Homestead Veterinary Hospital Offering routine and 24 hour emergency care for your equine, canine or feline companion. Homestead is a comprehensive veterinary hospital serving St.

Louis County, Franklin County, Jefferson County, and southern Warren County areas. Our goal is to provide excellent veterinary medicine and client education with outstanding hospitality and compassion. We have strived to make our hospital a calm, comfortable, and kid-friendly environment, so your pets can feel secure in the exam room or barn, while waiting to meet our Homestead veterinarians. Our 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.
