Established in 1903, Downtown Animal Hospital is Louisiana's first veterinarian hospital. Downtown Animal Hospital leads the region in offering new technologies and services to meet the demands of current healthcare practices. For over a century, our doctors have supported the community and advanced animal welfare. In 1903, the Quilty brothers founded Downtown Animal Hospital to address livestock healthcare needs and endemic disease issues.
Dr. Jay Carter bought the clinic in 1980 and transformed it into a thriving small animal veterinary hospital. Dr. Wade Woolman, along with his team of veterinarians, now carries on the tradition of providing excellent veterinary care with customized client services.

Services
At DAH, we use digital radiographs to see what is happening inside your pet's body.
This technology helps us detect abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system, heart, lungs, GI tract, and urinary tract.
Radiographs can be used to predict the number of puppies in pregnant females.
When needed, radiographs can be sent to board-certified specialists for additional evaluation.
Biopsy and cytology results are received within a week or sooner, if needed.
We photograph slides from the microscope for interpretation by a clinical pathologist in as little as a few hours.
