Route 66 Pet Clinic

Route 66 Pet Clinic is now sadly and permanently closed. I thank you all for your business and kindness. If you need records of your pet's care, please text our cell phone at 417-430-3782. Becky

The clinic will be closing permanently Friday, December 1st. We were unable to find another veterinarian interested in taking over the practice and so we have to close our doors. I need to step away from practice in order to focus on the health of my family and myself. I greatly apologize for this huge inconvenience. If you need medications refilled prior to closure or need records transferred to another veterinary clinic, please email us or call us (although our phone lines are still screwy at the moment so please be patient with us). Thank you all for your support over these past 9 years. Becky, Jason and all past and present staff at Route 66 Pet Clinic

We are back from vacation! Yay! Construction has cut our phone line as of 730am this morning. Boo! If you are expecting a call back or trying to reach us please be patient. We are still available through our email at [email protected] in the mean time. We are sorry about this, but trust me, we are just as annoyed. Becky

From October 30th through November 3rd the clinic will be closed to allow employees to have a bit of down time/vacation.

Now moving forward... I (Dr. Becky) am planning on leaving the veterinary profession by the end of the year due to personal issues. I will still be hard at work at least through the end of the month, and may only be working limited hours until the end of the year. We are currently looking into keeping the clinic open to serve our clients' needs under someone else's direction, but with the veterinary shortage looming I am not sure that will be possible. If there are any medications that you would like to stock up on in the mean time please reach out and we will make sure we get them ordered for you. I greatly apologize for this huge inconvenience, and will keep you updated as to how things progress. I thank you all for making our little family clinic successful, and I am greatly sorry for needing to step down. Becky

Cracker Jack did great this weekend at the agility trial in Carthage! He earned fourth place his first time running in the Master standard (obstacle) course, and he earned the final leg of his Excellent title in the jumpers course, which puts him in the Masters category for both styles of courses moving forward. So proud of my little man! He definitely earned his chicken strips yesterday!

Well, we have a new crew in place going forward. Please be patient with us as our new employees get up to speed. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions as to our staffing dilemma. Everyone stay cool out there this week! Becky

Now on the more serious side of things:

The clinic is in crisis. Our 2 long term employees are seeking different employment opportunities elsewhere, and our part-timer is likely leaving for child-care purposes. We have until the end of the month to figure things out. That leaves us with no staff. And to top things off there is a veterinary assistant shortage in the job market making it very difficult to attract and hire good candidates. Any thoughts, suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Dr. Becky

Nigel's comparison run. He took an off course jump right after the dog walk and dilly dallied around the table, both of which disqualify the run. But he was having fun.
