About Us

Willmar Pet Hospital began with a singular vision: to create a veterinary practice where medical excellence meets heartfelt compassion. Our journey started with a foundational belief that pets aren't just animals; they are integral members of our families, deserving of the highest standard of care and unwavering kindness. This belief continues to be the driving force behind everything we do, from our daily interactions to our long-term health strategies for your companions.

Led by Dr. Daniel Cook, DVM, and supported by a dedicated team of veterinary professionals, we have cultivated an environment built on trust, expertise, and a genuine love for animals. Dr. Cook, a native of Northern Virginia, received his undergraduate education at Georgetown University before attending Kansas State University's School of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 2009. He has practiced extensively in the region, including serving as Medical Director at VCA Commonwealth Animal Hospital, bringing a wealth of experience in areas such as soft tissue surgery, dermatology, and ophthalmology. Our history is rich with countless success stories, from routine check-ups that prevent future complications to critical emergency interventions that save lives. We are constantly evolving, integrating the latest advancements in veterinary medicine while upholding the timeless values of empathetic service and personal attention.

Our passion extends beyond treating ailments; it's about fostering lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. We understand the unique bond you share with your furry, feathered, or scaled family members, and we are honored to be your partners in ensuring their health and happiness for many years to come. We are deeply committed to providing transparent communication and clear explanations, ensuring you are fully informed about your pet's health and treatment options. When you choose Willmar Pet Hospital, you are choosing a team dedicated to the well-being of your beloved companion, offering the expertise you can trust and a level of care that truly feels like family.
