Dr. Bruce McLaughlin is originally from Indianapolis, IN and a graduate of Purdue School of Veterinary Science and Medicine. In 1977, Dr. McLaughlin started, own, and operated his own veterinary clinic for over 40 years. After visiting the Sarasota area for over 30 years, in 2019 he decided to sell his practice and move to paradise. Due to his deep passion for veterinary medicine, the pets, and their owners, Dr. Laughlin received his Florida license and is excited to begin working at Bee Ridge Veterinary Hospital.

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his three children, seven grandchildren, and his longhaired miniature dachshund, Olivia, who pretty much runs the show.
