Dr. Jim Lane

Owner, Veterinarian
Dr. Jim Lane’s journey into veterinary medicine began on a dairy farm in Kentucky, where he developed an early admiration for the veterinarians who cared for his family’s livestock. Encouraged by his father’s belief in his calling, Dr. Lane pursued his dream and turned his childhood fascination into a lifelong profession.

After earning his undergraduate degree from Western Kentucky University, Dr. Lane attended Auburn University’s School of Veterinary Medicine, where he graduated with his Doctorate in 1984. His professional career began in private practice, and in 1991, he and his family made Cleveland their home. Two years later, he purchased a local clinic and, after steady growth, opened the doors to Community Animal Hospital in 1997.

Today, Dr. Lane continues to lead the practice with decades of veterinary experience and a deep sense of care for every animal that comes through the door. Outside of work, he enjoys gardening and caring for his own rescue animals, including a one-legged chicken, a one-eyed donkey, and a three-and-a-half-legged Angus cow. Dr. Lane and his wife, Kathy, are proud parents to three children and two grandchildren who share their love for animals.

Compassion. Experience. Community.

At Community Animal Hospital, our veterinarians and staff believe that great medicine begins with great relationships. We are honored to be a part of Cleveland’s pet community and to continue serving families who trust us with their companions’ health and happiness.
