Animal Hospital of Las Cruces

Animal Hospital of Las Cruces is a full-service veterinary clinic limited to dogs and cats. We provide a full range of services from puppy and kitten wellness examinations/vaccinations to emergency services, complete life-stage medical care, spay and neuter services, soft-tissue and orthopedic surgery, in-house labwork and digital radiography.

Animal Hospital of Las Cruces is fully accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Nationally, only approximately 15% of veterinary clinics meet the rigorous standards required to be AAHA accredited. We are proud of our accreditation with AAHA and the dedication to quality veterinary care that this membership represents. Animal Hospital of Las Cruces is dedicated to providing our clients and their pets with courteous, compassionate, and considerate care at all times. Our clients are counted as our friends and we are committed to giving your pet the same level of care and compassion that we want for our own pets!

We are conveniently located at 3171 N. Main Street, directly across from Lowe’s Home Improvement. We offer convenient hours by appointment, Mon. thru Fri. from 8:00 am until 12:00 noon, and 1:30 pm until 6:00 pm. We are happy to accomodate walk-ins while always trying to give our appointments first priority. Because of the nature of medicine, there may be times when emergencies and complicated cases take priority or require more time than anticipated. Be assured that our goal is to give each of our clients and patients the appropriate care and time necessary, while always being sensitive to your busy schedules. We will always try to see our clients/patients in a timely manner. For your convenience, we are open for walk-ins on Saturdays from 8:00 am until 12:00 noon. Be prepared for a wait on Saturdays, but please know we will do everything possible to see our patients as efficiently as possible.
