Harvester Animal Clinic

Harvester Animal Clinic is an animal hospital in St. Peters, MO. The practice treats dogs, cats and smaller animals such as hamsters and guinea pigs, and serves St. Peters and the surrounding areas. It holds a rating of 4.80 from the customers who have reviewed it. Care covers wellness and preventive medicine, emergency care, advanced and routine surgery, ultrasound and X-ray diagnostics, and same-day sick appointments, with same-day appointments prioritized whenever possible. The clinic is owned by veterinarian Dr. Tom Schwartz, who leads a team of doctors and staff.

The practice dates to 1973. Dr. Schwartz bought it in 2019 with the aim of building a modern, family-oriented practice in a welcoming, fear-free environment, and the clinic now operates from a new facility. Its approach includes separate cat-friendly areas, spacious runs for dropped-off pets, and cozy waiting areas, along with a fear-free handling style. Every visit is customized to the individual pet, whether a dog, cat or pocket pet.

Surgical services include ACL and CCL repair, TPLO, foreign body removal, tumor removal, spays, neuters and anesthetic dental cleanings, as well as orthopedic work for fractures, dislocations, ligament tears and joint deformities. The clinic also performs dewclaw removal, cherry eye repair, enucleation and other procedures. Ultrasound is used to monitor pregnancy, identify abnormalities in organs such as the heart or liver, and guide biopsies. Preventive care plans cover spays, neuters and dental cleanings, and the team educates owners on at-home dental care.

The clinic sits on Triad Center Drive, about a tenth of a mile from Jungermann Road and a short distance from North Saint Peters Parkway and McClay Road. The US Post Office Saint Charles South is roughly six-tenths of a mile away, with Zion School and Cottleville Fire District Station 2 each about eight-tenths of a mile from the clinic.

Dr. Schwartz has served the St. Louis area since 1994 and previously held a tenure as Director of the Veterinary Health Center at Kansas State University. His clinical interests include orthopedic surgery and ultrasonography. The practice also works with rescue animals regardless of their condition.
