        General Info
        We believe our animal hospital rates as one of the best in Alachua County in the ability to provide the highest level of medical care for our patients. In April 2010 we were accredited by The American Animal Hospital Association , a recognition of having achieved the highest standard of veterinary care. There are 16 animal hospitals in Alachua County and surrounding areas; only 4 are AAHA accredited. We also have some features that make us unique: West End Animal Hospital was established by Dr. Deborah Cottrell in 1986. We treat a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, rodents, small marsupials, non-human primates, and a variety of other exotic animals as well. Our Doctors have over 50 years combined experience. Our state of the art facility includes two surgery suites, an emergency ward, treatment areas, boarding kennels with separate areas for cats and dogs (indoor or air-conditioned indoor/outdoor), an extensive in-house pharmacy, and a digital x-ray suite (one of few privately owned fully digital systems in central Florida). Our cutting edge in-house laboratory allows us to obtain fast diagnostic results when your pet needs it the most, rather than the usual 24 to 48 hour wait associated with off-site labs. We offer our clients cozy exam rooms with in-room checkout, cable TV, and free WiFi internet access. We see after-hour emergencies, for our established clients, enabling you to see a doctor that is familiar with your pet. We ran a program called "Operation PitNip" that provided free spays and neuters for Pit Bulls for seven years. By the time we ended the program in April of 2012, we had spayed and neutered over 1750 pit-bulls for free. We have raised and donated over $40,000 to animal rescue groups via our Poker For Pets charity program. We are involved in bat rescue, rehabilitation, and education. In June 2015, we installed a new, large bat house in our retention pond. This house can hold 25,000 bats, so we're hoping for full occupancy in the fall.

        Overall

        I have an absolute horror story about this place! NEVER take any hooved animals there! I had an unbelievably TERRIBLE experience at West End Animal hospital when I brought my pot-bellied pig there. The vet claimed that they knew pig anatomy (my piggy's hooves on his back foot are growing in a "club" foot pattern and causing him pain). They took my baby Boris into a back room and 6 people held him down while they took a BELT SANDER to his hoof.... they then fed him BACON DOG TREATS to try to calm him down!!!!!!! (I am a life-long vegetarian so this is absolutely deplorable, let alone the fact that they were feeding the flesh of a pig TO A PIG). I found out about the treats because when they brought him back to me, he had orange powder smeared all over his face so I inquired and was told that it was cheese-bacon flavored dog treats they gave him. Another thing, his ear was ripped and bleeding from one of the employee's watch scratching his skin while they held him down. On top of all this, when I took him to another vet after this incident (Dawn Miller, DVM) she showed me where they BROKE Boris's ankle on that foot by holding him down so forcefully. I couldn't believe it! (Boris later had to have a pin surgically implanted into his ankle to heal the joint). I ran into the male vet who was involved (pretty sure it was Fred Schirmer) at Satchel's pizza and when I mentioned to him that the next vet who saw my pig testified that West End literally BROKE my pig's ankle when they saw him, Schirmer literrally SMILED and walked away without saying anything. I was totally SHOCKED at his callous disregard at this information!!! I will never go there again!!!! Total nightmare!!!!!!
