Cotati Large Animal Hospital

Cotati, California
General Info
Cotati Large Animal Hospital in Cotati offers California pet owners a veterinary care approach that spans developmental stages while providing adaptability. Appointments emerge through attentive listening to the pet's behavior alongside household routines and family observations on a weekly basis. Initial visits involve comprehensive physical examinations that assess dental health along with gait analysis and joint range measurements while checking eye condition, hydration status, and nervous system responses. Owners have the ability to communicate recent behavioral patterns including alterations in eating habits, sleeping patterns, and handling tolerance. These patterns help define care pacing without forcing decisions too soon. Cotati Large Animal Hospital provides preventive care diagnostic panels weight tracking surgical consults senior wellness services and chronic condition coaching. Plans customize to each family's specific living conditions whether they reside in urban apartments facing new noise challenges or households with multiple pets at various life stages. Transition strategies help owners feel confident as their pet’s needs shift from prevention to monitoring or from short-term fixes to long-term balance. All steps are described in straightforward language while progress is tracked through essential factors such as behavioral consistency and ease of home care along with preparedness for future visits. Instead of burdening families with numerous tasks, the team distributes responsibilities over time through flexible schedules and optional check-in opportunities. Cotati Large Animal Hospital delivers veterinary services to families in Cotati and across California that align with the natural rhythm of pet life through a responsive organized approach anchored in shared progress.

Wonderful vets. Great care from them after my older dog was attached by another dog. Received good care for our barn cats and my puppy.

Cotati Large Animal Hospital is simply outstanding. We have a small ranch in Sonoma County with 7 Llamas and 22 sheep. The vets at this Hospital do house calls to our place several times a year, and on occasion, I have brought very sick animals in for emergency treatment. Several of our llamas are rescues and have more than their share of ailments. Dr. Dotti has not only treated and helped our animals, he has provided us with an education on the proper care of llamas and sheep over the years for which we are very greatful. Dr. Wirz is a newer member of the Hospital, who also has expertise on llamas,  I think we have seen or been visited by Dr. Wirz 4 times and he is also very good with our animals. It's great to have kind, caring professionals that you can depend on. Read Less

About a month ago I got three little 'teacup' pigs off craigslist. The gal I talked to was actually in Texas, but the pigs were down in Little Saigon with her father. Turned out I didn't really get much info on them because the family in San Jose didn't speak English. After a week, it became apparent I had a boy and 2 girls. Another week passed and suddenly the boy (Pickle) became a sexual monster, humpy, aggressive and single-mindedly focused on his little pickle. I got a lot of referrals from friends in my rural neighborhood, but none of these vets would see pigs! Finally, I found this place. They are so professional, so affordable and so nice! What a relief! Pickle was castrated 2 weeks ago, and today the girls were seen to terminate any pregnancies (they are too young), and again, I am so impressed with this remarkably clean place and their staff. Oh, and teacup pigs are just runts paired with runts of the pot-belly variety for their small size. Read Less

I sincerely appreciate the dedication of this group. I've had popped splints, euthanasia, impacted fox tails in the cheek, an eye infection, colic, neglect related thrush, a neglect related t-post wound, puppy-mill giardia, vaccinations, worms, and, of course, Valkyrie's foaling of Buck. Oh, and Buck's castration! ... mustn't forget that procedure! WOW! These doctors and their staff are very knowledgeable, kind in handling and behavior of both me and my animals. They're prompt and thorough; having educated me on a litany of animal health care issues.The security of my loyalty stems from when Larry and I poked our heads in during the 2008 Equus Awards banquet -- just in time to hear Dr. Harland receive the Equus Award. It was so nice to see the man who is so good with animals acknowledge his staff and colleagues for their support and partnership, thanking them publicly and accepting the award on their behalf as well. Not only did that speak loudly to the gentleman at the podium, but to the entire group at Cotati Large Animal Hospital. So often 'animal people' have wretched social skills, but I've yet to meet anyone disagreeable from Cotati Large Animal Hospital (if you read my other reviews, you will decipher the importance I place on common decency).Bravo, CLA. Please stay the course. Read Less
