Veterinary hospice care has been in the news lately. We offer this important service for both existing clients as well as new clients. Many people have a vet they love, but when the time comes for end-of-life decisions, nothing replaces having it performed in their own home. We care for remains as well, if desired. […]
Our December newsletter features corneal ulcers – scratches on the outermost surface of the eye. Some dog breeds, such as shih tzus, boxers, pugs, and pekingeses, can have these scratches to the eye become disastrous – to the point of losing the eyeball! In those breeds, we must treat the eye very aggressively, such as […]

The O’Fallon Progress has a nice article featuring our practice! Many thanks to Zoe, the Bullmastiff, who was our very photogenic patient!

Today we had a unique opportunity with a sweet German Shepherd named Juno. I first met Juno while working in a large veterinary clinic in St. Louis. Juno was so terrified of the vet clinic, she needed sedation and anti-anxiety medication. Even with those, she would tremble and hide behind her mom, scared to death. […]
Our license to practice in Missouri arrived today! We can now visit all of our St. Louis friends! Travel fees are being worked out, but we are open for business in MO!
Flea season’s over, right? The nights are finally getting colder. Soon we’ll get a frost, and all the fleas will be dead, right? Sorry, but it’s not that easy. (If it were, I wouldn’t write an article about it!) The height of flea season is now. Fall. Not June, but October. Surprised? Most people are! […]
