    I have been using them for 25 years, but this year I was dealt a blow with a severely diabetic…read morecat.. After a horrible experience across town, I came to Noah's Ark for help after it was recommended I put my cat down... Noah's Ark worked with me and Seymore and together we were able to give him 5 extra months of family time and memories. He lost his battle yesterday and I am so very thankful to have had this team with me. Seymore always knew when we were "Goin to see the ladies" as I would put it, and I always knew he was getting love and attention when I had to leave him there. This place is a Columbia Institution and should be protected and funded at all costs.

    For most of our visits we saw Dr Greg who was great! He really took time with us, chatted, very…read moreknowledgeable and we we're comfortable with his advice. He and his wife have retired, and unfortunately it's just not the same. We took one of our dogs in due to a huge lump on her back leg that had me concerned. The new doctor looked at the lump, suggested that it was impossible to know what it was w/o surgery. Scheduled surgery, went home. I looked at the lump again, checked her all over - which the doc had not done! She's got similar smaller lumps all over, she's not bothered by them, nor is she bothered by the new big lump. I decided they were all fatty tumors which are fairly common and benign, I have similar lumps myself. We're also medical people, so we reassured ourselves! These don't require surgery, so i canceled hers. More than a year later she's still a healthy frisky 14 y/o senior. I think the doctor should've checked her thoroughly, would've recognized that she had several lumps and they were fatty tumors; shouldn't have suggested surgery as first and only option. Not sure what we'll do for the dogs vets next time, but we have been to Hortons' w/our cats.

    I'm neither talked down to nor over my head. That's important. The vet and I are a team making…read moredecisions that affect my animal's health, comfort, safety, and happiness. I need at least a basic understanding of what is or what is likely going on. Diagnosis can be problematic when the patient can't just tell you what is wrong. The vet gives me a window into what is happening and what the options are. I give him data on what I've observed and what has changed from normal. Together we can plot a course of action to get a sick or injured animal back on the road to recovery or at least to a gentle end of suffering when no other humane options are left. Then there's the bulk of visits which are maintenance like annual checkups with vaccinations, blood draws and preventive prescriptions. You want to see your animals treated with compassion when they might not be thrilled to be there. It's a small puncture to protect them from parvo, distemper or rabies but you can't explain it to them. You just have to get it done quickly and as compassionately as possible. The veterinarians and staff at Pet Center are compassionate and caring. They are knowledgeable and stay up to date. I've been with one of their vets for 20 years, through good times and through heart break. I like the way he and the other vets explain things to me and work with me to keep my much beloved cats and dogs healthy and happy.

    So I have had to find help for my Cat... Coming from a farm, we didnt grow up spending thousands on…read morevet bills, you just did the best you could. However, we now live in a world where medical care is accessible and our pets are family. So upon finding out that I needed to spend $600 to get the testing for my cat, I instantly was worried, as rent is due, car is due, and i recieve my own bi weekly medical treatment that costs over $250,000 per year. So I was initially excited to know they would work with me on doing certain tests 1st. After agreeing to $160 today, we found out it isnt his Thyroid.... So after that my anxiety set in and I tried to ask various questions to get some kind of idea on what to do... A vetinarians time is precious, as I could hear the barks and cries of several animals that also need care, so i was not expecting a long counsel... However, after she was repeating herself several times and not seeming to understand I was looking for some comfort and not another cost rundown, I could see her frustration with me building... After a few more questions, a few more repeated non answers (obviously i know she cannot diagnose my cat without the tests, im not simple) I said "clearly you are becoming frustrated with me" this seemed to embolden her to at that point realizing that she had already took all the money from me she could get, asked me to find another vet because clearly this was not working out". At no point in time was I disrespectful to her or her staff, they all seem to be amazing people, I was not loud, or condescending, it just seemed like she took the easy road knowing i had no more money to give her... Im sure if I had agreed to anouther almost $450 of testing that day, she would have found it in her heart to be a little more understanding, but clearly she was in her feelings a little too much for having been called out for her visible annoyance at me. Maybe next time, excuse youself, compose your attitude, and dont let the customer see you so out of sorts in your position of authority, as it did not instill confidence in your abilities. Over all I would not say dont go here, as everyone including the Vet seemed to be very kind people. I would just say, dont expect much empathy for not knowing how to proceed when your animal is sick.

    Jax my lab had gotten a sore in his tail and it was swollen. I took him in on a Sunday and was told…read morethat he would have to have his tail amputated. The staff was very kind and patient . I was stressed out and not pleasant to deal with and the staff was supportive. After care they allowed me to send pictures via email and ask questions. I found the cost to be less then expected, the staff to be supportive and kind, the care to be amazing. The only criticism was the first vet did not have the experience to do the surgery and recommend I go to University to get it done, the subsequent vet at Discovery had the experience and said it was not an issue to do it there. Jax healed and is happy now.

    Last night was one of the scariest, longest nights I've ever been through. After the festive events…read moreof the day and night, at around 11 PM, I had gone into my bedroom to change into my pajamas. When I came back out, I noticed a brand new empty and chewed bottle of trazodone on the ground... no lid... no pills. Oreo had chewed the bottle and possibly ingested up to 45 50 mg trazodone. I panicked. I began searching the house and backyard for signs of pills for the lid for literally anything and after thoroughly searching in the dark, I came up empty-handed. At that moment I knew we were racing against the clock. I called Mizzou, a 24 hour emergency vet here who told us they couldn't take us because we weren't already established patients (I don't understand what the point of that is) and that our first move needed to be to call the pet poison control to see what they say to do and to get a case number that we could then take to a different 24 hour vet called Horton Animal Hospital - Discovery . I called pet poison control, I got the case number, and was told to haul ass to Horton. So I did. Upon arrival however, the woman from the front desk came to the door and said, in the most rude... un-empathetic tone of voice, "We're not taking anybody in, you'll need to go to one of these other places." She said as she gestured to a piece of paper taped to the window, listing other hospitals (all two hours or more away)...and as the sheer panic set in and I began to cry, she immediately...no more words spoken...shut the door in our face. Literally shut the door in our face and walked away. I just started sobbing. The only option we had left was to drive an hour and a half to Veterinary Specialty Services - West VSS West, where the woman at the front desk (the most wonderful woman in the world) directed us to haul ass there, and took us in immediately. I am absolutely appalled and disgusted (as were the staff in O'Fallon) at how we were treated at Horton. The woman at the front desk last night had no empathy... and in my opinion, shouldn't be working there, or in that field of work, if her attitude is going to be that way towards people in their scariest, darkest hour. I've never felt so lost & abandoned by people who are supposed to help you. It felt inhumane to leave my 14-year-old son and I crying at the doors... but to just literally shut them in our face was truly... heartbreaking.... And abhorrent behavior. It left me completely speechless, dumbfounded and nauseous. The least they could've done was help us induce vomiting in the parking lot before driving so far away... and they even failed at that. I cannot express enough to anyone reading this... to not even bother going there. As it will only leave you feeling lost in the storm.
