History

In 1970 Dr. Don Walsh opened the Ellisville Veterinary Clinic located on Clarkson Rd. Dr. Walsh saw both small animals and horses. The mixed practice continued to grow over the next 15 years. In 1985 Dr. Walsh decided to split the practice and Dr. Carter Smith purchased the small animal practice and continued on Clarkson Rd as, Ellisville Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Walsh moved the equine practice to his new large barn that sat on land that was the 1840’s Kreinkamp homestead, which inspired Dr. Walsh to name the new practice, Homestead Equine Hospital. Dr. Walsh was now able to travel making farm calls and servicing a much larger area allowing the practice to continue to rapidly grow. Dr. Mark Cassells and Dr. Derek Craig were later hired. In January of 2009 Dr. Cassells and Dr. Craig purchased the hospital from Dr. Walsh, After 30 years of being stuffed into the original office with 4 Vets and 10 employees, we moved to the new location. July 7th 2014 was the first day open at the new hospital on Whispering Hope Drive in Villa Ridge, Mo. The new facility enables us to provide the best state of the art care for all our patients both small and large animal, while enabling us to grow and better serve the community. Our Mission Statement
To provide comprehensive, high quality veterinary medicine, with exceptional client service and patient care and an emphasis on client education. Our Hospital Philosophy
To treat our clients as our family and convey that we value their continued trust and goodwill. Courtesy and patience with clients and their pets is our top priority. We find it important give back to our community and make it our responsibility to lessen our carbon foot print, by recycling and conserving energy.

Pictured below are the before and after pictures of his pylorus. We apologize for the picture quality, the pictures taken during the exam are screen shots at the time of scoping.

Don't forget Homestead is running a gastroscope special through the end of the year. You will receive 15% off the initial diagnostic scope, and if ulcers are present will receive 15% off the recheck scope in 28 days. Also, you will have discount on treatment of ulcers, if present.

Please help us welcome our new small animal veterinarian, Dr. Jared Steck!

I am Jared Steck, a 2017 graduate of the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. Before applying to veterinary school, I attended Truman State University in Kirksville Missouri, where I graduated with a degree in chemistry. After veterinary school I practiced in Drexel, MO for two years as a mixed animal veterinarian and then in North Carolina doing emergency and relief work. My professional interests include small animal preventative medicine, surgery, and working with the occasional farm animal. During my free time I enjoy spending time outside, gardening, and working on my family's farm in central Missouri. I am looking forward to exploring the greater St. Louis area and serving Homestead Veterinary Hospital clientele as a companion animal veterinarian.
