Family of vets has left its mark on region

English-speaking, pet-loving residents of the Guadalajara and Lake Chapala areas are frequently more than familiar with the veterinarian brothers Antonio and Arturo Ladron de Guevara, who, along with their father, a sister and the younger Hector, have for decades operated large, well-equipped clinics in both locales and speak excellent English to boot.

“I adopted a cat from them and had it 15 years,” said one Guadalajara resident.

“My first cat had a kidney problem,” said another. “I was impressed with them because they knew of a cherry flavored, kids antibiotic that cats like!”

“When they started at the lake, they were the most professionally run vet, with a style that was more north-of-the-border,” said a Lakeside resident. “That, plus the English factor, plus the affiliation of the clinic with an animal shelter, has made them popular.”
