About Bush Veterinary
A Trusted Veterinary Practice Since 1954
Who We Are
We are a progressive large and small animal veterinary practice based in Flora, Indiana, with three veterinarians, licensed veterinary technicians, and a team of experienced professionals dedicated to providing the best possible animal care.
For more than 70 years, we have taken pride in being an active part of the communities we serve. Since opening our doors in 1954, our practice has been built on long-standing relationships, dependable service, and a commitment to compassionate veterinary care.
Our Approach To Care
We believe quality veterinary care starts with listening. Our doctors and staff take the time to understand your concerns, explain options clearly, and provide care that supports both immediate needs and long-term health.
Whether we’re caring for a family pet or supporting livestock health, our approach is guided by experience, respect, and a genuine commitment to doing what’s best for every animal.
Our History
Dr. John A. Bush graduated from the School of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State in 1954. He established his veterinary practice in Flora, IN, in May of 1954. He married Virginia Naylor that same month. In January of 1956, he purchased the property east of Flora on State Road 18 where the practice is currently located. The property included a house and a garage, and with the help of his father and cousin, both from Lafayette, they remodeled the two-car garage that still stands today. That remodeled garage has grown and been remodeled many times over the last 71 years and stands today as Bush Veterinary Services.
In 1993, small animal services were expanded with the addition of a surgical suite, treatment area, in-house laboratory, and radiology. In 2005, a food animal haul-in facility was built just north of the main office building. It features drive-through loading and unloading for livestock trailers, a hydraulic tip chute for lameness issues and surgical procedures, and a stationary chute with working tub and alleyway. The goal of this addition was to better serve our producers’ medical needs.
Dr. Randy Bush graduated from Purdue University in 1985 and joined Dr. John in practice in 1990. After graduation, he practiced in Carthage, IL, and spent two years with a large livestock management company in Illinois and Oregon. Dr. Randy purchased the practice in 1993, and Dr. John remained a vital part of the practice until his death in 1999. Dr. Amy Lanum, a 2000 Purdue graduate, joined the practice in 2003. Dr. Amy practiced in South Dakota for three years before returning to her home state of Indiana. Dr. Jen Fife, a 2010 Purdue graduate, joined the practice after graduation. To round out the professional staff, we are also fortunate to have registered technicians that work side by side with the veterinarians.
Serving the veterinary needs of the agricultural community and surrounding area has always been the primary focus. We have been richly blessed to serve many farms, families, and friends.
