We took our new kitten, Lucas Alexander, to Tender Care Animal Hospital yesterday to receive his complimentary exam, something they offer if you adopt from the St. Charles animal shelter. We were very impressed with our experience! The staff acted in a very caring, pleasant and compassionate manner throughout the duration of our visit! We wanted to address a few heath concerns we had about our kitten. He has an issue with one of his eyes, not life threatening, but it does cause him to not be able to open the particular eye all the way. We assume that he was born this way... anyways Dr. Emily recommended a laser procedure that she felt could help our little kitty out. The best part is, is that the St. Charles animal shelter is going to pay for the surgery!! Hopefully it will help little Lucas to open his eye up a little more! :-) Dr. Emily quickly diagnosed a minor ear infection and sent us home with the right antibiotics to clear it up within a couple of weeks. We also had a feline leukemia/FIV test done (also paid for by the St. Charles animal shelter!!!) which came back negative!! :-) Evelyn and Sequoya very kindly and patiently took the time to show me the proper way to give Lucas his medication and they also showed me how to clip his nails! I was clipping them on my own with confidence before I even left Tender Care Animal Hospital! Amanda and Karen were attending the front desk when we arrived and when we departed. They greeted us very kindly and warmly when we got there and were pleasant to interact with throughout our visit! After having such a great experience here today, I know that this is absolutely the place that I will be heading to for all of my veterinary needs and I will also recommend Tender Care to all of my family and friends in the area. Thank you Tender Care taking such good care of our kitten! (and us!!) read more

Tender Care Animal Hospital - Lucas Alexander, our new kitten, getting his complimentary initial exam after being adopted from the St. Charles Humane Society - Veterinarians Near Me - Weldon Spring, Missouri

My new pup exam ($25) was a total waste of money and time. The doctor didn't even do an exam. She rubbed him & administered two shots (Rabies + DHPP). I was charged $140 for this visit. After researching, the vaccination tag is only $5-$10 per google in St. Charles county and this vet charged me $20 for the tag itself. Highway robbery. I wouldn't be surprised they were up charging the vaccinations themselves. Take your dog elsewhere. read more

Tender Care is now owned by a corporation and the level of care has drastically decreased. They only care about their profit margins. After spending $1200, I was told it would be another $40 per dog to cut my their nails (because they don't want to do it). I don't mind a few, of course, but $40 is ridiculous. They recommended a two week check up after an issue, so I made an appointment. When I get there they tell me there will be a "recheck" charge plus a retest fee. This was not disclosed at the time of recommendation of the follow up visit. In the past follow up visits were not charged (medicine excluded). They've taken what used to be a great veterinary office that used to care and turned it into nothing more than a sales opportunity. Find an independently owned veterinary office. read more

After a long battle with hyperthyroidism and subsequent renal failure, I had to let my cat, Kitkit go. They made every effort to help her regain some strength and to keep her comfortable in the end. From the front desk staff and vet techs to both Dr. Matt & Dr. Jacob, they were so compassionate and caring. I am grateful for each one of them & appreciate the kindness & gentleness of care provided for my sweet cat. I would highly recommend this vet clinic. read more

Highly recommend. We received devastating news about our dog and were treated with understanding and empathy.

Took my sweet baby, Sprinkle here for a second opinion before we made the final decision to say goodbye (she had a large mass on her liver and was very underweight+anemic). As soon I brought her in I could feel the genuine compassion this staff has for animals. They listened to me and were extremely empathetic to the situation we had been through. Dr. Matt is one of the most caring and genuine veterinarians I've ever met. While the decision ended up being that letting her go was what was most fair for Sprinkle, I did feel some comfort knowing she had a thorough second opinion and that I was doing what was best for her. The office also sent me a beautiful sympathy card after they learned of Sprinkle's passing, which included lovely notes of condolences and support. I truly appreciate their professionalism and compassion throughout one of the hardest losses I've experienced, losing my Sprinkle. Thank you so much Tender Care, I would absolutely recommend anyone to take their pets to you with the utmost confidence. read more

Love this vet and employees. We've used Dr. Matt most of the time, but been using this place for the past 10 years and have no complaints. Ordering in medications for easy pickup and care for our pups and ultimately helping make tough decisions in the past a couple of times. Now our new golden doodle puppy is going to the same place as our lost older dogs. They take great care and provide many options for care. Highly suggest. read more

