The Large Animal Hospital provides specialized care for all species of large animals, including horses, camelids, sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, and utilizes the most recent diagnostic modalities and state-of-the-art technology for both diagnosis and treatment.

In addition to board-certified large animal internal medicine and theriogenology specialists, our hospital is fully staffed 24/7 by licensed veterinary technical support. Designed to handle the most-challenging cases, our facilities include a neonatal intensive care unit, an isolation unit for horses with infectious diseases, and specialized stalls for neurologic cases.
