On Saturday, February 2, 2013, Dr. Schwabe DVM, CCRP hosted a First Aid/Dog Care Merit Badge Class for a wonderful group of Boy Scouts from Williams Township and their families.
We had great fun together learning about various breed histories, requirements, and most importantly pet first aid tips (that we hope we never have to use!).

Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Caryl Putchat
![]() |
We are saddened at the unexpected passing of Caryl D. Putchat, 70, on October 25, 2012. As many of our loyal clients know, Caryl was the wife of Dr. Bruce S. Putchat. The couple would have celebrated 49 years of marriage on December 22. Caryl was also the mother of Matthew Putchat, who runs AnWell Veterinary Rehab, and his brothers Craig and Douglas.
Caryl was the manager of Pleasant Valley Animal Hospital, working alongside her husband for 45 years in the family business. Caryl’s hard work and dedication through the years have made Pleasant Valley Animal Hospital what it is today.
Our love and thoughts are with the entire Putchat family.
