It’s the thing that all pet owners dread the most. The day that we have to extend that last act of love to our beloved companion. In those moments special attention to the details can bring extra Grace to the unbearable.

Our big hearted and multi talented Amber Wehner took it upon herself to seek out advanced training in companion animal euthanasia protocols and techniques. She has earned the designation of Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Professional (CPEP). We are proud of Amber and her pursuit of advanced training for veterinary excellence.

All of us at The Cooke Veterinary Medical Center remain steadfast in our commitment to providing world class medical care and healing arts to our patients. You can count on us throughout the entire cycle of your beloved pet’s life.

My Dad passed away 11 years ago today. He helped build Cooke Vet by hanging out with the construction workers and buying them lunch often. He watched out for his baby girl’s business ! We have always called our closet Eddie’s Closet! And the staff memorialized it recently! Thank you AJ and those involved !!

Boo Boo’s DNA!

09/17/2024

We don’t let our patients wake up from surgery without a friend (or 3) close by. Dr. Cronin took very good care of this handsome fella during, and after, surgery. This is why we don’t schedule surgeries one after another. Because we want each and every patient to get the attention that they deserve.

We love what we do, and we love who we do it for. We aren’t known as “the place for healing” for no reason!! ❤️🐾

Why work here?
Simply put, it’s different here! We are a locally and women owned business that is committed to staying that way. We have been serving this community since 2002 and have a long standing and steadily growing client base. Dr. Denette Cooke opened The Cooke Veterinary Medical Center in 2002 and designed the facility to be patient, employee and client friendly. While no medicine or treatment is always 100%, our commitment of utilizing a multi-modal approach of medical treatments certainly does work better than any individual approach on its own- from the newest Western advancement of surgical techniques or new medications and technology, to ancient evidence-based medicine such as acupuncture, food therapies, chiropractic manipulation, massage, and herbals. Simply put, we provide the treatment options that are best for the patient and the client. Our doctors are well versed in both Eastern and Western medicine and we have invested in cutting edge technology to assist our staff in providing world class treatment and care. We do all of this while maintaining a healthy, fun and vibrant culture and encourage work life balance for our staff. We recognize that our people are our most valuable asset and everything that we do begins with recruiting and retaining the top talents and skills in our area, and investing into them from the moment they join the team and throughout their career with us. We have extremely low turnover and we invest heavily back into our staff. As we grow, you grow.

The Cooke Vet team is here for you always! We are your partners in healing. But never forget that we are also your partners in prevention!!Sometimes preventable issues creep in slowly. And when left untreated for too long it can put the healers at a disadvantage in helping your beloved pets. What presents like a slight limp, itchy ears, or unusual behavior could potentially be telling us that there is more going on. We want to remind you that you don’t have to figure it out alone. Always remember that you have a team of healers here to help at any time. We would much rather catch something early and prevent a more costly and more painful emergency later🐾.
