The history of Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic
In the early 1950s, Dr. CP Enge and Dr. Eiler Fredrickson partnered to form the Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic. They started with an office in downtown Windom. In 1955, they built a new clinic along Highway 60 in Northeast Windom, which has continued there to the present day. Numerous remodels and updates have been made throughout the years to meet the needs of a changing profession.
The newly built clinic and hospital were designed to serve the needs of livestock farmers in the early years. There were facilities for doing surgery on cattle and horses with pens for hospitalized livestock. A few years into the business, Dr. Enge left the practice to move to Arizona. Dr. L J Hansen, from the Storden area, then took on the partnership with Dr. Eiler. In the early 1960s, Dr. Eiler moved on, and Dr. Cliff Ling, a native of Round Lake, joined Dr. Hansen as the new partner.

Thank You For Your Kind Words
I am currently visiting family for Thanksgiving in Windom, and we found a cat on our way down from St. Cloud, MN. I called Cottonwood Vet to see if they could check for a microchip and the sex of the cat. They told me I could come in right away. The staff were super helpful and friendly! They cleaned his ears out and dewormed him as well which was super nice. Thanks you guys for the quick help!!

Brought my animal to this place to check on injuries, and he was checked in very quickly, and came home with him being able to walk freely and was eating very well and drinking fluids well also. I was explained to and showed exams and how to medicate my animal properly. These folks working here take pride in their work and treat animals also like people with respect.

My dog was being super difficult and they were so patient with him. We had a scheduled appointment but they took the time with him that it had to take even though it took longer then expected. They were very nice and thorough. They talked through all the options with me and we came to a treatment solution together.

I love this clinic. They are so friendly, kind, and very helpful. I get worried about my cat and they took plenty of time to talk me through all my concerns and give me good advice for how to move out-of-state with her. Each staff member clearly loves what they do and loves animals and customers alike. I also think they prices are extremely reasonable.

My dog sliced her leg open on a weekend after hours and the on-call vet Dr. Miller was absolutely exceptional. He was very thorough and compassionate for my dog. So thankful for his help in a scary situation. Highly recommend the Cottonwood Vet Clinic.

They listened to me and saw me after hours. I have a difficult dog and they put him at ease enough to draw his blood and do his exam. They sent me home with the medicine and proper instructions so I know what to do. My dog even rested his head up against the doctor…something I have never seen him do before.
