The UF Large Animal Hospital is located on the Veterinary College campus at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fl. Gainesville has been described as a combination of college-town vitality and protected natural beauty - surrounded by parks, lakes, and natural springs - a place “where nature and culture meet.” We are centrally located to either coast with fantastic beaches and the Orlando mega-theme parks are easily a day-trip. And for the avid horse lovers, it is located within a 30-minute drive to Ocala, which is considered by some as the real Horse Capital of the World and the amazing World Equestrian Center that houses our satellite small animal and equine UF Veterinary Hospitals at WEC.
As an academic teaching hospital, we are fortunate to have exceptional facilities for providing patient care and access to the latest innovations in veterinary healthcare including Sports Medicine and Rehab, advanced imaging, 3D assisted surgical procedures, Neonatal Intensive Care, and Integrative Medicine, just to name a few.
