I have been with Tesson Ferry Bank for over 25 years. They are very personable, which I love. Have treated my pets when they were sick. Were there for me when I had to have a pet euthanized. Love all the Doctors & Staff.

Extremely nice and caring. They called me out of the bue after visiting them, to check on my dogs status.

I have been taking my dogs and cats to Dr. Bojrab for over 30 years, and he has always been just great, very caring and knowledgeable. I have also taken animals to the other doctors at Tesson Ferry Veterinary Hospital, and they are great too. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful. It is a pleasure going there!

Riley is my daughter's Boxer that was adopted from SE Missouri around 8 weeks old. Dr Don Bojrab was her Vet for about the first 6 months, we noticed Riley was having a few loose stools right about that time. Then my daughter moved with her fiance to Omaha, Nebraska. Riley's condition worsend, her stool was getting thinner and as time went on she began bleeding every time she defecated. Riley began losing weight and her personality was changing, from a sweet loving dog - to an angry dog. Our daughter took Riley to several Vets up in Omaha - they tried so many different treatments and food on Riley - Nothing worked. It go so bad that Riley couldn't control her bowels and the bleeding was getting so bad - she would just defecate blood!! $1500 and several Vets later, our daughter calls us crying and frantic that she can't take it anymore - Riley is in pain and suffering and she didn't know what else to do!!! So, I immediately called Tesson Ferry Vet Hospital and talked to Dr Don Bojrab..he did not know that this was still going on with Riley. So, he said, "If you can get Riley to St. Louis, I will gladly try to see what I can do for her?" I then drove 14 hours round trip to get Riley to Dr Don. He kept her for over a week - took her outside himself to see how she was defecating, he looked over all the treatments the other Vets had tried, he looked at what foods Riley was eating, he researched her symptoms and called another Vet that treats alot of Boxers. He did everything that the Veterinarians in Omaha did Not!!

He really cares about the animals he treats!!! Finally, after a few weeks of trying things and watching her closely - he found that Riley has a rare genetic disease, common to Boxers called Hisitive ulceratic colitis (I am sure I botched this) she has to be on a Very Mild diet the rest of her life!! She had to take a Super antibiotic to kill off anything in her colon that could continue to irritate (causing the bleeding) and some other meds but after about a month she was weaned off of all medication and is medicine free now - just eating Science Diet ID!!! She is a different dog today - Healthy female weighing 51 lbs. no longer bleeding with a normal stool AND she is no longer Angry dog!! She is hyper but a very happy dog!! So is her owner!!! Dr Don was the ONLY vet that took the time to keep her overnight and watch her closely - the other Vets did not!!! Riley would have probably died had we not brought her back to STL to Tesson Ferry Vet Hospital - the WHOLE staff there is great - they really care about your pet!!! We can't Thank them enough!!
