You can still reach us through the 2nd Ave exit off 53, but if you're driving through town, you may need to re-route!

The City of Virginia announces a temporary road closure of 2nd Avenue between 8th Street South and 10th Street South. This closure, scheduled to start on Monday, August 26, 2024, and conclude by September 16, 2024, is necessary for the construction of the new Virginia Public Safety Center at the corner of 8th Street South and 2nd Avenue. During this period, construction crews will be connecting utility lines to existing water and sewer systems.

2nd Avenue will be closed throughout this timeframe, and traffic will be detoured through adjacent streets. Please follow the detour signs to help reduce disruption to local neighborhoods.

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Bill Treichel and Dr. Lexi Baldwin this week for seeing as many emergencies and appointments as they could for us while Dr. Tuominen is working the St. Louis County Fair!

Have fun and be safe this holiday week! We will be closing Wednesday at noon until Monday at 8 AM.

Please call ahead for prescription refills. :)

Is your dog longing for sunny days? We are too! If you need to stock up on short-term anti-anxiety meds for storms and fireworks, now is the time to call us!

(If your pet isn't a current patient with us we legally won't be able to prescribe anything, but over-the-counter anxiety aids like Adaptil pheromones or Vetriscience Composure Pro could still be used.)

Not all dogs react the same way to prescription anti-anxiety meds and something else needs to be prescribed or added.

Calling ahead insures you have time to trial the medications before we close from Wednesday, July 3rd at noon and re-open Monday, July 8th at 8 AM.

Due to Dr. Tuominen's own veterinary emergency, we will be closed tomorrow (Friday, May 24th).

We will re-open after the holiday on Tuesday, May 28th.

We are open today, Thursday, May 23rd until 5 PM. If you tried contacting us this morning during the city-wide power outage, please try again! VPU has restored our power and our phones are back online.
