Veterinarian in Watertown, SD

Our mission is simple – to put the needs of our patients first; from this, all else follows. We’ve put a great deal of thought into making your pet as comfortable and safe as possible while in our care and we designed our clinic and built our staff team with those concepts in mind; everything from our separate waiting rooms and hospital wards for dogs and cats to our calming blue color scheme and use of natural lighting. Our state-of-the-art equipment such as a digital x-ray machine, which means no more long waits for x-rays to develop, and our heated surgery table providing additional comfort to the animal, allow us to provide better care.

Our facility boasts a medical laser used for healing and pain management – giving you and your pet more treatment options. We have convenient hours, drop-off appointments and offer emergency care along with premium pet care and nutritional products. Westside Animal Clinic is committed to providing excellence in patient care with a high degree of professionalism. Learn more about Westside Animal Clinic.

Testimonials

I trust these amazing people with my cat's life. They have done so well and are so kind and helpful. They will always pick up the phone and answer any questions I have. I highly recommend this animal clinic.

Brittney A.

Dr. Louis and all of her staff are fantastic. My cat loves it there. He has boarded there several times and gets his claws trimmed once a month. Whenever I have questions or health concerns about my cat they are quick to respond with care and compassion. The rates are low while the quality of care is extremely high. I highly recommend Westside Animal Clinic!

Brian T.

I have been going to Westside for awhile now, off and on. The staff is always respectful and caring when I come in. They listen and are willing to go over and beyond for their clients. If you need your cat(s) or dog(s) to see a vet, Westside clinic is an amazing clinic to go to.

Dr. Louis takes as much time as needed to answer all my questions when I take either of my girls in for a checkup. I appreciate her calm and quiet nature with Gabby and Winnie.

Dr. Lewis and the team at Westside are compassionate, knowledgeable, and helpful people. I made the change to Westside about two years ago and am so grateful that I did. I appreciate the love and care they give to my pets.
