life-changing work we do every day.

Rusty — Sweetest Chihuahua Every patient at ANC gets round-the-clock care, including through the night when our technicians provide the one-on-one attention that keeps recovery on track. Rusty made the most of his stay, earning the title of Sweetest Chihuahua from our overnight team. #stlouis #stlpets #theanc #veterinaryneurology #VetNeuro #VeterinaryNeurology #VetMed
Milo — Cutest, Fewest Teeth Overnight care at ANC is about keeping patients safe, comfortable, and calm through recovery. Milo did just that, and picked up a very specific honor along the way: Cutest Patient with the Fewest Teeth. #stlouis #stlpets #theanc #veterinaryneurology #VetNeuro #VeterinaryNeurology #VetMed
Comet made it clear who's really in charge at ANC today. While the team was getting him cozy with fresh blankets and treats, he decided Megan needed a little "quality time" in his run... and promptly shut the door on her. She was a good sport about her temporary confinement, and Comet's fan club (aka the rest of the team) couldn't stop laughing. Just another day of patient antics keeping us on our toes. 🐾 #ANC #FunnyMoments #TheAnimalNeurologyCenter
