Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Kenneth Kirlin, DVM

Owner

Dr. Kenneth Kirlin came to San Antonio in 1983 after graduating from Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine. His passion for veterinary medicine stems from the pleasure he receives every time he helps his clients’ pets recover from an illness or injury.

Seeing a dog wagging its tail or the cat that wants to be petted after their recovery brings Dr. Kirlin personal as well as professional satisfaction. After working for another practice in San Antonio, Dr. Kirlin started Eagle Veterinary Hospital in 1996, a practice that was originally started by Dr. Albert Nagle in 1947.

As a result of the continuation of this practice, Eagle Veterinary Hospital was recently named a Texas Veterinary Heritage Hospital for more than 50 years of continuous service.

Dr. Kirlin is thankful for his outstanding Veterinary education, which enables him to give back to his community in many ways.

Dr. Kirlin has served as past president of the Veterinary Medical Association of Bexar County and 4 terms as President of the Board of Directors of the Emergency Veterinary Pet Center. Dr. Kirlin currently serves on the Alumni Association Committee for the Center for Veterinary Medicine at Oklahoma State University. He is also on the board of the Olmos Park Economic development corporation.

Dr. Kirlin enjoys traveling with his family. When not traveling together as a family, Dr. Kirlin enjoys backpacking, camping, and hiking with friends and family. Dr. Kirlin and his wife Pamela have 3 children, Nichole, Brenda, and Wesley.

The favorite pet of their house is a Labrador retriever named Nova. The Kirlin household has also fostered many other 4 legged friends. The children have had many other pocket pets, such as fancy rats, rabbits, and tadpoles they raised into frogs.

Associate Veterinarian

I went to school at Texas A&M University and have been practicing since 2010. I pride myself on striving to take care of my patients the way I would my own pets. Beyond life as a veterinarian, I am training in aerial arts and I love to spend time working on my succulent garden.

I am available if there are concerns and want to make sure that everyone has the best visit to our facility and with our team as possible. I love to spend time with my family and two dogs, take on DIY jobs, and work on cars with my oldest daughter.

I have been practicing as a Veterinary Technician Supervisor since 2011. I pride myself on my ability to think of the little things that may affect my patients and try to help every patient be as comfortable as possible. I am passionate about creating a space in my clinic where my patients, their parents, and my staff alike can be educated and succeed. In my free time, I like to watch movies and hang out with my family. I have 2 human kids and 5 fur kids (4 cats and one chihuahua, so basically 5 cats) I also like to play paintball with friends and try new restaurants around the city.
