Our Services
Report
For many reasons, some clients find that they are unable to travel with their pets or have a medical emergency that requires someone else to care for their pets.
Westside Veterinary Clinic is pleased to offer only the best boarding services for your pet during their stay at our facilities.
We offer separate areas for dogs and cats, keeping them separated during exercise and feeding times as well.
This eliminates undue stress on a pet that is not used to another species of domestic pet.
All pets are kept in comfortable, climate controlled kennels.

Staff
Report
My name is Debbie Hartsfield and I have worked in the veterinary field since 1990.
I actually started my career here at Westside Veterinary Clinic working for Drs Bert and Sally.
My husband's career in the Army moved us to Texas in 1993.
I continued to work at a veterinary clinic there and trained to be a veterinary technician.
I find it very rewarding to work with pets and their families.
My goal is to help pets live a good quality life for as long as they can.
When we moved back to DeRidder I returned to work at Westside Veterinary Clinic.

Dermatology
Report
Persistent scratching, biting and licking by your pet is not necessarily a sign of good grooming habits.
It may be indicative of skin allergies or other skin diseases.
Westside Veterinary Clinic has numerous years of experience in diagnosing, treating and managing skin conditions brought on by different causes.
Usually treatment starts with testing, which is most likely a skin scraping taken by our doctors and examined under a microscope.
If needed, we are able to send the samples off for a more detailed examination in a qualified laboratory.
