​Animal Health Center of Rolla

​Your pets health is our top priority

At the Animal Health Center of Rolla, we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality care for your pets and livestock. Your pet is an important part of your family and when they are ill, you want the best medical care available. Our veterinarian staff are ready to provide your pet with cutting-edge veterinary care from wellness exams and vaccines to advanced diagnostics and complex surgical procedures. We have convenient hours for our clients and their pets.

Appointments

Our receptionists and team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, please call us immediately. A staff member can advise you on your particular emergency and recommend you come in or be seen at an emergency facility.

Senior Health Care

We take especially good care of our senior patients and are proud that many of our senior patients exceed the average life expectancy for their species and breed. Our senior care recommendations include semi-annual exams, a 27 blood chemistry panel, complete blood count, thyroid testing, and a urinalysis with sediment for most pets. With senior bloodwork we can catch medical conditions earlier and treat faster for a better outcome. As your pet ages, their needs and behavior change. We can help you understand these changes and help care for your aging pet.
