If you own and love a pet dog or cat, or your animal companion is a bit more exotic — perhaps a rabbit, bird, guinea pig, hamster, lizard, snake or fish — Purdue University’s Small Animal Primary Care practice offers your pet the most up-to-date, progressive primary veterinary care available in Greater Lafayette.

We have recommended Purdue to both friends and family due to the excellent quality of care. Our pets have always been a big part of our lives, and we feel very fortunate to have such high-quality care available in our community.

Since its founding in 1959, Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine has, in its persistent pursuit of excellence and innovation, steadily advanced the practice of veterinary medicine. As a Small Animal Primary Care client, you become part of a community of exceptional people who together build on that legacy every day, united by a common pursuit of a better world for countless companion animals and the people who love them.

As soon as we walked in the door, we felt welcomed and part of the Small Animal Primary Care family. The clinic prides itself on knowing its pets and their families. We have had such positive experience with the vet nurses, student doctors and veterinarians. We have such gratitude towards the entire Small Animal Primary Care team!

  • We not only for dogs and cats, but a wide variety of exotic pets too.

We wanted the best people to help our dogs. The practitioners know us and our animals by name. They truly love them like we do. They are compassionate when you need to say good bye, and they know the most appropriate care and research being done with regard to treatments.
