About us

We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. We also work closely with local practices when special diagnostic procedures are required. The facility includes a well-stocked pharmacy, in-hospital surgery suite, in-house radiograph capabilities, and indoor boarding kennels with outdoor walking areas.

At R Vet at Columbia we strive to offer not only sound advice but also optimal veterinary care, thus allowing you the enjoyment of your companion for a maximum number of years. Our job is not only to treat your pet when he or she isn't feeling well but also to help you learn how to keep your best friend happy and healthy.

​​​​​​​R Vet at Columbia is located one block south of Interstate 70 and a half-block east of Providence Road on Nebraska Avenue and is a family-owned, full-service, companion animal hospital. Serving the Columbia area since 1958, we are proud to be a part of the local community.

It is our commitment to provide affordable quality veterinary care throughout the life of your pet with friendly, personalized service. We want to assist you with routine vaccinations, preventative care for your young pet, early detection, and treatment of diseases as your pet ages, and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during your pet's lifetime.

The staff of R Vet at Columbia understands how special your pet is, as each of us is also loving pet owners. We are dedicated to being a partner with you in the health care of your pet, committed to practicing the highest quality veterinary medicine and surgery with compassion and emphasis on the needs of your pet, and focused on giving friendly personalized attention to the unique concerns of you, the owner.
