Heritage Veterinary Hospital was established in 1974 by Dr. McLaughlin, and Dr. Sanford purchased the practice in 2003. We’ve proudly been a part of the St. Louis veterinary hospital community, offering care to the residents of the greater Creve Coeur, MO area, including extending care to the surrounding communities of Bridgeton, Maryland Heights, Kirkwood, Chesterfield, and St. Charles, among others. Heritage Veterinary Hospital changed its name since we moved to our new location (we used to be called Heritage Veterinary Services) because we felt that the name “hospital” was a better reflection of the kinds of services that we offer to the pets of our community. Our animal hospital strives to offer the most thorough and compassionate care available, and we aim to be more than a one-size-fits-all veterinary hospital! We take each individual’s needs into account when we prescribe a treatment, and we enjoy developing a relationship with each pet and their owner. Our veterinary team enjoys personalizing the care we present to each and every client, showing just how much we care! Contact Heritage Veterinary Hospital We’ll be happy to answer your questions about our quality pet care and about your pet’s specific needs. Please contact us for more information.

Was charged 400 dollars for X-ray's and a staff google search and told nothing was wrong with our dog, to have the dog die after 3 days of him suffering...
He ended up having a jagged piece of plastic and a small ball in his stomach, but we were informed after the fact that those things wouldn't even show up on a X-ray...
We were never told to come back are get a second opinion, just that he would be fine..
It seems the staff was more concerned about making money and beating the traffic home that night then our pet, that was in need...
We have a 2 week old baby and are dealing with the death of my oldest son's mother, now we have to cremate the dog my son fell asleep with every night a long with his mother...
If you value your pets life I would suggest the many other animal hospitals in the area.. Read Less

Our dog has seen Dr. Urday since she was a puppy. They are so patient with her and always give her extra love!
They also help with common dog training issues, much like a pediatrician would. They have given us advice on potty training, leash walking, etc.
Highly recommend!!
On a sadder note, if you have to let a furry friend pass on. They have a quiet room furnished like a home, where you can say goodbye for as long as you like. They even let my cat stay in my lap during the euthanasia. It was so comforting for her and I to let her go in peace. Read Less

When I moved into a new apt complex and they required that my kitty friend required all these shots, I was so confused. So I started looking around the near by hospitals with good reviews. I have been going to the Heritage hospital for 3 yrs now and they have always been great. They are kind people at heart and shows thru great service and empathy towards your furry child. My cat can get very shy when he's at a new environment but the doctor and the staff took a great care of him. He didn't (probably) even feel the shots he got because the staff got him distracted while doctor was injecting the vaccine. I'm so thankful for the great service they provide each time and I love coming here! Read Less

Since day 1, we have been incredibly happy with their staff and services they provide (prices are reasonable, too!).Their facility is large/comfortable and most importantly clean. Although my little one tends to get nervous, the staff always speaks to her in a way that calms her nerves. Thank you for always taking great care of my little furbaby! Read Less

Brought my shichon, Piper, here after having a less-than-favorable experience at another vet in the area. We met the most caring staff, were given all the info we needed to make healthy decisions, discussed using natural remedies before medication, and got answers to all of our questions.
Piper's spay went very smoothly as well. Dropped off and picked up the same day. Upon pickup, they provided very clear instructions, gave me a number to call in case of complications (there were none), and armed me with her medication.
I am also impressed with their technology. It's very easy to book appointments, they send you reminders and request confirmation. (Probably why they're so prompt.) They have an online pharmacy and a great website too. I love the pictures they post of their "patients" and the updates and tips from their Facebook page.
It's great to have peace of mind after our visits, very reasonably priced, great environment, super staff... I can't give enough positive feedback. So glad we found Heritage. Read Less
