Marshall Breite, DVM
Dr. Breite graduated from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1979. After working at several multi-person practices, he opened the Lagrange Veterinary Hospital in 1989. August 2021 will proudly mark 32 years at the same location.
Dr. Breite's motto is “Thoroughness and Thoughtfulness,” and he applies it equally to his patients and their owners. With nearly four decades of invaluable experience in veterinary medicine, Dr. Breite prides himself on being an excellent generalist veterinarian; very similar to a Family Practitioner in Human Medicine. Accordingly, his fundamental goal is to consistently provide your beloved pet with the best care possible and to always let you rest assured that you have left them in the best hands possible.
When not practicing veterinary medicine, Dr. Breite is a passionate obstacle course racer and has qualified for the Obstacle Course Racing World Championships 7 years in a row. He also enjoys appearing onstage in local community theater productions whenever possible.

Janet Nurre
Janet started her dream job at LaGrange Veterinary Hospital in 2013. Previously, she served for seven years marketing the Hudson Valley's tourism, business and civic interests with the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce. She is so grateful to have the opportunity to combine a love for animals with a calling for customer service in an environment that genuinely promotes pet health and client satisfaction. It is a true pleasure to come to work every day!
In her free time she enjoys participating in the local community theater scene—you can find her onstage or backstage at least once a year—and hiking in the Shawangunks, Hudson Highlands and Catskill Mountains, with the occasional Adirondack peak thrown in for good measure.
