Springfield has plenty of veterinary options, so it is fair to ask why a south-side family would choose a clinic in Ozark. What sets McClure apart is the combination: a small, independently operated clinic where the doctors know your pet by name, with in-house diagnostics, surgery, dentistry, boarding, grooming and at-home care all available from one team.
Dr. Meda Bacon founded McClure in 2017 after years in mixed animal practice and after starting Greener Pastures, her in-home end-of-life service. Dr. Michael Opsomer (“Dr. Mike”) brings more than two decades of small animal medicine and surgery experience.
Diagnostics and Treatment Under One Roof
When your pet is sick, waiting days for answers is hard. Our Ozark hospital is set up to find answers quickly:
- In-clinic laboratory: same-day results for bloodwork, urinalysis, cytology and more.
- Digital X-rays: high-resolution imaging for injuries, mobility problems and internal concerns.
- Ultrasound and echocardiograms: non-invasive imaging of the abdomen and heart. Our head technician, Beth, is certified in ultrasound and echocardiography.
- Allergy testing and treatment: relief for itchy skin, ear infections and food or environmental allergies.
- In-house pharmacy: prescriptions, preventives and therapeutic diets ready before you leave.
For preventive care, we offer wellness exams, vaccinations, microchipping, spay and neuter and dental cleanings.
Mobile Vet Care for Springfield Homes
If the drive is the hard part, we can come to you. Our mobile service visits Springfield homes for wellness exams, vaccines, blood draws and lab testing, parasite prevention, puppy and kitten care, senior care, ultrasound, hospice support and in-home euthanasia. It is a good fit for anxious cats, large or arthritic dogs, senior pets and multi-pet households.

Boarding and Grooming for Springfield Pets
Many Springfield families pair their vet visits with our boarding and grooming services. Dogs stay in medium or large runs or small-dog kennels, cats stay in a quiet feline room, and daycare is available by the half day or full day. Our team gives medications during the stay, and if your pet is due for vaccines or a fecal exam, we can take care of it while they board (additional fees apply).
