In 1994, with multiple scholarships in hand, he began his journey by attending the University of Akron. After three years, he was accepted directly into The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where he graduated in 2001.
After graduation, Dr. Larson spent his first couple of years in a mixed animal practice. He then returned home to Canton, where he worked with a large variety of animals, including exotics. During this time, he pursued continuing education and training in the area of orthopedics. Although he is not a specialist, he discovered that he enjoys the challenge of these more involved procedures and looks to continue expanding his abilities! In 2013, Dr. Larson purchased the Veterinary Wellness Center of North Canton. In 2019, he founded The Veterinary Wellness Center of Green (a dog only clinic) and The Cat Clinic and Spa (a cat only clinic).
Dr. Troy Larson is married to his amazing wife, Rachel, and they are currently raising their four boys: Isaac, Levi, Seth, and Elijah. These boys, along with their Whippet Chase, certainly know how to keep home life entertaining! Dr. Troy and Rachel are very involved in their church and in international mission’s work, traveling to Africa, Asia, and South America for over 25 years sharing the love of Jesus.
