  AFTER HOURS:

  Dear Clients of MVPH,

  Over time, the practice of veterinary medicine continues to progress and evolve. With this progression has come a change in the expected standard of care in the case of after-hours medical emergencies. A lone veterinarian without support staff, limited physical abilities and the inability to hospitalize and monitor overnight no longer meets the expected standard in our profession, or the quality of care we wish to offer.

  It is with careful consideration and a heavy heart that we have decided that as of January 1, 2025, we will no longer be offering after-hour care. We never thought that this was something that we would be contemplating, but for the safety and quality of care for our patients, this is a necessary move.

  There are multiple emergency clinics within approximately an hour of Mankato that are fully staffed and better equipped to handle emergencies and after-hours care. We most frequently recommend Allied Emergency Service in Eden Prairie and Rochester, or South Metro Animal Emergency Care in Apple Valley. An extensive list of options can be found on our website, in the After Hours Page

  We hope that you will understand and respect the basis of our decision and know that we have the best interests of all our patients at heart. As always, we will continue to work hard to provide for the care of your pets.

  Sincerely,

  The Doctors and Staff of Minnesota Valley Pet Hospital

  WARNING: Mouse Poison

  Rodenticides (mouse poisons) are highly toxic to pets—if ingested, the results could be fatal. If you must use these products, do so with extreme caution and put them in places inaccessible to your pets.

  There are two common types currently available:

  Brodifacoum – an anticoagulant that has an antidote available.

  Bromethalin – a neurotoxin that has NO available antidote. 

  If you pet has gotten into a mouse poison, call immediately and have the packaging available for the doctor.  If you use mouse poisons, know what you are using and keep the package available just in case.

  While springtime sees the reemergence of mosquitoes, and renewed concerns regarding heartworm disease transmission, we encourage the year-round use of oral parasite preventatives. [ Read More ]

  We recommend both Heartworm pills and Flea and Tick preventatives year round because you can never  let your guard down in regard to parasites.  Intestinal parasite prevention, flea and tick preventatives, and up to date vaccinations are important, especially before visits to the dog park or commingling with others. If you have questions, or need to check on your pet’s vaccination status, just give us a call.
