Our Story
Driven By Excellence.
Driven by their vision to advance veterinary medical care while fostering an inspiring hospital culture, Drs. Michael and Tracy Schlicksup created CVETS with the intention of forming a full-service, privately-owned, veterinary hospital in Columbia. CVETS has quickly become Columbia’s only privately owned veterinary hospital that provides 24 Hour Emergency and Specialty Care in Surgery, Critical Care, Anesthesia, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Radiology, Oncology, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Dermatology and Dentistry in one facility.
“Our goal has always been to provide exceptional care and client services in a culture that allowed our team to grow, develop, and flourish in their jobs.”
