Specialized Carefor Neurologic Conditions

Where Passion Drives Our Practice

At Minnesota Veterinary Neurology, we have one passion: treating conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves in canine and feline patients. Our lead veterinarian, Dr. Missy Carpentier, has made veterinary neurology her life’s work.

We don’t just have extensive experience in treating neurologic patients. We’ve also stood in your shoes as pet parents. We know what it’s like to watch a beloved companion struggle with complicated neurologic conditions. The nervous system is complex, delicate, and crucial to your pet’s quality of life. We’re here to help navigate issues affecting the system.

“Dr. Carpentier is extremely thorough and honest in her recommendations for diagnostics, care plans, surgical recommendations and quality of life for dogs in our program. Her quick response time for consults and care have saved the lives of numerous dogs in our program. She always has the best interest of each dog in mind and provides top quality care with great compassion. When it comes to neurology, there isn't anywhere else we would go as we know we are receiving the best possible care. ”