I'll write more once I calm down. Just note our dog was not taken care of and mis-diagnosed. We had to take her to the Emergency Vet Hospital off Veterans Memorial in O'Fallon MO. They were wonderful and diagnosed the problem within 5 minutes. Needless to say our loving family member had to be put to sleep yesterday 09-16-2018. I do not recommend Tender Care. read more

We've had great experiences in the past but they don't seem to be willing to work with families as they did before. They have become "ONLINE ONLY" deals, becoming more corporate. Not as willing to go the extra mile for the pet to be comfortable. Just get them in and get them out. I still have hope they will read this and make changes. I've seen that occur before years ago but those in charge now don't seem to care. read more

I could not imagine taking my pugs any where else! I have been coming to Tendercare for the past 8 years( started when my Fiona was 8 weeks old). Everyone is always friendly and welcoming. I know my babies are in fantastic hands every time we visit and Dr. Judy Dennis truly cares about my girls. A the few occasions we have had to make an er visit Dr. Judy is on the phone the next day at 8 am checking on my babies! read more

Dr. Bob is a really compassionate and caring vet. I wish more vets cared as much as he does! I run a rescue in California and have gone to his clinic in Poway (Best Friends). He has done amazing work on many of our rescue animals. Due to the fact that I had to relocate to the Midwest it is hard to find a good vet that I trust. Luckily Dr. Bob has a clinic 3 hours from where I live. Yes I drove to Tender Care when he was in town so that my current foster dog and my cat could receive the best care. I was just as impressed with the staff at this clinic as I was with the one in Poway. If you want a compassionate and loving vet seeing your pet, this is the place to go! Thank you Dr. Bob and staff for all you do for the animals. read more

I have been taking my pug here for several years. He has some health issues from being rescued. All staff have been great every single time. From the receptionist Sharon, tech Kim, to the Dr.'s (Matt) are professional, friendly, and explain things throughly. I even got a free initial exam due to rescuing from Diana's Grove. read more

The vet was fine but when it came down to euthanizing my dear dog the front desk help( Sherrie) made my ordeal feel like just another transaction. when I asked if we could perform the task in the back of my truck Sherrie had to go ask to see if they could accommodate that request. The response was lousy, no to getting the procedure started but yes to finishing the task and oh it would have to happen in the back so all the folks out front wouldn't see what was going on. And there was no one in the parking lot. When I asked to prepay I was told $150 dollars even though it was only $40 for my last pet. When all was said and done I decided I'd had enough. I was disgusted with the lack of empathy and it being just another transaction. I said no, I've had enough I'll put my dog down myself and so I took him to his final resting place overlooking a beautiful pond he loved to swim in at my farm. He could barely move but he followed me, where I dug his grave overlooking the pond and then I ended his struggles. I miss him horribly as he was my best friend. Needless to say I will never use Tendercare veterinary services again! read more

Dr. Bob is amazing! Our black lab became seriously ill and even though Dr. Bob was over 1,500 miles away, he called as soon as he read my email detailing her symptoms, then he called the emergency surgery center to get her in right away for an MRI. We are so blessed to have him and the staff at Tender Care Animal Hospital in our lives! We are eternally grateful. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Tender Care - they have flexible hours, a great staff, and prices that are very reasonable. I brought both of my dogs to them to have routine dental cleanings and a couple of lumps removed. They provided me with before and after pics of my dogs' mouths - which was incredible to see and really showed me that my money was well spent. The vet even called the next day to make sure that my dogs did well overnight after their anesthesia. Overall, Tender Care gets an A+!!! read more

I've been taking my dogs here for almost two years now and I am extremely happy with everything they have done. I got both of them fixed there. They were very caring and understanding with all of my questions and my dogs. They went the extra mile with my bully after her surgery and actually spent time with her until she felt better down. They also kept me up to date and called after I took them home to check in. I defiantly recommend them!!! read more

Thank you so much for being so helpful & caring to our cat Sig. he's on the mend & we couldn't be happier. You are all so compassionate & understanding read more

I answered a survey on this vet via email and the doctor called me back and apologized and said they are going to make some changes. Hope they do! read more

I have been there a couple of times. Sadly, the first time was to take my dog in to be cremated. The second time was to take in my sick cat. They have always been kind and are very good with animals. read more

