Our veterinary team in Springfield, MO welcomes you and your pet!

Stress-free visits to the pet hospital start at home.

It’s no secret that no creature is excited for a visit to the animal hospital, especially, if there’s an expectation of stress associated with the trip. Our pets (or furry babies) may have a limited understanding of why they are visiting a veterinary clinic, but they do know to take their cues from you.

A Labrador won’t understand why she’s receiving an injection and a Siamese isn’t going to be convinced that veterinary surgery will make him feel better. But, your confidence in our veterinarians and veterinary staff will give them a sense of ease knowing that we’re working together to keep them smiling and healthy for years to come. When their favorite human behaves like they are comfortable at a pet clinic, chances are they will, too. Our veterinary team is specially trained in providing stress-free animal clinic visits for pets.

For more information about stress-free appointments, we recommend reading the outlined section below.

Our state-of-the-art technology and medical equipment are only part of what makes our animal clinic so great. We wouldn’t be Deerfield Veterinary Hospital without our highly skilled and compassionate team of veterinarians and veterinary staff. Please explore the team profiles on our website to meet your pet’s caretakers. Deerfield Veterinary Hospital is committed to providing you the highest quality pet health care possible.

Appointments

Our veterinarians and veterinary staff welcome new clients! Please take a moment to fill out our pet hospital’s New Client Form located to the right of the page. Submitting this form before your pet’s first visit to our animal hospital helps familiarize ourselves with your pet’s medical history and with you. Faxing or emailing medical records before your visit will reduce your pet’s wait time and provide our veterinarians and staff with the necessary health history of your best friend. If you have questions, please call. Our veterinary staff is happy to assist you with medical record acquisition if needed.

To provide quality pet health care, we do request scheduled appointments. This allows our veterinary team to spend unhurried time with you and your pet. For your convenience, we also provide a drop-off service that allows us to examine and treat your pet during the day. Please take advantage of this service if your schedule makes it difficult to set up a specific appointment time. Pet health emergencies presented during regular pet clinic hours will always take immediate priority.

Stress-free Veterinary Visits

The stress-free veterinary healthcare standard allows us to practice veterinary medicine with the whole patient in mind, protecting both the physical and emotional well-being of our pet patients. Our passionate, well-trained veterinary team evaluates your pet’s comfort level during every step of their visit to our animal clinic.

To care for both the medical and emotional needs of our patients means first preventing fear, anxiety, and stress. Calm veterinary experiences allow us to provide the very best care possible for you and your pet. Simply put, stress-free visits improve your pet’s overall experience at our animal hospital and enhance the bond that we all share with our beloved patients.

If you already know that your pet experiences fear, anxiety or stress on short car rides or trips to the veterinarian, please ask our team to address your concerns before you schedule your companion’s appointment. Our veterinary clinic will always do our best to accommodate your pet and their unique needs so they can receive the best pet health care possible.
