IN MEMORY OF

Dr. Steve Haerther

1954 - 2026

After graduating from Iowa State University, Dr. Steve Haerther moved to California and began a remarkable career at Cozycroft Pet Hospital that would span more than four decades. Cozycroft became his second home, and he treasured not only the opportunity to care for animals, but also the personal relationships he built with every client and family who walked through the doors. His warmth, compassion, and commitment to treating people and their pets like family became the foundation of Cozycroft. On the rare occasions he was not at the hospital, he could usually be found watching his sons play baseball—his other great joy in life.

Dr. Haerther is survived by his wife, Susan; his sons, Cody and Casey; and his five grandchildren. His family is honored to carry forward the tradition he began by continuing to provide high-quality veterinary care in the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that meant so much to him.

ABOUT US

Cozycroft Pet Hospital

For more than four decades, Cozycroft Pet Hospital has been a trusted part of the Chatsworth community. Dr. Steve Haerther built the practice around a simple belief: veterinary care should feel personal, welcoming, and family-friendly.

That commitment created lasting relationships with generations of clients and their pets, and it continues to guide us today as a proudly family-owned hospital providing thoughtful, compassionate care in a familiar neighborhood setting.
