Southside Animal Hospital

06/08/2026

Every so often, a cardboard box arrives filled with tiny paws, sleepy faces, and endless puppy breath.

Amid the bustle of a busy hospital, a litter of puppies has a way of making everyone pause, smile, and remember the simple joy that animals bring into our lives. We are thankful for every opportunity to care for our patients, from their very first puppy visits and beyond.

Today was one of those days that made our hospital feel especially full of cheer! Reach out to us if you’re looking for a new bundle of furry joy💖

We had a very special walk-in today…

Bigfoot himself showed up for a sick exam—turns out even legends aren’t immune to Louisiana allergies this time of year. He was a perfect gentleman, gave our Bentley some love, and only shed a little in the exam room.

After his visit, he walked out feeling better… and apparently a changed man— he left rocking Southside gear like a true fan. We love a loyal client.

Moral of the story: whether you’re covered in fur or just have a little extra… we’ve got you covered. 😉

Please help us welcome our newest veterinarian, Dr. Benge, to the team! She’ll be seeing patients Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, making it even easier for you to get the care your pets need.

Dr. Benge brings a wonderful energy to our clinic—she’s bubbly, compassionate, and truly loves connecting with both pets and their people. We know you are going to adore her just as much as we already do.

Appointments with Dr. Benge are now available—give us a call or book online to get on her schedule!

Welcome to the family, Dr. Benge! 💙🐶🐱

Happy birthday to our girl, Sydney! The only employee we’ve hired THREE times like she’s in her own seasonal contract era. At this point we don’t even say “Goodbye” — we just say “see ya soon.”

They say if you love something, let it go…and if it comes back, put it back on the payroll 😂

But seriously, we are so lucky to have someone as hard working, fun loving, compassionate, and downright irreplaceable as you (clearly since we keep replacing you with…you). The animals love you, our team needs you, and apparently we just can’t function without you.

Round 3 — and still our MVP. Happy Birthday Syd!!🐾🎉
