OUR TEAM

At Bowman Road Animal Clinic, our number one priority is your pet’s health and happiness. We focus on proactive healthcare so we can keep small issues from becoming larger, long-term health concerns. 

Each member of our staff has been chosen for their medical expertise and professionalism – but also for their compassion and their passion for animals. Our goal is to treat each pet that comes through our doors like it was our own – and that means doing anything possible to make them comfortable and happy. Most of our staff have pets of their own, and they wouldn’t trust their care to any other facility. 

We offer the best veterinary and surgical care available at our West Little Rock vet clinic. So you can rest easy when you leave your pet in our care.

The Bowman Road Animal Clinic Family

We pride ourselves on our high levels of communication, compassion, and care. Our West Little Rock vet clinic staff is approachable, knowledgeable, and highly trained to ensure that your pet is receiving the best care possible. If you ever have questions about your pet’s health, nutrition, or well-being you can always ask us. We would love to help you create a well-rounded, long-term care plan to keep your pet happy, healthy, and with you for as long as possible. 

Because we also offer boarding services, we’re always happy to give you a tour of the facilities! Call ahead or just drop in and we’ll show you around. We want to make sure that you and your pet feel completely comfortable.* 

*Because we are a veterinary medical and surgical office – as well as having an onsite lab – there will be some rooms that are off-limits to guarantee sterility, privacy, or rest for recovering patients. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Why Do I Need a Regular Vet for My Pet?

Many people only take their pets to the vet when they’re sick or injured, but your pet needs more than that to stay healthy. Just like you, your pet should have regular wellness checkups and be on a schedule for vaccines, dental cleanings, and other preventative health services. 

When your pet sees the vet regularly, your vet develops a baseline for your pet’s health stats that allows them to notice when something is out of the ordinary. It’s also helpful for your pet’s mental health to see the same vet and visit the same clinic regularly because familiarity decreases the stress of a vet visit. 

Proactive Pet Health and Wellness

Owning a pet is a privilege and a joy, but it also comes with a lot of responsibility. As your pet’s owner, it’s your job to make sure they are happy, safe and healthy. One of the easiest ways to ensure that your pet is healthy is with regular checkups and a plan for preventative care. 

Preventative care means protecting your pet from health problems before they happen. When you approach healthcare in this way, you don’t have to go through the much more painful and expensive process of treatment. 

For example, keeping up with your pet’s vaccines and flea treatments can keep them from contracting serious illnesses like rabies or heartworms. We’ll always keep you informed of what preventative treatments your pet will need, and how often, to keep them in tip-top condition!

Your West Little Rock Vet Clinic

As vets, we know that many pets don’t enjoy visiting the clinic. It can be a stressful experience – there are a lot of overwhelming, new smells and it’s an unfamiliar place. If they’ve been to the clinic before, they may associate the clinic with shots, or surgery, or not feeling good. 

That’s why we put so much effort into making Bowman Road Animal Clinic a place your pet is excited to visit. Our staff is trained on how to gently handle stressed animals to calm them and minimize their stress. We also make sure that everything is sanitized and sparkling clean to reduce scary smells. 

The good news is that the more often your pet comes to see us, the more comfortable and familiar they will become with the staff and the facility. And the more they’ll associate us with feeling better. And for the really tough cases, we always have a few treats in our pockets!

At Bowman Road Animal Clinic, we put our best into every service that we offer. From medical and surgical to boarding and grooming, we know that making your pet happy is the best way to make you happy. 

Emergency Vet West Little Rock

Our clinic offers emergency veterinary consultations and services. We have trained emergency staff onsite and we also have our own surgical site and in-house lab, so you won’t have to waste time taking your pet to a secondary location if they need more serious medical attention. 

We know it’s scary when your pet is seriously injured or ill, but you can take a little peace of mind knowing that they’re being cared for by the best vet clinic West Little Rock has. 

Other Services 

Pet Exams and Consultations

We also offer pet exams and consultations as well as general wellness checkups. Our veterinarians will examine your pet, record their vitals, and prescribe treatment as needed.

Surgery and Labs

We have an in-house laboratory and surgical team so you don’t have to wait longer than necessary for results. Surgery is always a last resort, but when it’s needed, you want to get started as quickly as possible. 

Pet Boarding

We offer overnight and day boarding for all pets. We always customize our care plans to your pet’s unique needs. If you have any special feeding, grooming or socializing needs, just let us know! We’re happy to work with you. 

And you can rest easy knowing that if your pet were to become ill while you’re away, they’re already here with the best vet clinic in West Little Rock!

Grooming

We are also partnered with Classy Canine Cuts to provide high-quality grooming to keep your pet looking and feeling their best. Reduce shedding and protect your furniture and floors from scratches with regular grooming services.

Our full-service clinic has been serving Little Rock residents since 1997, and we can’t wait to meet your pets!
