Welcome to Metairie Small Animal Hospital

Since 1946, Metairie Small Animal Hospital has helped to strengthen and lengthen the lives of animals, thereby bettering the lives of their human companions. From our humble beginnings of one visionary veterinarian and his brother wanting residents of New Orleans to have access to ethical, educated and reliable veterinary care, we have grown into one of the largest and most respected animal hospital networks in Louisiana. This includes our highly experienced veterinarian team of 15 full time doctors, and over 90 veterinary care support staff. Our team is spread across five satellite veterinary care facilities in Kenner, New Orleans and Metairie, as well as our Main Hospital on Metairie Road.

For over 70 years, our animal hospital network has provided comprehensive health care services to a diverse array of animals. We are thrilled to continually count the wags, purrs, pants, squeaks, and chirps of our patients, not to mention the beaming smiles on the faces of their human companions, as the tangible markers of our overwhelming success. To learn more about what our veterinarian team means to those we serve, please read our client testimonials—and we look forward to adding you to our ever-growing family of happy patients and satisfied customers!

Get to know your veterinarian

We have found the key to quality veterinary care is a combination of medical competence, empathy for pet owners and compassion for our animal companions. Our veterinarians will listen to your concerns, diagnose any medical conditions, help you understand your options and work with you to make the right decisions for you and your pet.

Emergency Vet Care

We understand that pet care emergencies can happen anytime of the day or night, and on any day of the year. The worst situation a pet owner can experience during a pet emergency is not having an animal hospital nearby to help treat and in many cases, save the life of their beloved family friend. This is why our Main Hospital on Metairie Road offers emergency vet care services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Our emergency vet care facilities are equipped to handle every kind of pet emergency, and our emergency vet care team has extensive experience treating a plethora of pet-related emergency medical situations. Because accidents do not take holidays, weekends, nights or any other time off, neither do we. Our emergency vet care team has helped thousands of patients and their human companions over the years and we are here for you whenever you need us.

We try to make scheduling a veterinary clinic appointment as convenient as possible for you. There are several ways to easily schedule an appointment for your pet to be seen at our veterinary clinics:

Or, if you are in the neighborhood, please stop by any one of our veterinary clinic locations to schedule an appointment for your pet. If you have any general contact inquiries for a veterinarian or our veterinary care support staff, please visit our contact page to get in touch with a member of our pet hospital staff.
