Our History, Our Future, Our Goals
Over 75 years ago, Dr. Ted Boevers established the
veterinary practice that is now known as Lafayette Animal Hospital. Since
that time, our hospital has been staffed by many talented and dedicated
people who have consistently worked toward one goal, to provide the best
possible medical and surgical care for our patients. At the start of the
21st century, our veterinarians and support personnel remain dedicated to
this goal. We are honored that our clients trust us to provide medical
care for their family pets. We treat our patients as if they were our own.
We hope the information on this site helps our current clients in managing
the health needs of their pets. For those who are considering using our
services for the first time, we hope this helps to introduce us. Our Hours
Our hospital opens at 7:00 a.m., Monday through
Friday, for the convenience of those who need to drop their pets off for
examination or treatment. A contact telephone number then allows the
attending doctor to reach the owner after the pet's exam. Our appointment
schedule begins at 8:00 a.m., Monday through Saturday. Closing is at 6:00
p.m. weekdays and 1:00 p.m. Saturdays. For after hours emergencies, see
the "In An Emergency" section of this web site. We very much appreciate
your scheduling appointments for routine health exams. We do our very best
to see all appointments in a timely fashion. If you prefer, your
appointment can be scheduled with a specific clinician. However, when a
problem comes up suddenly, we will fit you into the schedule as quickly as
possible Boarding animals can be dropped off or picked up at any time
during our business hours. Services We Offer