My dog's life was saved by the doctors at Tender Care Animal Hospital. Pixie, my Miniature Pinscher was sick throwing up and in pain. After a few days of treatment for pancreatitis, Pixie was not getting better and the doctors recommended an ultrasound, which showed she had an abscess on her pancreas. It was a very risky surgery and the doctors recommended a specialist. I could not afford the specialist, so the doctors at Tender Care did the surgery at a much more affordable price. The doctors and staff's genuine concern and excellent care of Pixie, kept her comfortable and fighting to get well. The doctors even took her home at night after surgery to keep a close eye on her. The doctors called me daily with updates on Pixie. I was allowed to visit Pixie often which kept Pixie's and my spirits up. I am so thankful to the doctors at Tender Care Animal Hospital for saving her life. read more

We are new to this area and it was vital to be able to find quality care at reasonable prices. Tender Care Animal Hospital provided us with exactly what we were looking for. The staff makes sure that you and your pet are well cared for. Options are presented up front so you are able to chose what works best for you. All procedures are explained in advance and every effort is made to ensure you and your pet are comfortable with each step along the way. We even received a follow-up call to make sure that our pet was doing ok. I can't imagine any better service anywhere else. This is the place to go for great care. read more

We had to take our cat in as an emergency today...he had a badly broken leg. They took us right in, and were very compassionate as they walked us through the exam, x-rays, and eventual euthanasia. I would highly recommend this clinic, both for routine exams and unexpected emergencies. read more

For some of us our animals are all we have. The care and love and financial commitment can be immeasurable, but as a teacher I do not have the highest financial resources. I have recently moved to the area and was looking for a loving, competent vet practice that could handle a difficult dog, but not cost me a fortune. Scooter is a rescue puppy from Southern Missouri, a schnauzer/blue heeler mix, yah he's kind of a jerk....okay he is horrible at the vet and groomers, and rather Snarly and compulsive with other people. But he is my baby. So a friend of mine told me about Tender Care Animal Hospital, thank goodness she did. The service from the front desk, and back was great. Smiles, genuine interest and on time. I was given a write up of the costs of the service before the treatment so I could choose the options I thought were important and could afford. Never had a vet do that before. But I am writing this to tell you why you should go...the vet tech's Gabby and Brittanie were amazing with my Lil devil dog. During a very tense moment Dr Emily, Gabby, and Brittanie calmed my boy, not worried about their own comfort.....did their work quickly and like a fine oiled machine "team," was able to make a traumatic experience a good, and safe experience. My stress level was reduced to zero. I know where I can trust to take my dog. Tender Care is not just a name. Sincerely, Shannon Fox read more

I began taking my two dogs to Tender Care at the recommendation of my brother and sister-n-law. They have only exceeded my expectations. My 10 year old standard poodle was in pain from arthritis in her hips. They began her on Deramaxx and at the age of nearly 14, there are times she appears to smile. Two years ago, she began losing interest in food, going out, getting up, etc. It did not look good for her. The vets at Tender Care would not stop until they discovered what was wrong. She had high blood pressure which was affecting the rest of her organs. She began taking medication for her pressure and considering she weighs 37 pounds and will be 14 in June, she is doing amazing! I got my dog back! She looks and acts 10 again! They definitely saved her life and I would not imagine taking my girls to anyone else! Plus their staff is so supportive and so much fun, I look forward to seeing them for checkups, to buy food or Frontline, etc. Please give them a try. They feel like family. They are located in a terrific location off of Hwy 40 in Weldon Spring. read more

My pets are my family, which is why I ONLY bring them to Tender Care. I have had some awful experiences at different clinics in the past, which is why I want to give other pet lovers the great recommendation of going to Tender Care. The staff is friendly and their love of animals is evident. Not to mention, their prices are reasonable and far better than other clinics who could never match their service. Our technician Bri treats my pets like they were her own-it is so comforting to know someone is caring for my pet as well as I would. My pets are never afraid of going to the vet because they are so excited to see Bri and get showered with love and treats! Dr. Emily is so kind and gentle with my animals, and so helpful in addressing all my concerns. I rely on her expertise and advice in giving my pets the best possible care. The office manager Sara is exceptional; she clearly cares deeply about her staff, clinic, animals and clients, and it shows in the care we receive! I am so grateful to them all for taking care of my babies, it is such a relief to know they will always be taken care of. Thank you Tender Care! read more
