Purdue University Small Animal Hospital

Purdue University Small Animal Hospital is an animal hospital in West Lafayette, IN. It operates as part of the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, providing advanced veterinary care on the university's West Lafayette campus. It holds a rating of 3.20.

The hospital is one of three facilities housed within the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, alongside the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory and the Caesars Entertainment Equine Specialty Hospital. The Small Animal Hospital was greatly expanded in 2022 with the dedication of the new David and Bonnie Brunner Purdue Veterinary Medical Hospital Complex, which also added a completely new Equine Hospital and Farm Animal Hospital. The college is a major hub for veterinary education, scientific discovery, and advanced referral services for the diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases. It educates all members of the veterinary team, offering the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, bachelor's and associate degrees in Veterinary Technology, post-graduate internships and residencies for specialty training, and graduate degrees in Basic Medical Sciences, Comparative Pathobiology, or Veterinary Clinical Sciences. Career listings indicate openings for veterinary technicians in emergency and critical care, large animal hospital, oncology, ophthalmology, and small animal surgery, reflecting the breadth of clinical services on site.

The hospital sits on Harrison Street, with the Veterinary Medical Library about 0.1 miles away and the Purdue Jules Janick Horticulture Garden a short walk to the east. Mitch Daniels Boulevard is roughly 0.3 miles from the facility, and the Hicks Undergraduate Library is about a third of a mile away on the surrounding university campus.

As a teaching hospital within a major research university, the Small Animal Hospital combines referral-level clinical care with the resources of one of the few veterinary colleges in the country that trains every member of the veterinary team.
