, such as a 1900 horse-drawn hearse that needs restoring. He has always been committed to community service and has served many local organizations over the years. He and his wife Donna have been married 31 years and have two children, 3 dogs, 3 donkeys, and 3 horses (one that is blind in one eye and deaf in both ears)!
