About Us
Since 1974, Hill Country Animal Hospital has provided the finest veterinary medicine and compassionate care to pets in Copperas Cove, TX and surrounding areas. Our mission is to heal pets and help people and we strive to provide all our patients with advanced veterinary care, compassion and respect.
Your pet receives state-of-the-art veterinary care at Hill Country Animal Hospital. For your pet's safety and well-being, we use advanced laser surgery technology for many routine procedures. The benefits associated with laser surgery are less bleeding during surgery, less pain and quicker recovery time for your pet. Since most procedures are performed in-house, you are not inconvenienced by the need to travel to a veterinary specialty hospital for surgery. Along with the benefits for you, there are benefits for your pet as well. He or she does not experience the added stress associated with a visit to an unfamiliar veterinary hospital.
Our caring staff understands your pet's needs and we try to make his or her hospital experience as comfortable as possible. For your pet's safety, we use state-of-the-art monitoring devices during all surgeries. Our diagnostic services include an extensive in-house laboratory and the latest radiology equipment, all used in order to quickly and accurately diagnose your pet's problems.
Dr. Kruse and the staff at Hill Country Animal Hospital work closely with the Copperas Cove community. For several years, the hospital has been voted "Best in Cove" by local newspapers. Dr. Kruse serves as the inspecting veterinarian for the city's animal shelter and is a member of the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce. We perform spays and neuters for adoptable pets at the Cen-Tex/Second Chance Animal Shelter and contribute to the Clips for Cans Holiday Food Drive, which benefits the Copperas Cove Salvation Army.
We encourage you to play an important role in your pet's health. We believe that client education is important and our entire staff is available to answer any questions you may have about your pet's health care. We are pet owners ourselves and we understand the bond you share with your faithful companion. It is our goal to strengthen and preserve that bond, now and for years to come.
About Our Medical Records
