There are not enough good things to say about Dr. Becker and the staff here. It's been a tough few months since our last visit but from day one he has treated us as family and done everything in his power to keep my girl Presley with us. My only regret is we didn't find him sooner. It was a long, tough process trying to find out what was wrong with her but he did everything is his power to keep her comfortable while we searched for answers.
I cannot say thank you enough for everything he did for her up until the end. If only more people had the compassion and professionalism this staff provides, the world would be a much better place. This team of vets are truly amazing! My dane was having problems with labor. I took her to an emergency vet and was told there was one more puppy but it was dead because no heartbeat could be found.

Services
Independence Animal Hospital is a full-service veterinary medical facility, located in Independence, MO. The professional and courteous staff at Independence Animal Hospital seek to provide the best possible medical care, surgical care and dental care for their highly-valued patients. We are committed to promoting responsible pet ownership, preventative health care and health-related educational opportunities for our clients.
We care for our small animal patients as if they were our own pets, so we recommend annual wellness exams to keep them well. During these visits, our doctors examine your pet from nose to tail to ensure they're healthy. We look for various symptoms that may indicate an illness or looming problem.
These include skin, eye, ear or mucus membrane abnormalities, hair loss, weight gain/loss, gingivitis or tartar build up, swelling, irregular heart rate, and breathing problems.Whether your pet is a puppy/kitten or a senior, vaccinations are critical to their health. Vaccines prepare the body's immune system to fight off certain disease-causing organisms by mimicking these organisms in the body.

Dr. Wingert has been a veterinarian at Independence Animal Hospital since 1995. The variety of cases every single day, and the opportunity to save someone's pet are the two things about this job that I love the most. It's hard to compete with delivering a litter of puppies or saving the life of a beloved pet.

UPDATE: THEY HELP MY BABY BOY! (my dog). He is 13 years old and he now acts like he is young again. The staff is straight forward and lacking compassion but if you are in need of animal care this is your place to be.
The only animal Hospital to try and help my baby boy. No other vet would. They was even closing soon and still are trying to help my baby boy. Thank you

To be completely honest and blunt if you are looking for a veterinarian or Animal Hospital that will perform a procedure at a an affordable rate, this might be a good place to go. This is not my home vet my home vet is the VCA Fairway Animal Hospital. Will forever be and will always be my number one option I was referred to the Independence hospital by VCA due to a procedure that I was not able to afford. All of my medical records for my animals and test results for my animals is with VCA Fairway. I took my results to this hospital they completely ignored and did a different procedure. They are

This place loves caring for animals of well paying clients, but as soon as a stray animal with no money attached to it comes in, it’s suddenly less important than all the other animals, even if it needs extensive care. This place has ignored me on several occasions when my animals have NEEDED HELP. Ignored. Not even a late response. Save yourself the extreme hassle, & take your pets to a clinic that will actually let you inside.

The staff has been so helpful and understanding. I've gone to numerous vets and just none ever felt right until I was suggested by multiple people to come here and have yet to be disappointed. My first visit alone was overwhelming because coming from one vet telling me one thing that was going to cost a few thousand dollars to coming to independence animal hospital and the vet knowing right away what I was told was wrong and saving me those few thousand dollars. I thank you to you all!!! I will continue to bring my fur babies to your clinic.

My pregnant dog wouldn’t even want to go outside so we knew it was time for her delivery we took her yesterday morning 11/26 and they sent my brother back home saying that she’s not ready even mention how she looked like a dog who wasn’t even ready to give birth that maybe on Monday. So home we go and she still acting the same but worst. Later on the day we have to take her back even faster because what happen? She was READY. One puppy was already coming out so it was time but the “workers” there must be new or something. Great work my dog is the happiest mommy right now but I was really
