Our Facility

We have a beautiful NEW facility that is a dream to come to, and to work in! We relocated down the hill, just past the two gorgeous live oaks. We used some “green” building techniques during the construction, including metal lifetime roof, which reflects heat to make cooling easier.  We use all digital xray, which cuts down on chemicals in the environment. Long lasting “smart flooring” which is completely sealed and requires fewer chemicals. Our outdoor environment is full of native plants and uses water runoff basin to capture rain runoff.

Our Staff

We know you like consistency of care.  Our doctors are here for the long term.  Our senior receptionist has been with us 10 years.  Our technicians and kennel staff are well trained, love animals and are smart: we have helped many continue on to veterinary school.

Our History

Highland Road Animal Hospital has been serving South Baton Rouge for over 40 years, and has the remarkable accomplishment of having been an AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) hospital for nearly 30 years! Dr. Randy Thayer opened the hospital in 1968, to offer quality care to the pets of the Highland Road and Kenilworth areas. The area has grown since then, and so has the practice. Dr. Carrie Fox joined the practice in 1995, and transitioned to owner in 2002. Dr. Thayer retired in 2004, and Dr. Adrian Bergeron was added as a partner in 2008. We have continued with Dr. Thayer’s original goals of exceptional veterinary care, and added some new ones: our outstanding new facility opened in November 2010. We are committed to quality health care for your pet. Our clients return to find compassion, answers, and genuine love for their pets.

AAHA Importance to You and Your Pet

 

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is an international association of veterinary care providers who treat companion animals. Established in 1933, AAHA is well-known among veterinarians and pet owners for its high standards in veterinary practices and quality pet care.

 

AAHA is the only organization that accredits animal hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada and only 3,300 animal hospitals have achieved the high standards required for accreditation. Receiving accreditation means that an animal hospital choose to be evaluated on 900 standards in the following areas: quality of care, diagnostic and pharmacy, management, medical records, and facility.

 

Highland Road Animal Hospital has been accredited for almost 30 years.  It is one of 4 veterinary hospitals that are accredited in Baton Rouge area and it is one of only 900 veterinary hospitals that have been accredited for over 25 years. AAHA accreditation is part of Highland Road Animal Hospital’s commitment to remain on the leading edge of veterinary medicine and provide the quality and range of  services that you and your pet deserve.
