Veterinarian/Owner
Edmund Meier Jr DVM is the owner of Leon Valley Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Meier is a local and grew up just down the road from the veterinary hospital on Grissom Road. He graduated from John Marshall High School and was an avid participant in their Ag program showing lambs and pigs as well as participating on judging teams.
Dr. Meier fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian when he graduated from Texas A&M University with his DVM in 1993. After graduation, Dr. Meier worked in the Houston area and Brenham before deciding to return “home” to San Antonio in December 1996. He went to work for the then owner of Leon Valley Veterinary Hospital and eventually bought the veterinary practice in March 2001.
Dr. Meier says what he loves most about being a veterinarian is the mystery of figuring out what is ailing the pet since they “can’t talk to you” and the pet owners. He enjoys taking the time to talk with pet owners and getting to know them as family.
Dr. Meier describes his home life as being married for 30+ years to his wife Susan and being blessed with 3 children. Trevor a Texas A&M graduate and current student at Texas Tech Veterinary School; Brandon a United States Marine; and Ally a veteran of the United States Navy and currently attending college. His 4-legged family members are Tickle and Faith (yellow labs), Peanut and Punkin (rescued chihuahuas), Freeway (rescued poodle mix), Beau (mini-Aussie), Trig (Jack Russel terrier), Marshmallow (mix) and cats (Tiger, Jag, Snowy, Socks, Callie, and Eevee). Dr. Meier’s interests outside of work are Indian artifacts, hunting and fishing, and gardening.
