Overview

We provide everyday care you can count on. From wellness exams and vaccinations to surgery, diagnostics, and farm calls. Whether it’s a routine visit or something that needs attention, we’re here to help you take care of your animals

Pleasant View Animal Clinic has been part of the community since 1972, when it was founded by Dr. Gordon Gilbert. Since the beginning, the practice has remained in the same location and has continued to grow alongside the families and farms it serves. We’ve always been a family-owned clinic, and that’s something we’re proud of. Over the years, while veterinary medicine has changed and advanced, our approach has stayed the same: provide honest, dependable care and treat people and their animals with respect. As medicine has evolved, so have we. We continue to invest in updated technology and ongoing education so we can offer the level of care our patients deserve, while still keeping things practical and straightforward. What sets us apart is our connection to the community. We know that every situation is different, and we work with our clients to find the best path forward for their animals while balancing quality care with what’s realistic for each family. At the end of the day, we’re here to support you and help you take care of the animals that matter to you

What reviewers say

80% Positive sentiment
based on 657 reviews

This independent veterinary practice is widely recognized for providing exceptionally affordable care for a wide range of animals, from household pets to large livestock and horses. The team of doctors and assistants is frequently described as deeply caring, knowledgeable, and thorough in their explanations. The clinic successfully handles urgent medical needs and provides reliable emergency response. However, due to its high popularity and heavy patient volume, the office experiences significant operational friction, including long wait times, occasional difficulties in scheduling or reaching staff by phone, and concerns regarding inconsistent diagnoses and customer service interactions.
