Vets!

DH and I are finally going to be getting a puppy in a few weeks. But...we are beginning to look for animal hospitals/vets etc. We are in South City. Any one have recs or places to look to find reputable locations?

Re: Vets!

  • My brother got his dog from the Humane Society and he brings her there for all of her shots. He's been happy with it. Originally, I thought their prices would be lower, but they are not. However, the gift shop is tax free.
  • I got a kitten from Petsmart when they have adoption days.  The person I adopted from (and who is not affiliated with Petsmart) said Bainfield (located in Petsmarts) is a good vet.  So far I like them, and they have multiple locations.
    Love my family!

  • We have taken all of our dogs to Banfield (even when we lived in Chicago).  They have an insurance plan that you can purchase that covers all of the shots and any visits (so far, it has ended up being cheaper to get that instead of paying for the shots and visits individually, but we also end up at the vet quite a few extra times throughout the year).  We love our vets (at 141 and Manchester).  We have a very high maintenance lab and they have helped us with him tremendously.

    We go to Webster Groves Animal Hospital, and we've been very happy with them. Their hours are great (24 hours on the weekends, and 6 a.m. - 2 a.m. during the week), and we've really liked all the doctors we've seen.

  • We also go to Webster Groves and I love it.  Everyone is nice, the hours can't be beat.  We see Dr Jodi Balke (you have to ask for Jodi as her husband works there also).  She has limited hours as she has moved to part time, but she is AWESOME!  We were there once picking our dog (Parker) up from boarding and Dr Balke must have seen the tech walk Parker to the back b/c all of a sudden we hear from the back Dr Balke scream (joyous scream) "PARKER!!!!!"  She hadn't seen Parker in 6 months and totally recognized our dog without even seeing us. 
  • I live in South City as well and have recently found that Webster Groves Animal Hospital is wonderful! We adopted a dog and brought it home only to have it attack our cat and dislocate it's spine. It was in the evening when this happened and I took her to WGAH. They were amazing with advice and comforting me when I thought my cat was a lost cause. They wrapped her and gave her some medicine and now 5 weeks later she is walking, jumping and eating again. Our doctor is Dr. Swanson. She is only there on the weekends, but if there is ever an emergency take your dog there.
  • When we first moved to St. Louis, we had to shop around to find a vet we really liked.  Then we moved to South City form Rock Hill, and we still go to Brentwood Animal Hospital because we love them so much.  They are knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and great with animals.  Dr. Heider has been our vet there, and she has been with us every step of the way, from basic checkups to taking care of our animals when they were sick, to when we had to have our cat put to sleep.  I would recommend them to anyone!
