Hillside Animal Hospital

Absolutely cannot recommend them enough. The entire staff is incredibly nice, understanding, and knowledgeable. The doctors we have had were great. We had to put a pet down, and they handled the whole process with sensitivity and aplomb. The very next day they got our second pet in for a visit because we were worried about him (he's OK). Literally called that morning and they got us in that day. Both visits were simply as pleasant as they possibly could have been, even though a very sad outcome with the first pet. That pleasantness was only because of the exceptional staff. It's cliche to say, but if you are looking for a local vet, stop looking and call Hillside.

I love this vet! My cat has vet office trauma from a vet in another state who insisted he have sedation before returning. When we moved to Saint Louis I told Hillside the whole saga and they said, "let's try another approach." They allowed extra time for Kenny Kat to adjust to the office and even put out calming pheromones around the exam room. He stayed in his carrier until he got bored and his curiosity got the better of him. He came out, started exploring, and before we knew it he was on the exam table! I cannot say enough great things about the staff and vets at Hillside!

Our dog would type this but she doesn’t have thumbs. “Hillside gets 5 stars from me. I’m a good pup but have terrible anxiety about the doctor. Hillside is kind, patient and understanding with me. They give me lots of pets and treats to help ease my nerves. They think I’m a good dog. My parents think they are knowledge and very helpful. Highly recommend.”

I love this Veteranarian office. This is our 3rd dog with them (24 years). Our 14 year old border collie Jinx, had to be euthanized due to illness and they were absolutely wonderful. My new BC Joey is now a patient and he adores the staff. I would highly recommend them.

My sweet girl was diagnosed with a Mast Cell tumor in a super tricky spot above her tail. The concern was getting clean margins. The staff let me stay with my super anxious pup until she went under. The surgery was a success with clean margins and a great prognosis. The entire staff clearly cares and wants pet parents to feel informed and calm during a stressful time.
