About Sweetwater Veterinary Hospital
Since 1946, Sweetwater Veterinary Hospital has proudly served the pets and people of Sweetwater with expert, compassionate care. Learn what makes us a trusted name in local veterinary medicine.
A Rich History Rooted in Service
Sweetwater Veterinary Hospital was founded in 1946 by Dr. Bud E. Alldredge Sr., a proud Texas A&M graduate whose veterinary education was interrupted by service in World War II. Starting with house calls for large animals and basic surgeries performed in his own home, Dr. Alldredge laid the groundwork for a practice built on dedication, integrity, and a love for animals.
In 1947, the first official clinic was built at the corner of East Broadway and Hiawatha Street. That location remained the heart of the practice until 1979, when the current facility at 2303 E Broadway St was completed—expanding to include treatment areas for horses, cattle, and exotic animals.
In 1969, Dr. Bud E. Alldredge Jr. joined the practice alongside his father, continuing the family legacy of veterinary excellence. A graduate of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine with undergraduate studies at the University of Texas, Dr. Alldredge Jr. brought a well-rounded education and a deep passion for animal health to the growing hospital.
Today, Sweetwater Veterinary Hospital continues to uphold the values that have guided us for decades: compassionate service, medical expertise, and strong community ties.
Proud to Serve the Sweetwater Community
Sweetwater Veterinary Hospital has always been more than a clinic—it’s a trusted part of the Sweetwater community. For generations, we’ve cared for the pets of local families, ranchers, and animal lovers, growing alongside the people we serve.
In addition to dogs and cats, we proudly provide care for reptiles, birds, rodents, and pocket pets, offering knowledgeable support for exotic pet owners. We also offer large animal services by appointment, reflecting our continued commitment to the diverse needs of our rural community.
