Here, You're Family Request Appointment An advanced veterinary practice on a simple mission: to care for people like family, and to care for pets like our own. Because when your pet looks into your eyes, they see a hero. We'll help you care for them like one.

Your dog or cat doesn't just share a home with you. To you, they are family. The bond that you share is irreplaceable. The moments, the laughs, the licks, the love... it's priceless. We understand animal lovers here. We know how important it is to you to know that your pet is receiving truly exceptional care. We understand how much it means to you to feel, in your bones, that you are doing right by your pet. Through the happy times and the sad, the funny times and the worrisome times, and everything in between... we are here for you through it all. Because that's what family means. Welcome Home

Passion, Purpose, and Love We are animal lovers to our core. And to us, caring for your pet the right way is not a profession. It is our calling in life. We believe in giving your pet the same quality of medicine that you would want for any member of your family. And while the goal is simple, the road to get there is complex. It takes a deeply thorough approach to physical exams. It takes higher standards in medical workups, surgical procedures, and technology. And it takes a special kind of team... one who lives to care for you and your pet, and who works to get better every single day. So give us a call, and let us show you what higher standards mean. After all, we built this for you.

The Road Ahead

Everything we do is about making a positive impact in your life. Everything we do is about making sure your pet has the kind of care they deserve. The next step is to give us a call – we have two convenient locations for you to choose from. Our caring team will ask you a few questions about your pet’s health and will schedule an appointment time that is convenient for your schedule. During your visit, we will greet you warmly (after all, you’re family now), will care for your pet thoroughly, and will make sure that we take the time to really listen to you – because when you walk through our doors, your problems become our problems, your concerns become our concerns, and your goals become our goals. So give us a call now, and welcome to the family.

Dr. Westergaard is AMAZING. the staff are loving and caring. I can’t recommend Animal Clinic of Council Bluffs more. They get to know you and your furry friends.

I love every one at the clinic. They took such good care of my Bella after she swallowed medicine that fell on the floor. God bless those working hands.

My family and I have been taking our fur babies to Dr. Harrer for years now. I even moved out to La Vista and refuse to go anywhere besides this place because of how well treated my dog is by all the staff!
