MONETT, MO – March 03, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Monett Veterinary Hospital, a leading AAHA-accredited animal care facility serving southwestern Missouri since 1953, announces the expansion of its comprehensive diagnostic and boarding services to better serve pet owners in Aurora and surrounding communities. The hospital continues to enhance its capabilities in advanced veterinary diagnostics while introducing specialized boarding programs that combine professional care with training opportunities.
The expansion addresses growing demand from Aurora-area pet owners seeking advanced veterinary care closer to home. Monett Vet Diagnostic Services now encompasses a complete range of testing capabilities, including radiology, ultrasound imaging, and comprehensive in-house laboratory analysis. These enhanced diagnostic tools enable veterinarians to provide faster, more accurate diagnoses for pets requiring medical attention.

“Our commitment to serving the broader southwestern Missouri region means continuously investing in the technology and expertise that pet owners expect,” said Erin Carnes, Hospital Administrator at Monett Veterinary Hospital. “The expansion of our diagnostic capabilities allows us to identify and treat conditions more effectively, ultimately improving outcomes for our patients from Aurora and beyond.”
The hospital’s boarding facilities have also undergone significant enhancements to meet evolving pet care needs. Monett Vet Dog boarding with training represents a comprehensive approach to pet care that goes beyond traditional boarding services. The program combines secure, climate-controlled accommodations with structured activities and basic training reinforcement during each pet’s stay.
The facility maintains separate boarding areas for dogs and cats, ensuring appropriate environments for each species. Canine guests receive supervised socialization opportunities, while feline boarders enjoy quiet, stress-free spaces designed specifically for their comfort. All boarding guests benefit from daily health observations by trained veterinary staff, customized feeding schedules, and medication administration when required.
“Pet owners today want more than just a safe place to leave their animals during travel,” explained Carnes. “They’re looking for facilities that can maintain training routines, provide enrichment activities, and offer the peace of mind that comes with having veterinary professionals on-site.”
The hospital’s diagnostic services support both routine wellness examinations and complex medical cases. Advanced imaging equipment allows veterinarians to perform orthopedic evaluations, internal medicine diagnostics, and pre-surgical assessments. The in-house laboratory provides rapid results for blood work, urinalysis, and other critical tests, eliminating delays often associated with external laboratory processing.
Monett Veterinary Hospital has maintained AAHA accreditation since 1983, meeting stringent standards for veterinary practice management, facility quality, and patient care protocols. The hospital received the AAHA Commitment to Excellence Award in 2007 and earned recognition through the Veterinary Economics Architectural Award Excellence program.
Founded by Dr. C.J. McCormick in 1953, Monett Veterinary Hospital has evolved from a single-practitioner clinic to a comprehensive veterinary facility offering surgical services, preventive care programs, grooming, and specialized wellness plans. The hospital serves pet owners throughout southwestern Missouri with a focus on compassionate, professional veterinary care.
