Welcome to Belton Animal Clinic & Exotic Care Center where we understand how much you care about your pets.  Whether your pet is a dog named Sparky, a cat named Muffin or an iguana named Izzy, we strive to keep him or her healthy and comfortable with an emphasis on preventative medicine in order to give you peace of mind.

Today, pets have become family members and our best friends, offering companionship and unconditional love. We provide pet owners with more options, better resources, and educational involvement to develop a lifetime health care plan for their special companion.  We accomplish this by having a compassionate, knowledgeable and professional staff that utilizes the latest technological advances and implements the foremost medical practices.

AHAA Accredited Practice
What is AHAA?  It stands for American Animal Hospital Association and we are an accredited member.   What does that mean to you?  We have undergone stringent requirements to become one of 18% of nationally accredited clinics. 

AAHA developed the Accreditation Program to raise the level of care being provided to companion animals. They also wanted to increase loyalty among veterinary staff members and provide a way for practices to show their excellence to their communities and clients. AAHA, along with a group of veterinary experts, developed the AAHA Standards of Accreditation as benchmarks of excellence. They also developed the evaluation system where practices are regularly evaluated by a Practice Consultant to ensure they meet AAHA’s standards.
