Welcome To Aid Animal Hospital Veterinarian in Kansas City (Acupuncture)

Dr. John Rowe received his veterinary degree from Kansas State University in 1990, and has been the proud owner of Aid Animal Hospital for almost two decades. Dr. Rowe is an accomplished surgeon, certified veterinary accupuncturist, and medical practitioner. He continues to search for new ways to improve the health and life of the animals he so lovingly cares for. Dr. Rowe feels strongly about keeping you informed of every aspect of your pet's health and possesses a wealth of knowledge concerning their overall care.

When not at the hospital, Dr. Rowe keeps an active lifestyle with his wife Tania and  children Nadia and Bella who also work at the clinic. He shares his household with their 4 dogs Frisco, Pablo, Ramsey, and Walter.

When we at AAH say that we treat your pet like family, we truly do. As pet parents, we know the value your pet has as a part of your family. We look forward to meeting with you and thank you for choosing Aid Animal Hospital to care for your pets.

Dr. Evans graduated in 2016 from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine with her doctorate  in veterinary medicine.  She is a native of South Carolina and will greet you with a smile and southern charm.  She has a couple fur babies of her own.  Roland is a deaf English Setter that she adopted during vet school, Arlemis a service cat who goes with Dr. Evans to provide animal therapy to rehabilitation homes, and last but not least, her other cat Tora who she was fostering but just couldn't let go.  Tora apparently keeps Dr. Evans on her toes!

In her free time, Dr. Evans enjoys being outside whether she's backpacking, camping, skiing, or playing competitive Frisbee, woodworking (she's planning on making her own furniture soon), and spending time with her fiancé.

Dr. Evans fits right in with our fun quirky bunch because she's not afraid to be herself, try new things, and be different - for instance, in college she showed chickens at the local 4-H.  She even won once!

Bella is one our our newest receptionists.  She will greet you with a smile every time!  Dr. Rowe's youngest daughter, Bella is devoted to her music and volleyball in her free time. She takes after her Dad as a drummer and is now teaching herself the guitar.  At home she helps take care of her four pet dogs Frisco, Pablo, Ramsey, and Walter.

Vina is one of our attentive technicians.  You will see her come to the front to take your furry baby back for treatment, assist with surgery, or boarding care.  We enjoy her warm-hearted approach to all of our patients - including the sweet little one you see pictured here.  Vina's warm smile, eagerness to learn, and delightful sense of humor make her a valuable part of our hospital team. 

Nadia is Dr. Rowe's oldest daughter.  As a technician she works to keep your pets happy and well cared for in the back.  From the time she was little, she and her sister Bella would read and sing to the hospital patients that her Dad would bring home. She is always chipper and ready to help.  In her free time she rocks the drum set and is an English equestrian rider.  At home she helps care for her four dogs who follow her everywhere.  We call her the dog whisperer...

One of our smiling and very caring technicians, you'll find Jeremy coming forward to escort your pet to the back for treatments, surgeries, and boarding.  He has six animals of his own at home that he cares for also.  King is Jeremy's Chow Chow pup, Jelly Bean, Chewy, and Hopscotch are his Calico cats, and Ziggs is an orange Tabby.  Ekans is his Pastel Ball Python.  In his free time Jeremy listens to music and goes to live concerts.  In between taking care of "the zoo" at home, he likes to skateboard and, growing up on a farm he's had plenty of practice around animals from pets to Buffalo.  He's perfectly odd, funny, and compassionate enough to work with the AAH team!

Ashley has worked with AAH since 2012. With a B.S. in Animal Science, we are thrilled to have her in our family here at Aid. She brings a lot of TLC to our patients during their stay here and goes out of her way to make your furry family member comfortable. With a quick and witty sense of humor, Ashley is always fun to work with and an enthusiastic technician.

Tania is seen mostly behind the scenes doing payroll and works closely with our liaison. As Dr. Rowe's wife, she is lucky to be able to laugh both at work and at home.  Mother to Nadia and Bella, Tania stays busy running a business and running after teenagers and describes her life as a three ring circus.  Irresistibly drawn to all things furry, you may find her temporarily distracted by your furry pets when you are in for a visit.  She offers no apologies for this.

Caitlin, another of our kennel attendants, can normally be found giving TLC to the pets that stay with us, whether it be boarding or hospitalization.  Caitlin likes taking guests for a frolic outside, cuddling, or just talking to them.  When not at work, Caitlin regularly paints live during art shows, and spends time outdoors with her boyfriend Devin.  The couple also keeps busy with their  three Huskies and Jack Russell, Nakita, Elvis, Sweetness, and Puppy.

Fallon, a life long friend of Dr. Rowe's daughters is one of our cheerful kennel attendants.  When your pet stays with us, she is one of our careful and thoughtful attendants who ensures your pet has a comfortable and positive experience.  Fallon likes to hike, run, and walk her German Shepherd, Bella. We are lucky enough to share Fallon with her busy college schedule.

Maddy is another of our compassionate kennel attendants as well as a long time  friend of the Rowe family.  She is currently a college student and also spends time working with children in an after school care program.  In her free time, Maddy is a talented photographer and enjoys all things art related.  At home, she relaxes at home with her  Calico cat, Callie.

