Vets near Kansas City
Twelve practices, all of them checked against their own website. Two say on their own site that they are open around the clock, and both are dogs-and-cats emergency hospitals on the Kansas side. Everything else on this page is daylight work and waits under it.
If it's an emergency, call before you drive.

& mixed practice
In here because the practice's own website says it treats cattle, horses, sheep or goats. A clinic that only mentions dogs and cats is not in this lane no matter how good it is.
Species shown on the clinic's own site: Dogs, Cats, Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Goats. The livestock page is headed “Veterinary care for flocks and herds” and lists an on-site cattle working facility, herd health, large animal pregnancy checks, large animal obstetrical services, and Farm Calls.

A mixed animal veterinary practice caring for “Dogs, Cats, Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits and Pocket Pets.” The large-animal service pages are Bovine Services, Goat Services and Equine Services. No farm-call claim on the site, so they are not in that lane.

An equine hospital offering “comprehensive, state-of-the-art health care to your horse” — “From general wellness to surgical and emergency treatments”. Their published hours put the word Emergency beside every day of the week, Saturday and Sunday included, but never say 24 hours, so we have printed the hours instead of promoting them.

The other half of the same errand
The farms near Kansas City keep this book honest.
Tramel Farms keeps the sister book — the working farms, stands and homesteads on this same ring, both sides of the state line. Same rule about not making things up, different page. The people who keep the animals are the people who know which vet actually answers.
SAME RING · SAME COUNTIES · DIFFERENT BOOK
The Kansas City ring on the Almanac ↗Poultry
& goats
The hardest lane to fill honestly. A practice is in here only if its own site names chickens, goats or both. “Exotics” alone does not count, and neither does a photo of a hen.
Goats are named outright in the species list on their own site: Dogs, Cats, Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Goats. The livestock page is headed “Veterinary care for flocks and herds” — flocks, which in a cattle-and-sheep county is sheep as often as it is chickens. We are not reading poultry into it.

Goats are a headed category on their large-animal page — Cattle, Goats & Sheep — with routine herd health, preventative care, vaccines, castration, dehorning and pregnancy diagnosis under it. And they will meet you either way: “We can provide both ambulatory and haul-in options.”

CHICKENS, SPECIFICALLY — NONE
All four above name goats on their own website. Not one of them names chickens, hens, poultry or backyard flocks anywhere we could find, and the closest thing to it — Atchison's “flocks and herds” — is a phrase that reads as sheep at least as easily as birds. So the goat half of this lane is full and the poultry half is empty. If you keep birds near Kansas City, the honest answer today is that nobody in this ring has put it in writing, and we are not going to guess on your behalf.
Farm call
They come to you, and their own site says so. Where a site puts a limit on it — a mileage ring, a client-only rule, a preference for hauling in — the limit gets printed with the listing instead of being smoothed over. In this ring, not one of the four did.
Farm Calls is its own heading on their livestock page, next to the on-site cattle working facility, herd health, large animal pregnancy checks and large animal obstetrical services. Nothing on the page limits how far they will drive.

How this page was made
Checked 9 August 2026 · 12 practicesTheir site or nothing
Every name, number, address, hour and overnight claim on this page was read off the practice's own website on 9 August 2026. No Yelp, no map cards, no directory scrapes. Where a practice does not publish a thing — Paola's and Drexel's hours, for two — the line says so instead of filling in.
Lanes are claims, not guesses
A practice is in the large-animal, goat or farm-call lane because its own site says it treats those animals or drives out. Cedar Ridge keeps a whole Goat Services page but never says it comes to you, so it is not in the farm-call lane. That is the whole method.
No status lights, no stars
Hours are quoted, never rendered as “open now” — the day a clinic closes early is exactly the day a status light gets you killed on the drive. No ratings, no reviews, no sponsored placements, no affiliate links. Order is by lane and species, then alphabetical.
