Anheuser Animal Clinic — Local services in Bloomsdale

I have used Anheuser Animal Clinic for the past 5 years with my cats; my family has used them for longer. We have unfortunately cut ties with this clinic for several reasons that could have been avoided. Lack in Sanitation - My cat was taken to the clinic in the Fall of 2024 for a procedure that required sedation. He was housed in the back kennels to prep for surgery, as well as to recover from surgery. I noticed his ears were hot one day, and he seemed to be pretty itchy. I took him back to the clinic, where they told me that he contracted ringworm from the holding area. So did I, on my leg where he slept. Apparently the clinic was doing a spay/neuter and release on a large colony(ies) of feral cats, and they had ringworm. This leads me to believe that the holding area where my cat was held was not properly sanitized. I treated both myself and my cat for ringworm at the same time. My family adopted a cat from the rescue in 2024. Since that time, it has been nothing short of a disaster. The cat had serious gastrointestinal issues, which was determined by a different vet to be an infection of Giardia. With my cats living in the house, my parents' cats living in the house, and my sibling's cats living in the house, all 8 cats have contracted this infection. Dr. A would not do a PRP test, so my parents had to take the cat elsewhere. A month after the initial diagnosis, all 8 cats still have it, even after being treated by medication prescribed by Dr. A at the recommendation of another vet. However, there was another medication that was requested to be prescribed by the other vet that Dr. A WOULD NOT prescribe. We now have to re-treat all 8 cats, when it should have been treated once to begin with.

I will add that Dr. A has been fantastic in all other aspects. She has been there for my cats and other animals when there have been emergencies, but this has been a very frustrating past year as a pet owner who deeply cares about their animals. I think that the clinic has bitten off more than they can chew with the rescue and the spay/neuter and release operation that they are doing. Your money would be better spent elsewhere with a vet who is willing to do the tests that need to be done to figure out what the problem is, instead of having to go to another vet to spend more money on top of the initial bill that didn't...

I recently had the pleasure of bringing my beloved dog to Anheuser Animal Clinic, and I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience. After relocating to Festus a year and a half ago, I found myself in need of a local veterinary clinic that could provide the same level of care and expertise as our previous vet, who was now quite a distance away. Anheuser Animal Clinic came highly recommended, and they surpassed all expectations.

One of the most challenging moments during our time at Anheuser Animal Clinic was when my dog began experiencing seizures. It was a frightening and uncertain time for both of us. However, the veterinarian and her dedicated staff went above and beyond to ensure my dog received the best possible care. Their prompt response and calm demeanor immediately put us at ease. They showed genuine concern for my dog's well-being and took the time to explain the situation thoroughly, which helped alleviate my worries.

The expertise and professionalism displayed by the vet and her team were truly remarkable. When it was determined that my dog required ACL surgery, they guided me through every step of the process. They patiently addressed all my questions and concerns, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed about the procedure. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing the highest standard of care was evident throughout the entire surgical journey.

What sets Anheuser Animal Clinic apart is not only their expertise but also their unwavering compassion. The vet and her staff treated my dog as if she were their own, providing a level of personalized care that is hard to come by. They took the time to understand my dog's unique needs and tailored their approach accordingly. Their genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction, making a world of difference in our experience.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care my dog received at Anheuser Animal Clinic. From the friendly and helpful staff to the knowledgeable veterinarian, their commitment to ensuring the well-being of every patient is truly commendable. If you are in search of a veterinary clinic that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Anheuser Animal Clinic. They have earned my trust, and I am grateful to have them as our local veterinary...

I was referred to Anheuser Animal Clinic by a friend who spoke very highly of it, assuring me I wouldn’t be disappointed. Unfortunately, my experience was quite the opposite — I’ve never been so disappointed by a veterinary visit. Upon entering, I was immediately overwhelmed by the strong, unpleasant smell of feces and urine throughout the building. I’ve been to many veterinary clinics over the years and have never encountered such an odor. It made for an unsettling and unprofessional first impression. Once in the exam room, things briefly improved thanks to the veterinary technician, who was kind, professional, and attentive. Truly the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, my interaction with the doctor was disappointing. Rather than listening to my concerns, which were the reason for my visit, she spent most of the time talking about her own pets. I felt dismissed and ignored at a time when I was seeking support and answers. To make matters worse, I could clearly hear the doctor speaking harshly to her staff through the thin walls. This raised concerns about the work environment and the level of respect among the team. Even indirectly, it was disheartening to witness. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously. Pet owners come seeking compassionate, professional care — both for their animals and from the professionals entrusted with their well-being. Sadly, that was not...
