Overview
A full-service small animal clinic caring for Northeast Nebraska's pets since 1970, independently and woman-owned by Dr. Whitney Tramp since 2022. Companion Animal is a full-service small animal clinic, which means we can care for your dog or cat through every stage of life, all in one place in Norfolk. From routine wellness visits to advanced surgery, dental work, and emergencies, our four veterinarians pair modern equipment with the personal attention that comes from a locally owned clinic
When Dr. Robert Hartley opened Companion Animal Veterinary Clinic in 1970, the idea was simple: give the families of Norfolk and Northeast Nebraska a place they could trust with the pets they love. More than fifty years later, that's still exactly who we are. In 2017, veterinarian Dr. Whitney Tramp joined the team and fell for the clinic, its clients, and the community it served. So when the chance came to take ownership in 2022, she didn't hesitate. Today, Companion Animal is proudly independent, locally owned, and woman-owned, with Dr. Tramp leading a team of four veterinarians caring for the region's pets. Since 2022, we've invested in advanced anesthesia monitoring, digital dental X-rays, new services like acupuncture, and ongoing training for our whole team. What hasn't changed is everything that matters most: the familiar faces at the front desk, the time we take to learn you and your pet by name, and our commitment to this community
