Comprehensive, Compassionate Care for Your Pet

Since opening our doors in 1996, Westside Animal Hospital has proudly provided quality, compassionate veterinary care to pets and their families in Cartersville and the surrounding communities. As an AAHA-accredited veterinary clinic, we adhere to the highest standards of veterinary medicine to ensure your pet receives exceptional care at every visit.

Our Story

Dr. Lisa Walker joined the Westside Animal Hospital team in 2001, bringing her passion for animal health and client relationships to our practice. In 2003, Dr. Walker became the proud owner of the hospital, and further solidified her commitment to providing unparalleled care to the pets and families in our community.

Our entire team believes that your pets are more than just companions—they’re family. That’s why we strive to treat every patient with the same level of care, respect, and compassion we’d want for our own pets.


Our Mission

At Westside Animal Hospital, we strive to set a high standard of care that emphasizes commitment, quality, compassion, and communication. This means we:

  • Provide comprehensive and compassionate care tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
  • Offer convenient and accessible services to make your experience as stress-free as possible.
  • Foster a strong partnership with pet owners through open communication and education.

We are dedicated to being a trusted partner in your pet’s health, from their playful puppy and kitten years to their golden senior days.
