University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine

They ar the most wonderful doctors and staff here. They have taken such great care of our dog since we first started coming here 4 years ago. Our local vet referred us here to the cardiology department. They installed a pacemaker to fix his slow heart rhythm. He comes back every six months to have it checked and everyone is wonderful. So compassionate and so professional. We drive 3 hours to get here, but we wouldn’t go anywhere else! Simple the best!

Doctor Kristin Merril and students gave me my best friend back. When my husband and I brought her to the hospital we were sure she wasn’t going to make it. It was our last stitch effort to save our girl. Within 3 days of being there she started improving, she made an amazing recovery! And now 3 weeks after being discharged she is still doing amazing. They gave us our dog back. It’s almost like Dixie’s a puppy again, she’s so happy to be alive. Yes if come you here you may spend a lot of money and they may or may not figure out what’s wrong. We decided to try and that’s all us owners can do. Ultimately we walked into emergency center with a dog on her last leg, so close to death. And about a week later we walked out with a much healthier dog. We couldn’t be happier!! They gave us our Dixie back and for that we are forever grateful!! Thank you guys so much

We would like to offer our Apartment Homes to Veterinary Medicine Students. Rock Bridge Meadows Apartments 3717 Monterey Drive Columbia. We hear nothing but good things about this program and it would be our pleasure to offer reasonable, safe housing for you, while you study.

I am so grateful to the entire staff of this great Veterinary Hospital. I am especially grateful to Dr. Jaffe, Dr. Rogers, and Dr. Cohn (I listed them in the order I had the honor of meeting them). I am also very grateful to the rest of the specialists, emergency room doctors, pathologists, students, nurses, front desk staff, cashiers, and the social worker (sorry I am so bad with remembering names) who helped my Service Dog improve from a severe illness. You have all been stellar and I am forever grateful for your teamwork.nShadow was very, very sick when he was admitted to ICU and I was fearful that he might not make it or that I may have to do the humane thing and let him go.nBut he was saved by this wonderful team: they worked so hard to extend his lifespan and improve his quality of life. They researched and consulted with other universities, they listened to me and they addressed every concern I had. I am the type of owner who researches every single treatment action taken and challenges the decisions of the doctors all the time because I think it is my job to be my dog’s advocate and because I’ve ran into countless incompetent doctors (both medical and veterinarians). I have argued Shadow’s case so many times in the exam room because I wanted to make sure that his plan of treatment was the best fit for his illness. I think I agreed with Shadow’s doctors, especially with Dr. Erin Rogers 99% of the time.nIt was so touching when the staff threw Shadow a party after successfully completing a difficult part of his treatment and donated money to help with his medical bill... We still have a long way to go as his condition will have to be closely monitored for the rest of his life but we now have a fighting chance.nBased on my experience, I heartily endorse and recommend this hospital. If I had to describe this wonderful group of people in three words those would be: compassionate, competent, and committed.nThank you from the bottom of my heart!
