We offer nutritional counseling for our food animal clients. Many times your herd's health can be improved by simply modifying your feed formula so that it compliments your grazing and pasture conditions. By having a healthy herd you can expect more pounds of beef from the same number of cows. Just as important to pet owners is the feeding of the correct food to your pets. We sell Hill’s Science Diet and Prescription diets for both dogs and cats. Hills have only premium quality foods for your pet which generally negates the need for supplements. For special needs, pets with medical issues, prescription diets are recommended.

We can microchip your pet at your next veterinary visit. A microchip is inserted with an injection. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice. We use the DATAMARS microchip which includes the permanent registration of your pet. The microchip is of value for lost pets and providing proof of ownership. If your pet becomes lost and is taken to a shelter or veterinary clinic, they can scan your pet to read the ID code on the microchip. They can then call the appropriate registry to notify them the pet has been found. The registry will call the owner to reunite them with their pet at that time.

Here at MVAC we are staying current with new technologies that help us provide your pets with the best quality of care and therefore the best quality of life. One of the new technologies we offer is laser therapy. Therapy lasers deliver a therapeutic wavelength of energy that stimulates a photo biochemical cascade of events at the cellular level that relieves pain, reduces inflammation and increases circulation. All of these effects result in accelerated healing. There are many conditions that benefit from laser therapy. Arthritis, inter vertebral disk disease, ear infections, wounds, abscesses, fractures and hot spots to name a few. Virtually any pet that is experiencing pain or inflammation is a candidate for this form of treatment. Therapy is typically performed every other day for a couple of weeks then weekly as needed. We also recommend post surgical and post dental laser therapy on a case by case basis.

If you have an after hours emergency, please call (417) 934-2323. The answering machine will forward the call. We are not a full service emergency clinic so no one stays on the premises after hours.

Please understand that payment is expected at the time of services for emergencies as well. Thank you for trusting us with your pets.

Payment is expected when services are rendered. In order to focus on our patients' needs, customer service and minimizing costs.
