Overview
A full-functioning Animal Hospital with the ability to see emergencies during business hours. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of veterinary medicine along with friendly, compassionate service
Dr. Cottingham along with the help of his wife, Caroline, and two employees began Kitty Hawk Animal Hospital in 1985. The veterinary practice has grown in the intervening years to over 25 support personnel and 5 additional doctors. One of those doctors is Dr. Amie Hooper, Dr. Cottingham and Caroline's daughter. With 33 years of continued growth and much prayer and consideration, we have decided to open a second location. One far enough away from the current location to serve a whole new community of pet owners, but close enough to give some relief to the Kitty Hawk facilities. Returning to the home page: 'Proudly serving the San Antonio area for over 35 years! We are proud to serve Cibolo, Schertz, Selma, New Braunfels, Marion, Garden Ridge, as well as other surrounding areas.'
Mission — The Family Practice for Pets. We will always strive to the best of our abilities to provide the best quality care for both our patients and their owners. We will continue to provide high-touch, high-standard care, with cutting edge technology and with our Kitty Hawk location, even add more onsite resources
