Monett Veterinary Hospital is one of the few AAHA-accredited animal hospitals in Southwest Missouri — a distinction earned by only 12–15% of veterinary practices nationwide. That means every aspect of our care, from anesthesia and surgery to dentistry and pain management, meets the highest standards in veterinary medicine. Led by Dr. Erin Carnes, our team stays current on the latest advancements in companion animal care because your pet deserves nothing less. We’ve proudly served Monett and the surrounding communities since 1953, and we’re just getting started.

History Of Monett Veterinary Hospital
In 1953, Dr. C.J. McCormick founded the Monett Veterinary Hospital and it has been serving the Monett area for more than 50 years since. In 1983 the hospital gained AAHA accreditation and has exceeded the ideals that AAHA was founded on ever since.
