Part-time Veterinary Receptionist

About Us

For more than 60 years, the Troy & Wentzville Veterinary Clinics have been helping clients in Troy, Wentzville, Moscow Mills, Cave, Flint Hill, New Melle, and throughout Lincoln and St. Charles counties maintain the health and wellbeing of their companion animals, beef cattle, and equines. We understand the deep bond our clients share with their pets, as we are pet owners ourselves and consider our furry friends family. Similarly, we share a passion for horses, having grown up around them and often still riding. For our farming clients, we provide expert care and advice to protect herd health and enhance livestock productivity. Our clinics are dedicated to offering the best medical care—preventative or emergency—for all animals, supported by a team that delivers experienced, loving care.
