A Tradition of Care
We cherish the personal connection we've built with our clients over the years. While our technology and practices have advanced, our dedication to exceptional patient care remains unchanged. From our early days of mailing newsletters to our current state-of-the-art facilities, we've always prioritized the well-being of our patients.
Community and Philanthropy
At MSVH we are deeply engaged in supporting our local community through partnerships, education, and outreach. We serve as a clerkship site for fourth-year veterinary students from Oklahoma State University, provide mentoring and hands-on training for internationally trained veterinarians through the PAVE program, and offer veterinary technology externships via OSU-OKC. We also work with Moore Norman Technology Center and their veterinary assistant program. MSVH we support underserved pet families by collaborating with Norman Animal Welfare via the Spay/Neuter Initiative for Pets (SNIP), act as a donation station for St. Francis Animal Resource Center, and support wildlife care through WildCare Oklahoma.
An Educated and Compassionate Team
Our skilled team includes dedicated veterinary assistants and nationally certified Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs). Our highly qualified RVTs undergo rigorous training and continuing education to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. We believe that pets are cherished members of the family, and we treat them with the love and respect they deserve.
