04/02/2024

After much consideration, our clinic will be closed Friday April 5th and Saturday April 6th due to the very large music event at Lamar Dixon.

Our area (and especially the I-10 exit of S. Burnside/HWY 44) is expected to sustain severe traffic congestion and possible road closures, making travel to and from our clinic very difficult. Gonzales has never hosted an event of this scale and we ask for your understanding as we and other local businesses navigate the upcoming traffic challenges.

02/12/2024

We are closed today (2/12) for Mardi Gras, we will resume normal hours tomorrow (2/13). We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!!💜🎭💚

11/23/2023

Happy Thanksgiving from our doctors and staff!!
Just a reminder we will be closed today and tomorrow. We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday! 💛🤎

11/20/2023

We will be CLOSED Thursday 11/23 and Friday 11/24 for Thanksgiving. Give us a call if you need to get your pet seen or medication refilled before the holiday.

ATTENTION CLIENTS - WE ARE ENDING OUR BOARDING SERVICES IN JAN 2024

Starting now, we will be unable to accept any new clients for boarding. We will honor all existing reservations through the end of the year, but after January 8, 2024 we will no longer be able to provide any boarding services.

We are blessed to have a growing patient list, but this means our demand for medical and surgical care has increased exponentially. In order to provide our clients with adequate surgery availability and comprehensive healthcare, we have to re-allocate our cages/kennels for this purpose. Shifting our resources allows us to provide medical and surgical care to a greater number of pets when the need arises. We have truly loved boarding your pets these 10+ years and will miss caring for them in that capacity. We look forward to continuing our relationship as your veterinary care provider and we thank you for your support!

Happy Halloween, from all of us at Andermann! We will be closing at 5:00 today to give our staff time with their families. We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday! 🐈‍⬛🎃

For every soul you have given a voice to.
For every x-ray you have taken.
For every family event you have missed.
For every bandage you have wrapped.

For every wild dog nail trim you have performed.
For every cage you have cleaned.
For every overtime hour you have logged.
For every client you've educated.
For every vial of blood you have drawn.
For every time you were peed or pooped on.
For every lunch break you've sacrificed.
For every bruise and bite you have received.
For every team member you've trained.
For every pet owner you have comforted.
For every surgery you have monitored anesthesia for.
For every skill you have mastered.
For every colleague you have inspired.
For every life you saved.
For every single thing that you do.
