Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

It was our first time at The Animal Neurology Center with our sweet girl Winnie and we are beyond impressed! The facility and front staff are so welcoming. Our girl Winnie is in great hands with Dr. Wininger. He personally sat down with my husband and I to thoroughly explain our dog’s diagnosis and where to go from here. We never felt rushed and all our questions were answered. I’m so glad we found The Animal Neurology Center for our girl.

My dog Elsa was seen by Dr. Wininger on February 19th. The entire staff from the front desk, assistants, and Dr. Wininger, himself, were all so kind and compassionate. When one is taking their dog to a neurologist, it is quite overwhelming and worrisome. Every person we met made me feel more at ease. Dr. Wininger is very thorough and presents all the options. He wants the very best treatment plan for your pet, as well as for the pet parent. He is an incredible vet specialist, and his staff is top notch!

Initially I was very hesitant on getting my dog, Marley, surgery however Dr. Winiger and his staff explained everything throughly and made me feel very confident and comfortable with the decision to go through with the surgery. Marley is back to his normal self and we are so freaking grateful! Even the front desk and the night shift staff that watched Marley through out his stay were amazing and would give me updates whenever I called.

We had an amazing experience with ANC. Dr. Wininger and his team were willing to see our dog last minute on a Saturday evening of a holiday weekend. Their bedside manner for both dogs and humans was top notch especially since it was an emotional and scary situation. Dr. Wininger's operation went perfectly and our dog's recovery has been smooth and he has returned to his normal self! I'd also add that the facility is extremely comfortable and looks great! Highly recommend!

I have a (female) 10-year old dachshund (Abbey). On a Saturday morning she woke unable to use her back legs. I placed a call to my veterinarian, who was not in on this designated day but her well-informed staff recommended I go to the Hawthorne Animal Hospital in Edwardsville ‘quickly’. Once there, a very knowledgeable veterinarian saw her & ultimately a conversation ensued as to whether I’d want to pursue surgery (if this was the recommendation following an MRI). After this brief conversation, she referred me to the Animal Neurology Center in Creve Coeur, Missouri. Upon arrival, staff were waiting for us. A decision was made to pursue an MRI & determine whether surgery would be necessary. Ultimately, that’s exactly what occurred. Once surgery was over, Abbey required several days of remaining in their care (which was superb). Their staff also called me each morning with a report on her progress & allowed me to call each evening to discuss how her day went. Abbey has been home now for several weeks & has begun utilizing her back legs once again. Dr. Wininger & his staff are the best! Exceptional discharge plans were provided thus making things easy upon our arrival home. I’m incredibly thankful for the Animal Neurology Center & their caring staff.
