Our Mission
Our pets are an important part of our families. As part of our family, we expect quality care for our pets. Our mission at Cornerstone Animal Hospital has always been to provide the highest possible care for your pet. All creatures from the dog and cat to non-traditional pets such as birds, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and pot-bellied pigs deserve to receive proper care.
Quality care
We believe the following are important factors to assure quality care for your pet:
Regular training of all staff members to ensure that everyone on your pet's health team are familiar with the best techniques and knowledge available.
Professional continuing education that exceeds requirements for all veterinarians in Missouri. (Currently Missouri requires only 10 hours of continuing education of which self-taught can be up to 3 hours. Our veterinarians obtain at least 30 hours of classroom continuing education. In addition they will participate in another 10-20 hours of online course study. Our Doctors recognize that obtaining all of this new information requires dedication and hard work.)
Purchasing and maintaining top quality equipment to provide the tools to aid in proper diagnosis of your pet.
In-house laboratory equipment to quickly identify and diagnose many common problems your pet is faced with.
Association with a network of reference laboratories with capabilities of complex testing and support.
Online store and pharmacy for the convenience of our clients.
Member of Veterinarian Information Network (VIN), an online group of veterinarians from around the United States working together discussing cases, probing each other minds, and discussing the best way to treat your pet.
Participation with a network of referral clinics for specialized procedures.
