But it is time to welcome back all of our Horton Central friends and patients, old and new! We're located next to Interstate 70 in Columbia MO about 1/2 mile from Business loop and Stadium BLVD, and are available to take care of all your pet's needs. Horton Central has the space and the staff to properly care for your animals while you are away.

You'll never have to worry about your pet's health or safety while boarding with us. Healthy teeth are vital to your pet's overall health. Our knowledgeable staff knows proper dental care and can prevent problems before they arise. Trust Horton-Central with maintaining your animal's smile. Our goal is to keep your pets happy and healthy, and we're dedicated to keeping them in great shape at any age.
Services
At Horton Animal Hospital-Central, your pet's health and longevity are our top priorities. Our passionate staff and top-quality care ensures your companions will live long, healthy and happy lives. We offer care for all different aspects of your pet's life, including wellness exams, reproductive, boarding and end-of-life services.
You can greatly reduce your pet's chances of illness and injury by ensuring he/she is receiving proper care. This includes appropriate vaccinations, healthy nutrition, parasite control, obedience training, and spaying or neutering. Every furry friend we see has unique needs, and our doctors treat them as individuals.
It's important to know that your companions are in good hands when you cant be there. Whether it's just a weekend out of town, or a month out of the country, we know it's essential for your furry friends to find a safe and secure place to stay. We welcome special-needs boarders (diabetics, renal patients, epileptics, etc.) and promise to get your pets out for exercise at least twice daily.
We know your pets get along fine when they're at home-sharing space, food and attention with no signs of stress or jealousy. But a boarding situation is inherently stressful: the pet's routine changes, there are new people to deal with, new smells, lots of differences from their regular situation, and different equals stressful.

Very friendly. Boarding is good for the hospital. If you want your pets to be pampered go to a specific boarding. As an hospital, the staffs are outstanding.

I've come here to see Dr. Hussey for about 8 years now. She always makes time for us and and will call to check in. She is never pushy about medications and will always tell you all your options and if she feels it is necessary or not. No matter how busy she is she always makes time for us. I cannot recommend her enough!

Horton Animal Hospital came recommended from another local vet who isn't taking new clients. Hortons was great with my 15 week old kitten, Prada. They were super sweet and gentle in caring for him. They set up my next appointment for his neutering and explained everything to me in general conversation. I feel confident in raising a kitten and I have great confidence in Horton Animal Hospital. I would also like to mention that the price I paid was a lot less than I had anticipated. So double bonus for me and my wallet. Now I can buy more things for Prada. If you need a great vet with a great staff

I used to take my dog here back in the day when she was alive. Always had friendly vets and for the most part were on schedule and prompt.

Great experience! The doctor explained everything very clearly and answered all the questions I had patiently. And the staff was polite. I had to wait outside as they were only taking the pets inside due to Covid. But overall pleasant experience. Though my cat would rate it otherwise.
