Questions? Just text us!

We’re excited to introduce our new texting service!

Current clients can reach us via text for all your questions and support needs: (612) 284-0870

This service operates on a different number than our regular voice line, ensuring your messages receive prompt attention during our business hours.

Simplify your communication with us – text, don’t stress!

We're locally-owned.

You may have seen recent reports of giant corporations or private-equity firms purchasing veterinary clinics and the negative impacts that it can have, like security threats, higher stress levels, and monopolistic behavior.

We understand that many clients may prefer corporate-run facilities, but we choose to focus on our patients first.  We have always been owned by the very doctors who serve you day-in and day-out.  We think veterinary care is a special relationship between the patients, their owners, and medical professionals.

    COVID-19 Protocol Updates

     

    Updated May 11, 2022:

    We now welcome you for your visit in our exam rooms! Our front door will now be open during business hours and we will conduct regular appointments, drop-offs, and food and medicine pickup within our clinic.  Masks are not required but are certainly welcome (and you may see us wearing them, too)!

    We are open with new hours:

    • Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday: 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
    • Thursday and Friday: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
    • Saturday: 8:00 am – noon

    We’re happy to accommodate your wishes to remain outside of our building and conduct your appointment as a “curbside” service:

    1. Please call the clinic at (952) 884-4353 when you arrive and we will come to your vehicle to collect your pet
    2. Once your pet is ready to leave, we will bring them back out to you and collect payment over the phone and email your receipt.  We realize that not every client has a cell phone or utilizes email so we will do this on a case-by-case basis (of course!)

    As always, we are SO GRATEFUL for the patience and understanding you all have displayed with these temporary changes. We’re optimistic and hopeful that the worst is now behind us!

    Sincerely,

    The Nova Veterinary Clinic Team
