Robert "Dr. Bob" McClellan
DVM, Medical Director, & Co-Owner
It is awesome to work with such a large group of dedicated and passionate individuals, who are animal advocates. The team is highly service motivated, as well as knowledgeable about all things veterinary. And, the fact that we have such a great facility to practice veterinary medicine, in a small Wisconsin community, gives us the opportunity to make a difference in pets’ lives, and their family’s lives by maintaining the human-animal bond, every day.
Dr. Robert McClellan, also known as ‘Dr. Bob’, is the Medical Director at Superior Animal Hospital. He was raised on a dairy farm in southern Wisconsin, and his family was close with local veterinarians; giving Dr. Bob a good concept of what the veterinary field was all about from the very beginning. He attended Colorado College in Colorado Springs as a chemistry major and earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Iowa State University in 1986. Dr. Bob has professional interests in surgery, general canine and feline medicine, and small mammal (rabbit and pocket pet) care.
Dr. Bob worked in a mixed animal practice in Janesville, Wisconsin for 5 years; working with dogs and cats and assorted companion animals as well as farm animals and horses. For the next two years he worked at a companion animal emergency clinic in Rockford, Illinois and did relief work at a variety of veterinary practices in southern Wisconsin. In 1993, he moved to Superior, WI to work at Tower Avenue Veterinary Clinic before purchasing the practice in 1999. Tower Avenue Clinic became Superior Animal Hospital and Boarding Suites in 2003 when it moved to its new and current location on East 2nd Street.
Dr. Bob is an avid volunteer and involved with a number of organizations, including the Superior Rotary Club, Superior Sister City Commission, Humane Society of Douglas County, Arrowhead Veterinary Medical Association, United Presbyterian Church, and Superior Jaycees.
Dr. Bob is married to Serena, who works at the hospital as a pet behavior and puppy class specialist, and has two children. Dr. Bob and his family enjoy canoeing, camping, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, vegetable gardening, and cooking. Their family pets include three rambunctious cats Grace, Miles and Virgil, and two Chihuahuas that have some special needs, Leo and Ami.
