Southside Animal Hospital is unique in the South Texas area in that it is the only vet clinic with a wellness waiting and a sick waiting area with an isolation ward. We strive to provide the best medical and veterinary care to our patients. Not only do we have experienced veterinarians on staff, but we also have knowledgeable, compassionate, and experienced personnel to assist our clients and their pets. For this reason, we were the winners of Best of Corpus Christi in 2023!

To support our busy and diverse workload, our hospital is ready with plentiful and modern veterinary equipment. We have 5 exam rooms (two with lift tables), a surgery suite with separate dental table, digital radiology (including digital dental rads), ultrasound, in-house laboratory, and more!

Externships are typically 2 weeks long and Heartland will cover the cost of lodging if needed.

Length of externship is flexible & we can support your preceptorship documentation as well.
