Services
Dr. Bert Coco was born and raised in Moreauville, a rural town in central Louisiana. Raised on a farm, he decided to become a veterinarian when he was a senior in high school. He studied animal science while attending Louisiana State University (LSU) in Alexandria for two years and then LSU-Baton Rouge where he was an undergraduate researcher in the reproductive physiology lab.
For many reasons, some clients find that they are unable to travel with their pets or have a medical emergency that requires someone else to care for their pets. Westside Veterinary Clinic is pleased to offer only the best boarding services for your pet during their stay at our facilities. We offer separate areas for dogs and cats, keeping them separated during exercise and feeding times as well.
My name is Debbie Hartsfield and I have worked in the veterinary field since 1990. I actually started my career here at Westside Veterinary Clinic working for Drs Bert and Sally. My husband's career in the Army moved us to Texas in 1993. I continued to work at a veterinary clinic there and trained to be a veterinary technician.
Dental care in pets is a complex yet essential part of veterinary care that your pet needs in order to lead a long and healthy life. Typically though, we find that dental care is one of the most neglected aspects of pet health.

Westside Veterinary Clinic offers dental examinations including digital dental radiography, ultrasonic cleanings, tooth extractions and preventative education for pet owners in DeRidder, Rosepine, Fort Polk, and Merryville, Louisiana.To ensure that we provide the best in dental care that veterinary medicine has to offer, we have furnished our facility with state-of-the-art equipment including our advanced digital dental radiological technology.
Persistent scratching, biting and licking by your pet is not necessarily a sign of good grooming habits. It may be indicative of skin allergies or other skin diseases. Westside Veterinary Clinic has numerous years of experience in diagnosing, treating and managing skin conditions brought on by different causes.

We highly recommend Westside Veterinary Clinic for your pets! The entire staff was personable and impressive, showing genuine love for their work, care and concern for our dog and us. Unrushed, Dr. Coco and his assistant, Hannah, gave us their full attention, answering all our questions. And an added bonus: When you call for an appointment or have a question, you speak with a kind and knowledgeable receptionist, not a recording or robot. Totally impressed and satisfied with this place, Dr. Coco, the staff, and the service.

We have been using Dr. Bert and Dr. Sally since my 12 yo Weimaraner was 5 weeks old. We moved almost an hour away but we still travel for their services. They are awesome.

Very helpful and informative Clinic, small town businesses always have a home-like feeling and attitude towards their customers and this place is a great example of that. Excellent customer service.

They saved us. We had chargers that were higher than expected for surgery and they not only took the unexpected fees completely off, being close to half the cost, they also inquired if we wanted to make a payment plan for the rest.
They wouldn't even accept us paying half of the unexpected fee saying that they would rather us be 100 happy even after we insisted.
Before surgery Dr Coco went through all steps and precautions taken. There was no point where we felt like we were inconveniencing her with our questions. Our concerns were her concerns, legitimately.
Always do business with them. Your

They are not only quick to get you in for care and treatment, they almost always work past scheduled work hours to ensure proper, quality treatment treatment every animal that comes through. They are thorough, genuine, professional, and have hearts of gold. They are also the best priced around. I cannot recommend them enough.

They are the best vet clinic in the area, by far!! The love they show our fur babies and the one on one time is better than any I've experienced! My labradoodle loves going to the vet and this place is why!

I love the care they provide not only for my cats and kittens but they take the time to answer any questions you may have. I feel so comfortable leaving any of my little darlings with them. I know they will be in great hands ❤.

We moved to the area at the end of last year with our 6 rescue dogs. One of the most stressful parts of moving for me is knowing I will have to try to find a new vet clinic that fits our needs. We originally tried a vet that came highly recommended. Unfortunately, I was very unimpressed with their level of care. I was so relieved upon meeting the staff at Westside. I come from a large metropolitan area so the small country setting had me apprehensive at first but it has proven to be a positive. The doctors are both very caring and have taken the time to really understand my dogs needs and history

I can't rave enough about Dr. Bert and the staff at Westside. My puppers got ahold of some trail mix with raisins (a big no no), and he was experiencing some severe tummy issues. I called the office in the morning, and Dr. Bert suggested I bring him in for a blood panel to check kidney function. Who knew raisins and grapes could be detrimental to a pup's health?!?

I love that they offer curbside service during this Covid-19 time, and all the staff that came out during the visit were in full masks and gloves for extra precaution.

I would totally recommend Dr. Coco 1000%
