WEATHER UPDATE

The CVETS ER is open and operating, however, we ask that clients please call us at 803-995-8913 prior to arrival. Due to the inclement weather, many of the emergency/specialty veterinary hospitals surrounding the Columbia area have closed. This has resulted in a higher than usual caseload for our ER. Clients may experience extended wait times in our emergency department. We appreciate your understanding.

We are requiring that all guests (including those vaccinated) please wear a mask while inside our hospital. We appreciate your compliance.

WHY CVETS?

Exceptional People Providing Excellent Care.

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.

What Clients Said About Us

“
The Vets and staff at CVETS are excellent at what they do. They are kind and have treated our pets like their own. They gave us frequent communication on how our dog was doing while he was in their care. Highly recommend.
Melissa

“
Went for an oncology appointment and the whole staff including receptionists, Dr. Kraiza, and Ashley were so nice and helpful. Would recommend this clinic to anyone.
Kellie

“
High quality care after calling late PM since family vet's office closed. Diagnostic tests performed on geriatric cat seemed consistent with what family vet has used with another of our older cats. Concise discharge instructions & already followed up with family vet as recommended.
Libby

“
Came in on a Sunday afternoon, were processed and seen with surprising haste. Caring staff, great prices, knowledgeable experts. 10/10 will visit again.
Garrett

“
My poor baby got sick and I brought her in. When I brought her in the nurses took care of her right away. Even though it was a mild case they saved my baby and I thank them for that. This is the best place ever if you have a pet emergency.
