    What Our clients say

    We are happy to take our cat, Allison, to White Bear Animal Hospital. We receive five-star treatment at every visit. We feel that it is the best animal hospital in the NE suburbs. Allison is getting the best care possible from your team. Thank you!

    AS

    I bring both of my dogs to WBAH. Dr. Dalton gives excellent care and advice, the front desk people are super friendly and I can get an appointment when it’s convenient for me. I moved to another city and still bring my dogs back to Dr. Dalton. Hands down the best vet I’ve ever had!

    LT

    I got my cat Monte from a rescue shelter in 10/2008 and he ended up having multiple medical ailments that needed to be treated. The staff at the White Bear Animal Hospital was extremely thorough with their care and treatment for my cat, which was greatly appreciated by me as a new cat owner. Over the past few years I have continued to take my cat here and have never been disappointed. When I come prepared with a list of seemingly random and possibly silly questions about my cats health they always take the time to methodically answer each question and treat me and my cat with respect. Im thankful for the WBAH and all the care theyre give me and my cat!

    LR

    Yes, we are very happy with your service and pet care. We have been coming to your clinic for almost 11 years now. I only wish you also did the grooming as Lino Lakes is quite a drive and your staff is better acquainted with Rudy. He is much calmer around you than them. Thank you.

    JM

    After traveling to St. Paul for Veterinary Services, we were fortunate to locate White Bear Animal Hospital. Over the years, Dr. Dalton has cared for and treated our various pets with compassion we wouldn’t dream of changing clinics. We are always made to feel that our appointment is important and never feel “rushed.” BS and

    ES

    We have been bringing our cats to your clinic since 1995. Although there have been some changes in the last few years, we still believe that the doctors and staff at this clinic are the best at taking care of our cats. I have never felt like my questions or concerns were not important (quite the opposite!). Everyone goes out of their way to talk to us and help us with any situation that may come up (with four cats that can sometimes be a lot!). We would both like to thank you for your care and concern of our babies! Keep up the good work! DH and

From heartwarming patient moments and staff spotlights to community events and behind-the-scenes glimpses of life at the clinic, we love sharing what makes our hospital feel like home.
    • Happy Dog Biscuit Day! 🦴 In Crumbs We Trust!

We’re celebrating National Dog Biscuit Day ALL week long… because one day just isn’t enough. 😉

Did you know dog biscuits date back to the mid-1800s? A British electrician named James Spratt created the first commercial dog biscuit after noticing dogs snacking on leftover ship biscuits at a dock, and a crunchy tradition was born!

This handsome guy is Oliver, here for his annual exam. He’s been coming to see us since he was a puppy, and four years later, he still LOVES visiting his friends at the clinic and a treat for always being the "gooodest boy"!

🦴 Want to join the fun?
• Treat your pup or kitty to their favorite (vet-approved!) snack
• Try a new enrichment toy with treat rewards
• Bake a dog-safe homemade treat
• Drop off a bag of treats to your local shelter

Now it’s your turn!
📲 Share a photo in your stories and tag us, or comment below and tell us your pet’s favorite treat!

    • Continuing education is a big part of how we make sure the care your pets receive is thoughtful, current, and rooted in the best medicine available. 

Recently, members of our team spent time learning alongside colleagues from around the country, bringing new ideas, skills, and perspectives back home to White Bear.

🐾 Dr. Dalton attended VMX 2026 in Orlando, Florida—the largest veterinary conference in the country (and possibly the world 🌎). Over four days, he completed 28 hours of continuing education covering topics like pancreatitis, dermatology, dentistry, diabetes, chronic pain management, cat behavior, and emerging therapies, including CBD and medicinal mushrooms.

🐾 Dr. Lohmer, along with a former colleague, attended a continuing education conference in Las Vegas focused on advanced urinary, abdominal, and oncology surgical techniques.

🐾 Dr. Zupancich participated in an all-day leadership continuing education event in St. Paul through the Zoetis Partnership Retreat, focused on practice leadership and team development.

🐾 Jess and Mel, two of our Certified Veterinary Technicians, attended the VHA Expo to continue building their skills and knowledge as part of our care team.

We believe great veterinary care doesn’t stand still, and neither do we. Everything we learn helps us better support the pets and people who trust us every day.

    • ❤️ Keeping Pets & Families Together ❤️

Sometimes families are faced with difficult choices, and no one should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding the pet they love.

That’s why we are proud to serve as a collection site for the Vinny’s Angels Pet Food Drive from February 15th through March 31st right here in our lobby.

Your donation of unopened pet food or supplies can make a direct difference in helping pets stay in the homes where they are deeply loved.

Items Needed: 
✅Bagged Pet Food
✅Canned Pet Food
✅Cat Litter
✅Pet Supplies

Together, we can support our community and help keep tails wagging and purrs going strong.

    • Whisker kisses really are the best kisses! ❤️

Meet Candy, a 14 years young kitty with the softest heart and the sweetest soul. She spent some cozy time with two of our Certified Veterinary Technicians, Veronica and Stephanie, while receiving laser therapy to help a wound on her hock. The hock is the joint on the hind leg that bends backward (think: dog/cat “ankle,” not the knee).

And then there’s Rhys… flashing that heart-shaped tongue and soaking up all the love during his first visit with us! With treats, cheese, a little peanut butter, and a Fear Free approach, vet visits can be filled with trust, happy tails, and plenty of smiles.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re feeling pawsitively in love with our patients! 💌 Now it's your turn! Show us your Furry Valentine in the comments below! 👇💬

    • HELP US NAME THIS CUTIE! 

Meet this beautiful calico lady. She is approximately 2 years old and has recently found her way to us under unique circumstances. She was left in a carrier in the lobby of a local Subway restaurant, along with a bag of kibble. Based on camera footage, it appears her previous caregiver made a difficult but thoughtful decision to ensure she’d be safe and cared for.

She’s now with a new caregiver who’s ready to give her a fresh start… but she still needs the perfect name. ❤️

With such a memorable story and sweet spirit, we thought it would be fun to invite our community to help! Drop your name ideas in the comments! ⬇️ 💬 Bonus points if it’s inspired by her journey, her calico colors, or her fresh new beginning. 🧡🖤🤍

Let’s help this girl start her next chapter with a name she deserves.
