Hospitals and Services
For more than a century, the College of Veterinary Medicine has served the community by providing care to large and small animals in Minnesota.
We also provide consultation and services for veterinarians, and have trained many of Minnesota's veterinarians and veterinary medicine professionals. We provide care to pets and companion animals, horses, farm animals, some zoo animals, and birds through our state-of-the art Veterinary Medical Center, West Metro Equine Practice, and Raptor Center clinic.
