About Four Star Veterinary Service

In 2005, four swine veterinarians in the eastern Corn Belt joined forces to form Four Star Veterinary Service. Their business philosophy was simple but uncompromising: "If it’s best for the pig, it’s best for the producer.” Since then, Four Star Veterinary Service has expanded to eight clinics and 29 veterinarians based in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Iowa. Our clients span 30 states, range in size from 200 to 40,000 sows and finish from 1,000 to millions of hogs a year. We also work extensively with breeding stock companies. While our primary focus is commercial swine production, our diverse team of veterinarians has expertise in cattle, poultry and other food-animal species.
