Welcome to Hillcrest Animal Hospital! We are proud to serve Poplar Bluff, MO and surrounding areas. Hillcrest Animal Hospital is dedicated to providing the highest level of veterinary medical care along with friendly, compassionate service. We believe in treating every patient as if they were our own pet and giving them the same loving attention and care. We are a group of highly trained and experienced animal lovers who are devoted to giving our patients the best care possible. Our ambulatory trucks have been on the road providing on-farm care to animals across a 9-county region, including Arkansas, since 2016. And now, you can bring the animal to us for care in our safe, secure, custom designed large animal facility, no matter the weather. At Hillcrest we take great pride in being able to accommodate our patients, both small and large, in nearly any situation.
Hillcrest Animal Wellness, located in Doniphan, MO brings Hillcrest’s brand of veterinary excellence to the heart of Ripley County. This by appointment only clinic offers goods and services for small animal patients, and large animal supplies for clients in the region. We happily provide all types of routine, preventive pet care, plus, illness examinations and end of life care. The facility is equipped with a full array of in-house Idexx diagnostic analyzers, Idexx digital radiography, and fully stocked small and large animal pharmacy. Minor procedures such as cat neuters and small laceration repairs are welcome. However, this facility is not equipped for intensive care, overnight hospitalization, or surgery. We may seamlessly share client and patient records with AAHA accredited Hillcrest Animal Hospital in Poplar Bluff when more advanced care is needed. Book an appointment for your pet over the phone by calling (573) 785-1471 or by walking-in.
