MONETT, MO – August 13, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Monett Veterinary Hospital is drawing attention to the advanced surgical and dental care available locally, reminding area pet owners that comprehensive procedures once associated only with distant specialty centers are accessible within their own community. The AAHA-accredited facility, which has served southwestern Missouri for more than 70 years, provides a range of options built around laser and radiowave techniques designed to reduce pain, bleeding, and recovery time compared with traditional methods.
The hospital applies these advanced surgical approaches to tumor removal, corrective procedures, and declaw procedures, among others. Laser and radiowave techniques allow for less invasive treatment, which can shorten the time pets need to heal. Procedures are performed in a fully equipped sterile surgical suite that features patient warming devices, continuous monitoring equipment, and isoflurane gas anesthesia, with certified technicians overseeing every stage of care.
Monett Veterinary Hospital Pet and Animal Surgery covers a broad spectrum of needs, ranging from routine spay and neuter to advanced orthopedic, abdominal, thoracic, and trauma surgeries. The hospital also accepts referral procedures from other local veterinarians who seek its surgical resources and experience for their own patients.
Each routine procedure is accompanied by a comprehensive surgical care package. That package includes a pre-surgical exam, pre-anesthetic laboratory testing, pain management, a nail trim, continuous monitoring throughout the procedure, and a follow-up exam within 10 to 14 days. This structure is intended to support both patient safety and a smooth recovery.
Dental care represents another significant part of the hospital’s surgical services. A full-service dental suite offers cleanings, root planing, extractions, oral surgery, and laser therapy. These services address dental disease, a condition that affects more than 80 percent of pets over the age of seven and that can contribute to broader health complications when left untreated.
“Advanced surgical and dental care should not require families to travel far from home,” said Erin Carnes, a spokesperson for Monett Veterinary Hospital. “The goal is to give pets in this region access to modern techniques and thorough monitoring in a setting that has been part of the community for decades.”
Carnes noted that accreditation plays a central role in how the hospital operates. “AAHA accreditation reflects standards that touch every part of a procedure, from anesthesia protocols to post-operative follow-up,” she said. “That framework guides the care each patient receives before, during, and after surgery.”
Founded in 1953 by Dr. C.J. McCormick, Monett Veterinary Hospital has grown from a single-veterinarian practice into a full-service, AAHA-accredited small animal hospital in Monett, Missouri. The hospital received the AAHA Commitment to Excellence Award in 2007 and has been recognized with a Veterinary Economics Architectural Award for Excellence. Its services include routine and major surgery, orthopedic surgery, laser and radiowave surgery, radiology, internal medicine, an in-house laboratory, pharmacy, preventive care, therapeutic diets, grooming, boarding, doggie daycare, and the TLC Wellness Care program. The hospital continues to focus on supporting a better quality of life for pets and the families who care for them throughout the region.
