Animal Care Center of Hudson

A Nextdoor Favorite on Lenertz Road, this western Wisconsin hospital distinguishes itself through canine rehabilitation — and the depth of that program is genuinely unusual for a general practice. Dr. Butler is a certified rehab veterinarian, and the modalities on offer include cold laser therapy, soft tissue mobilization, traction, joint compressions, neuromuscular electrostimulation, therapeutic exercise, massage, shockwave therapy, and PRP, augmented by supplements and disease-modifying agents like high-dose omega 3s, glucosamine, MSM, and injectable glycosaminoglycans. The goal is improved mobility, decreased pain, better proprioception, and faster postoperative recovery with less severe muscle loss — which matters enormously for a dog coming out of TPLO surgery, and clients describe exactly that experience. Beyond rehab, care covers allergies and dermatology, behavior work, dental services, diagnostics, surgery, emergency treatment, and boarding. The facility is equipped for everything from preventative medicine through emergency services, carrying pets from new puppies and kittens through the graying senior years. From the moment a pet walks in, they become part of the hospital's family too.