Emily has over four years of veterinary experience to bring to AAH as one of our valuable receptionists.  She is outgoing, knowledgeable, and quick to help our wonderful clients and their fur babies.  When Emily is not working, she cat sits, enjoys reading, and relaxing with her own cats Tyrone and Prudence.   

You will find Maggie behind the front desk as one of our helpful receptionists.  She may or may not be hiding kittens in her scrub pockets and has found homes for several of our adoptees!  She has four years of experience in the animal medical field and is valuable in answering your questions.  At home she has two cats, Ephe and Hodor who keep her smiling on her days off.

As a kennel attendant, Annika shares her fun-loving and positive attitude with everyone she meets, whether it be humans or animals.  You will notice that Annika is always smiling, and that she is quick to help others.  Annika enjoys spending time with her fiance, Clayton, and their two dogs,  Hank the husky and a lab named Bela.  

For almost 10 years, Corrine has worked as a technician at Aid Animal Hospital.  Currently, Corrine enjoys working as a kennel attendant when she isn't at home with her family.  The furry part of the family consists of a black lab named Ace, a cat named June, and a ferret named Bueler.  Corrine enjoys playing volleyball, watching Netflix, and spending time with her family. 

Kale, one of our kennel attendants has ten years of veterinary care experience and can be seen taking your pets for frequent walks.  He is a dependable and cheerful member of our AAH family.  At home Kale has two Boston terriers, Odie and Perry,  a Westie mix named Mikey, and two cats, Gemma and Simon.

Kerry is one of our helpful and knowledgable receptionists.  Even though she only works part time, she is a full time member of the AAH family and we are lucky to have her! At home she shares her personal space with her calico Helen and her Australian shepherd Kali.

Pilgrim is one of our resident cats and quite the social butterfly.  While he started life out a bit rough as a ferrel cat, he's become our  primary Greeter and Chief at AAH. You may find him lounging on the reception desk if he isn't supervising treatments in the back from his windowed perch.

Milo, our second feline greeter, skirts around corners, observing hospital life from a distance.  He and Pilgrim are quite good buddies and can be found taking the occasional mid-afternoon nap together. 

Hank, our third feline family member, is our funny, cross-eyed cutie who periodically graces our client's presence.  In his off time, Hank enjoys being held and complimented on his good looks.

Aid Animal Hospital is proud to announce that we now offer laser therapy to pet owners in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The addition is part of Aid Animal Hospital's continued commitment in advanced technologies and progressive procedures in veterinary medicine.

Lasers have been used in human medicine for over 30 years, but are just beginning to appear in the veterinary field as doctors and animal lovers learn more about the benefits they can provide. Research indicates that the family pet is increasingly treated as a member of the family, and maintaining a quality of life for that pet is very important to their owners. Laser therapy provides us with an opportunity to meet the needs of our patients, and offer the highest level of care possible.

Laser therapy has several benefits over traditional pain and mobility treatments, including very rapid disappearance of pain, even that of neuralgic origin (pain coursing along a nerve). During therapy, the patented delivery system synchronizes superior energy frequencies delivering superior results in less time.

The versatility of the laser allows a doctor to treat sore muscles and joints, degenerative joint conditions, neurological pain, chronic non healing wounds as well as anti-inflammatory conditions.

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have regarding this or any other service we offer to improve the quality of life for you and your pet. We pride ourselves on staying on the leading edge of technology and medicine, and educating our clients on the various levels of care available. Laser therapy is the future of veterinary medicine and we feel our clients deserve to have that option when choosing the best care for their pet.

Our doctors and staff perform dentisry procedures. Dental disease is a common and often overlooked problem in pets. While cavities represent the most common dental disease of humans, dogs and cats are more frequently bothered by tartar buildup on the teeth. Tartar accumulation leads to irritation of the gums around the base of the teeth, ultimately leading to the exposure of the roots. Potential outcomes of this tooth root exposure include gum infections and tooth loss. The bacteria from the tartar can cause other serious health concerns. Bacteria in the blood stream can affect the liver, kidneys and heart as well as other aspects of your pet's health. It's not just about having clean fresh breath; it's a medically necessary procedure to prevent long term health issues. Proper cleaning of the teeth requires complete cooperation of the patient so that plaque and tartar can be removed properly. Anesthesia is required to thoroughly clean the teeth. Many owners have a high degree of anxiety related to general anesthetic, be aware that your pet's general health may ultimately be compromised by delaying proper dental care. To minimize risk, our hospital uses modern anesthetics that are deemed safe even for older pets. Also, depending on your pet's age and general health status, blood may be drawn prior to anesthesia to evaluate blood cell counts and blood chemistry.

Regular visits are important and we provide the best in care for your fur babies through every stage of life.  Consistent check-ups are key to maintaining optimal health and wellness, particularly since our patients can't tell us when something doesn't feel quite right.  Healthy pets are happy pets. From screenings, vaccinations, x-rays, to supplements, AAH is committed to contributing to and supporting  the best quality of life for your loved ones.
