We perform surgeries ranging from spays and neuters to more involved abdominal procedures.

Your pet is closely monitored throughout its stay for surgery to make sure it is as comfortable as possible.
She is from California but grew-up most of her life here in Nixa. She has a very sweet nature and has always adored animals, making her a great fit for our clinic. Becca shares her home with her labrador, Bean. Becca is currently taking classes to become a counselor one day. In her free time, she enjoys singing, reading, hiking and just being outdoors.

Dr. Kelly is very loving and gentle, and very informative, when it comes to knowing how to take care of your pet. I've been going to her for years she is a Awesome person. She will explain to you your issues that you are most concerned about, for your pet. I would definitely recommend her as well as Gentle Care Animal Hospital.

Started our 2 lab pups at gentle care with Dr Kelly. She's patient and informative. Also, recently had to have surgery and was grateful when they took the pups for a few daytime boards to help me in my recovery time, without question. Even trimmed their nails while there! Very kind and so appreciate their help at this time! Love their compassion and knowledge.

I see that many have had good experiences at this clinic and several haven't. The ones that haven't seem to mention the same things as I see and feel. Gentle Care Animal Clinic focuses on and puts major emphasis on getting return visits scheduled so they can charge you again and upselling additional products, tests, extras to make the bills as high as possible. They disguise these phone calls as checking in on your pet, but push you to get them back for another visit I do not feel the same compassion as others have stated. I see burn out and don't feel the happiness and love in the

Never have had a bad experience here. No up sales, no BS. Extraordinarily caring group of professionals. If you're in the Nixa area, or the southside of Springfield, this would be a good home for your animals' health issues.

My husband and I recently moved out of state. One of the hardest parts of moving was leaving Gentle Care and having to find a new vet for our fury child Diesel.

Diesel has a ton of minor health problems and ends up at the vets office about every other month. Dr. Kelly knew everything about Diesel and was the best at taking care of him. It is such a wonderful thing to find someone that you can trust to make health decisions for your animal. If you are looking for a vet in the Springfield area, look no further. This is by far the BEST veterinarians office out there! They are also extremely affordable
