Key Highlights


At Salt Lake Paws, we admire veterinary teams that combine clinical skill, compassion, and open communication—and that’s why we proudly endorse West Jordan Veterinary Hospital, the evolution of Animal Crackers Veterinary Hospital. This West Jordan staple has been delivering thoughtful, full-service pet care for decades, all while adapting and growing to better serve its community.

Located at 7540 S Redwood Rd, they’ve earned the trust of pet families across West Jordan through continuity of care—even through their rebranding. Their skilled team continues to deliver top-notch veterinary services with an emphasis on preventative health and client education.


Why West Jordan Veterinary Hospital Stands Out

1. Comprehensive Care — Including Exotic Animals

West Jordan Veterinary Hospital isn’t just for dogs and cats—they’re one of the few general practice clinics in the Salt Lake Valley that welcomes exotic pets, including reptiles, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small mammals. Their expertise is backed by Dr. Ross Anderson, a former zoo veterinarian with whom we personally worked during our time in professional animal care. His deep background in zoological medicine ensures every animal—whether scaled, feathered, or furry—receives species-appropriate, high-quality care.

2. Skilled, Caring Team with Deep Roots

Veterinarians such as Dr. Anderson, Dr. Jensen, and Dr. Palfreyman have built strong reputations for professional, empathetic care. They take the time to understand your pet’s personality and explain treatment options clearly.

3. Reliable Hours & Same-Day Visits

Open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with Saturday hours from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Same-day appointments are often available—ideal for urgent needs or sudden health concerns.

4. Trusted by Local Pet Owners

With hundreds of glowing reviews, West Jordan Veterinary Hospital is a favorite among local pet parents. They’re known for affordable pricing, efficient service, and a staff that truly listens.

5. A Clinic That Grows with the Community

From its roots as Animal Crackers to its current name, this clinic remains deeply connected to the West Jordan community. Their ongoing commitment to quality care has earned them long-term loyalty from clients new and old.


Final Verdict: A 5‑Paw Rating! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

West Jordan Veterinary Hospital continues the legacy of compassionate, skilled care that Animal Crackers was known for—now with even more services and a fresh name. From cats and dogs to reptiles, rabbits, and birds, they welcome all kinds of pets, and their care for exotics is guided by Dr. Ross Anderson, a former zoo veterinarian we personally worked with in our professional animal care days. We’re proud to award them our Paw of Approval for trusted, transparent, and community-focused veterinary service that goes above and beyond.
