Large Animal

Cooper Veterinary Hospital provides general medicine to your large animal pets and livestock at our specially equipped barn. We supply health care for most domestic large animal species such as cattle, horses, goats, and sheep. We also have experience tending more exotic stock including llamas, white-tailed deer, camels, and more. In addition to our in-clinic treatment facility, we offer ambulatory services for on-the-farm herd work.

We conduct annual basic health exams, vaccinations, and blood testing. In addition to attending animals that are unwell due to sickness or disease, we provide wound care and treat lame or injured animals. Our experienced veterinarians also assist with pregnancy and problem births, and offer equine and cattle reproductive services, in addition to large animal surgeries such as castration. For large animals such as equine, bovine, and deer that cannot be brought into the x-ray room, we use a portable film-based x-ray unit.

Large animal ambulatory services are available by appointment. For our farm calls, we offer routine preventative care, diagnosis and treatment of sick animals, along with a variety of limited veterinary medical and surgical procedures.

What Our Clients Say

  • “The staff here are incredible. Everyone who works in the front are professional and so nice. Our German Shepherd gets really stressed, and the vet assistant was super patient and great with him. He got to see Dr. Halley, and she is really caring and explained everything thoroughly. I highly recommend this veterinary hospital."

    Robin B.

  • “Cooper Veterinary Hospital is the only place in this area that handles international health certifications for pets, and they are excellent at it. They were incredibly responsive and proactive throughout the entire process. Special thanks to Dr. Halley and Madelyn, who went above and beyond to ensure my cat was cared for during our international travel. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!”

    Ainslee J.

  • “This was my first visit, and I really liked the vet. Dr. Bass is great, and so is Caleb, the vet tech. My dog has arthritis and can't be picked up. Dr. Bass and Caleb got on the floor with him! They are very kind and patient, and the costs are reasonable for a first visit.”

    Jean M.

  • ”I came through their door on a Friday at closing time(yall know how ready you are to leave work at that time) with my beardie that was sick. I'd been in a panic because my local vet shrugged my baby off saying he was fine so I had to rush after work and drive an hour and a half to the closest exotic vet who denied seeing us(understandable as it was closing time) So I headed to Cooper praying that they would help. This office was kind and really took the time to listen to me and examine Pablo. I never felt rushed. They were very thorough with questions as well as explaining the medicines we were given and was sure to tell us not to hesitate to call them if I needed to. I'll forever make this drive from here out. Knowing that my baby really mattered to them makes it all worth it.”
