OUR MOTTO Everyone leaves our clinics happier than when they came in.
From our team’s well-being to our clients, our energetic veterinarians care. We have two small animal clinics: one in Cape Girardeau and one in Sikeston. These are great college towns to live and work with wonderful restaurants, entertainment, and nature venues to enjoy. We're two hours south of St. Louis and three hours away from Memphis and Nashville.
Our busy practices are in need of a full or part-time veterinarian.
