Longtime veterinarian bids farewell to Wylie practice

by | Jun 12, 2025 | Area News, Latest

Dr. Chuck Kerin will bid farewell to Wylie and his longtime roster of area clients at the end of this month after decades of operating his veterinary practice. Parker Road Veterinary Hospital, now part of a corporation, employs multiple veterinarians.

After more than four decades of caring for animals, Dr. Chuck Kerin will hang up his stethoscope on June 27 and retire from the veterinary practice he built from the ground up.

Kerin, who opened Parker Road Veterinary Hospital in Wylie in 1984, just two years after graduating from Texas A&M, said it’s time for a slower pace. He and his wife, Lisa, are moving to a 227-acre working ranch in Sulphur Springs, where he plans to raise cattle, perform embryo transfers in horses and eventually breed and sell horses.
