Welcome To Southshore
Animal Hospital
Southshore Animal Hospital is a full-service small animal medical facility that serves the Greater New Orleans metro area including Metairie, Jefferson, Kenner, and the city of New Orleans. Having a reputation for excellence in soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, we also provide boarding accommodations, chemotherapy, dental care, dermatology, in-clinic diagnostics, heartworm testing, immunotherapy, laser therapy, pharmacy, intensive care, stem cell therapy, digital radiography, ultrasound, wellness visits, and more.
A native New Orleanian, Dr. Chris Forstall was inspired at a young age to become a veterinarian and to one day open his own veterinary practice. After achieving his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, he began practicing in the New Orleans area in 2005, and was able to make his dream come true in 2013.
Southshore Animal Hospital is committed to maintaining superior pet health care and providing outstanding customer service and educational guidance for members of our community. Our skilled and compassionate doctors and staff strive everyday to put you and your pet at ease while delivering the best veterinary care available.
Southshore Animal Hospital participates in the Jefferson Parish low cost spay/neuter program, and as a result, our veterinarians have a great deal of hands-on surgical experience. In addition to soft tissue surgeries, our veterinarians are well qualified to perform orthopedic surgeries. Dr. Forstall is specially trained to perform Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) knee surgery.
At Southshore Animal Hospital, we know you have options when it comes to choosing veterinary care for your pet family members. We would like to be the other family doctor for your household. Come by and meet our team of homegrown Louisiana veterinarians and our friendly, warm-hearted staff. We can’t wait to meet you!
