Dr. Todd Kyle is leaving Riverside Drive Animal Care Center in Dublin for greener pastures. Now, we would be bursting with excitement if we could say we had talked him into coming to Plain City to open up a practice. But, alas, Dr. Kyle is heading in the opposite direction, going east instead of west, riding into the sunrise of a Reynoldsburg skyline. His last day at Riverside will be next Thursday, July 8.
While Dr. Kyle may look mild mannered, the Clark Kent of the vet world, beneath his dress shirt and tie, he is wearing a B and O t-shirt, which he exposes when he turns into "Super Vet."
Now we don’t have all the details about where Dr. Kyle will be practicing, but from looking him up in the Yellow Pages we know that he will be at 6724 East Main Street in Reynoldsburg. He is going into practice with a friend of his who he graduated with from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The older partner in this practice is retiring and Dr. Kyle is taking this opportunity to step in.
We cannot thank Dr. Kyle enough for all that he has done for Black and Orange and for our own personal cats. Whenever there was anything weird that came along, we always relied upon Dr. Kyle to figure out the strange symptoms. Because of this, he saved Irene from pancreatitis, solved Mitch and Clayton’s diarrhea issues, and literally resuscitated Miss Flower from the dead.
Dr. Kyle also kept a calm face when I brought in a cat in a makeshift “house” who could barely walk and was in such poor shape, I turned away in disgust. He was the one who kindly euthanized it.
Dr. Kyle has also answered our questions, treated us with respect, and helped keep our costs low for B and O.
One of my favorite memories is of the day Dr. Kyle showed Joe and me what he was wearing under his conservative, business dress shirt. Unbuttoning the top buttons, much like Super Man, he exposed a Black and Orange Cat Foundation t-shirt and then proudly puffed out his chest.
Dr. Kyle is not only a good vet, but a good friend and we are going to miss him.
Dr. Kyle told us that he understands Reynoldsburg is too far for us to drive and with Dr. West back in Dublin, he knows we are in good hands. But he also assured us that if we ever had a tricky case, he wasn’t too far away to help.
Thank you, Dr. Kyle, for all that you have done for our kitties. Reynoldsburg is getting not only a “Super Vet,” but a super human being, as well.
Dr. Kyle’s new office phone number in Reynoldsburg, per Yellow Pages, is 614-868-5000.
