Countryside Veterinary Clinic

Eric, the youngest son of Darrell and Linda, was born in Pella, Iowa and moved with his parents to Saint Joseph shortly after his birth. Eric became interested in veterinary medicine at a young age while accompanying his dad on emergency calls. He obtained his Animal Science degree from Kansas State University, and four years later obtained his degree in Veterinary Medicine from University of Missouri.

Did you know that accreditation for animal hospitals is voluntary? Surprising, isn't it? Nearly 60 percent of pet owners believe that their pet's veterinary hospital is accredited when it is not. In actuality, only 12-15% of animal hospitals have gone through the accreditation evaluation process by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).

We value our patients and clients, and we appreciate the role we get to play in your pet's health care. Make sure to take note of the expiration dates, as we change our special offers from time to time. Again, all of us at Countryside Veterinary Clinic want to thank you and your pets for being a loyal member of our community.

We are proud to provide St. Joseph, MO and the surrounding communities with boarding services. We practice the highest standards of care and cleanliness for patients staying with us. We know that it takes a great deal of trust to leave your pet with someone else, so we want to assure you that we are professional, highly trained, and most of all, we love pets.

Please call us at (816) 233-2005 if you have an emergency, and we will do our best to help you through this frightening and stressful time. Emergencies can be a terrible experience for pets and pet owners, so we promise to communicate with you and make the process less stressful. We also offer emergency surgery as well as critical care.
