Our Mission

Minnepau is a small animal veterinary clinic established in 2020 in the Saint Anthony Park neighborhood of Saint Paul.   

Our health center provides routine preventative care for healthy pets, sick calls, vaccinations, dentistry and surgery services, as well as diagnostic and disease treatment for aging animals.  We believe that by inspiring pet-owners to provide the best healthcare for the animals in their family, both pets and owners can live long, happy lives together.

What's in a name?

Why Minnepau? Since our clinic is located on the border of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, naturally we have big love for both cities.  Therefore, the practice name is a combo of both MINNE for Minneapolis and PAU for Saint Paul.  And isn't it just cute that 'pau' makes you think of paws?

In addition, the name Minnepau has other local significance.  The U of M golf course down the road was originally named Minnepau before changing its name to honor MN golf legend Les Bolstad.   Lots of the artwork in our clinic gives a nod to our business name and shows our Twin Cities love!
