A country vet Cortland can count on
We're a down-to-earth clinic where pets and farm animals get gentle hands, honest advice, and care that feels like it's coming from a neighbor.
Cortland Animal Hospital sits right on West Lincoln Highway, caring for the dogs and cats on your porch and the animals out in the field. Whether it's a first puppy visit, a worrisome cough, or a herd that needs a once-over, we take the time to explain your options in plain language.
Country life moves with the seasons, and so do we. We're happy to see you in the clinic or load up the truck for a ranch call — whatever keeps your animals healthy, comfortable, and working alongside you for years to come.

Questions
Common Questions
Do you take walk-ins or do I need an appointment?
We work best by appointment so we can give each animal real attention. For a sick pet or urgent concern, message us and we'll do our best to fit you in.
Do you really come out to the farm or ranch?
Yes. We load up the truck for on-site visits to horses, cattle, sheep, and goats — routine herd work, sick animals, and seasonal care right at your place.
How much will my visit cost?
Many services start at a posted price, while others depend on your animal's needs. We'll talk through honest options upfront, with no upselling and no surprises.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring any past records, vaccine history, and a list of current foods or medications. For nervous pets, a leash or carrier helps keep the visit calm.
Do you speak Spanish?
We're glad to help Spanish-speaking neighbors and will do our best to make sure you fully understand your animal's care and options.
What are your hours?
We're open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to noon. We're closed Sundays.
