Our Community

There’s no such thing as a University Veterinary Hospital “customer” or “client.” Instead, we serve our friends and neighbors who entrust UVH with the health of their four-legged family members. Lucky us.

The Northwest Louisiana Food Pantry provides pet food for low-income families. UVH is proud to support their noble mission with matching food donations that are brought to the practice. UVH team members package and deliver the food to needing families and their pets at the Food Pantry on a monthly basis. Any food or monetary donations brought to UVH for the pet pantry will be matched by UVH.

UVH in the news

Our own UVH doctors appear bi-weekly Tuesday mornings on the NBC 6 Homeshow at 6 am to provide pet care information and tips, so be sure to tune in.

UVH is a proud sponsor of PEP!, which teaches kids how to be responsible pet owners and parents through events, adventures and simple learning sessions.
