Southview Animal Hospital

What Southview Animal Hospital does

Southview Animal Hospital is a full-service companion-animal veterinary hospital founded in 1971 and located at 2000 Robert Street South in West Saint Paul, Minnesota. The practice treats dogs, cats, and a broad range of exotic companion animals — birds, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, rodents, reptiles, and pot-bellied pigs — distinguishing it from typical small-animal general practices. It is wholly owned by National Veterinary Associates (NVA), a U.S. veterinary practice management group, and operates as a private, for-profit subsidiary within that network.

The hospital operates an extended-hours, seven-day-a-week care model: Monday-Thursday 7am-10pm, Friday 7am-8pm, Saturday 8am-5pm, Sunday 8am-10pm, plus 24-hour hospitalization with overnight nursing and on-call veterinary coverage. Clinical capabilities include general wellness and preventive care, advanced in-house diagnostics (CT scanner, diagnostic ultrasound, endoscopy, digital radiography, in-house laboratory), surgery (spay/neuter, soft tissue, orthopedic, laser), cardiology, laser therapy, acupuncture, exotic animal medicine, and end-of-life care. The practice also implements a documented Low-Stress / Fear-Free care protocol — separate cat and dog exam rooms, Feliway pheromone calming, private entrances for anxious pets, soft lighting and music, and optional calming medication — and accepts specialty referrals from other regional practices for CT, ultrasound, endoscopy, laser surgery, and boarded surgery.

Southview generates revenue on a pay-as-you-go professional services basis, with payment required at the time of service. Accepted payment methods include major credit cards, cash, and extended-financing products CareCredit and Scratchpay. The primary customer segment is individual pet owners in the West Saint Paul / Twin Cities metro area, served through walk-in emergency intake, scheduled appointments (booked via phone, website forms, or AllyDVM Pet Portal), and inbound referrals. A secondary segment — non-profit animal rescue organizations (Last Hope, Twin Cities Pet Rescue, BARK MN, Bitty Kitty Brigade, Save-A-Bull, Warrior Dog, Rescue Network) — receives veterinary services through a formal partnership program, generating recurring nonprofit volume alongside community-goodwill positioning. Revenue, headcount compensation data, and detailed service pricing are not publicly disclosed.
