About Crysler Animal Hospital & AniMed
For over 40 years, Crysler Animal Hospital has been a trusted name in the Kansas City metro, serving Independence, Raytown, Lee's Summit, and other surrounding communities. As a full-service hospital, Crysler specializes in companion animal and exotic pet care, from wellness exams and vaccinations to advanced diagnostics and surgery, and is equipped with digital and dental radiography, in-house labs, ultrasound, and CO2 laser.
AniMed Animal Hospital, located in Blue Springs, is Crysler's sister hospital and shares the same commitment to compassionate care and client communication. AniMed has built a loyal client base of its own and is growing right alongside Crysler, creating this joint opportunity to add a doctor who can help both practices continue that growth.
