Dr Linda Meakin is a 1989 graduate of the Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine. She received her B.S. in Biology from the John Carroll University in Cleveland, and went on to receive her Doctor of Nursing (ND) from Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio.
She worked on a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) stepdown unit for one year and decided that veterinary medicine was still her first love. She took a few needed pre-requisites and applied to the Ohio State Veterinary College and was accepted. She uses her knowledge from caring for preemie babies in her practice of neonatal medicine in puppies.
After practicing for 30 years in general medicine at All Creatures Animal Hospital in Cincinnati, she decided to open up a reproduction/pediatric clinic. Dr Linda has been breeding Puliks for over 30 years. She got into showing her Puliks about 15 years ago, and has more recently begun showing her Komondor, Pumi and Kuvasz. She has been invited to Westminster multiple times, and more recently was invited to Crufts Dog Show with her Komondorok, Big Al.
After being asked many times whether she did ear cropping, she decided to take the DPCA Crop Grant Mentorship course. She is excited to now offer ear cropping services at her practice since completing the externship. Her practice, Breed All About It, is in Cincinnati OH.
