I had called and talked to one of the nurses about taking my cat Stella in, I had told her that she was sick and possibly had some sort of cancer/infection in her mouth and wasnt doing so well. So i made an appointment the next day for 10am. My sister and I arrived about 20 minutes early, hoping wed be seen sooner, considering my cat was very ill. We werent. We had dogs who were being dropped off for boarding, cats who needed baths, seen before my sick cat. Already, I was a bit irritated. We waited about half an hour, payed almost 40$ just to state the obvious. That my cat was going to need extensive care and she was slowly dying. Before we left this place that day, I had asked about euthanization, and what time a doctor would be here the next day for that. She told me 9:00am. No problem. Took my cat home, let her live her last day to the fullest. Now this was a bit of my fault, I didnt really set an appointment for the next day. So the next day comes, its 8:20am, I called, spoke to a different nurse on the phone, and asked if we could come in at 9:00am, and have Stella be put to sleep. She tells me the earliest a doctor could be in was 10. Alittle bamboozled there, but she was able to pull some strings, very grateful for that. We bring in Stella, fill out the paper work, and Dr. WESLEY COCHRAN. The most heartless doctor took care of our cat. He came in and did another exam on her, telling us about his 40+ year experience and how she had all these things wrong with her. Not only was she was freaked out, but so was I. I told him that we were putting her to sleep, and that id already filled out the paperwork. He left the little vet office, came back with the formula, and we slowly waited for her to pass. -Now keep in mind, it wasnt me there. My grandma, sister (who was bawling her eyes out) and my older brother was there too- HE can back in the third and final time, picking her up, laying her on her side. JUST COMPLETE HEARTLESS ACTIONS. He couldnt have waited to do that, after we left?!!! Were sobbing in that room, and not once does he ask if we were okay. Had to ask him to get us some tissues. NEVER COMING BACK. The staff was ight, The one doctor we had the previous day was fantastic, wish i could have grabbed her name, but the rest. Was a complete JOKE. If you cared about your pets, take the extra 15 minute drive to the vet hospital near belcher and nebraska. Atleast they have a heart.

My relative took our pets to here for years. But the minute I took my sick cat here, this vet yelled at me in the office because of a $100 past due bill that was NOT even mine, but I paid it anyway. After that rude uncalled for ordeal, I was told my indoor 5 yr old cat had 3 different diagnosis------metal was in his stomach, then pancreatis, then maybe cancer. In 3 days, I got 3 different diagnoses. Then, day 4 this vet refused treatment on my cat because he said my INSIDE cat (he NEVER went outside) scratched his tech and his rabies shot was just over a year old. He told me he had to keep my inside cat locked up for an additional week at his office, just to see if he had rabies. Meanwhile, my 5 yr old pet was dying for an unknown illness and this vet did not care. As I was in tears, Dr Cocheran complained to me that he was angry because he had to pay for fluids to keep my cat alive for rabies testing. What a cruel statement. My cat suffered for almost 2 weeks with NO CORRECT DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT just to find out that he did not have rabies. By then, my pet was worse and had to be euthanized.

I have been taking my animals (cats and dogs) to Dr. Cochran at Anclote Animal Hospital for many years now. He is, by far, one of the most knowledgeable and caring vets in the area. When he renders a veterinarian opinion, it is an opinion I know I can trust as being in the best interest of my animal. Recently, he saved the life of my sweet girl Zoie by performing emergency surgery well after hours. A few years ago, he performed a complicated hip surgery on my handsome boy Buck who remains ones of the most active dogs of my pack. He and his staff consistently treat my animals with the upmost care and attention. The hospital, exam rooms and kennel areas are always clean. I am grateful to have such a wonderful vet so close to my home who cares about my animals as much as myself.

Like most dog owners our pups are our babies!!! Dr Cochran came highly recommended to us from a client when we got our last puppy as we were not fully satisfied with our current vet. I can honestly say the entire office makes you feel like family and treats our pups as if they were their own. Dr Cochran spends the time answering any and all questions you may have, where as past vets we have had come in looked at our dog then leave and send in the tech. If your looking for a new vet for your babies look no further!!! They are simply the best!!!

I have been taking my baby (dog) to Ancolte Animal Hospital for 7 years. Dr. Cochran and staff are simply amazing! He goes above and beyond for his clients and Ive never left their clinic with unanswered questions or concerns. He helped my pup with neck/back pains, surgeries, itchy skin and so much more! We have entered our senior years in doggie years and he has helped make sure my baby is on the perfect regimen for a long and healthy life!

My wife and I have been taking our 2 dogs to Dr Cochran for 12 years and the staff have always provided excellent care. Dr Juaristic is wonderful as well. They both take the time to give you thorough information about your pets issues and they always give them the utmost care. I highly recommend this animal hospital to anyone who wants their pets to receive great treatment.

Very blessed to have Dr.s and staff treat our animals as if they are family. I have seen nothing but compassion and total professionalism from all that work at the hospital. Great Animal Hospital.

My cat was ill. I managed to get a same day appointment. She diagnosed his problem. The doctor and her team gave me options based on my budget. My cat is better! I greatly appreciated the service.
