Agave Animal Hospital is a new veterinary hospital expected to open in early 2027 — bringing thoughtful, up-to-date care to the pets of St. George and Washington County, from wellness visits to dentistry, surgery, and urgent care.
We founded Agave Animal Hospital to give St. George pet owners a warm, welcoming place where exceptional medicine meets genuine care. As more local clinics are bought up by national corporations, Agave is proud to be truly independent and privately owned — so the people caring for your pet answer to you, not to shareholders. Whether your pet needs a routine checkup, a dental cleaning, surgery, or help on a worrying day, our team is here to guide you with honesty and compassion.
We treat every pet like our own and take the time to truly listen to you.

We expect to open in early 2027 at 6021 S River Rd in St. George — and we’re working hard to open even sooner if we can. Reach out through our contact page and we’ll keep you posted as opening day approaches.
Yes. Agave Animal Hospital is a new veterinary hospital in St. George, Utah, and we are excited to welcome new patients when we open in early 2027. The fastest way to get on our list is through our contact page — share your pet’s details and we’ll help you schedule a first visit as soon as we open our doors.
Once we open — expected early 2027 — our hours will be Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday. Hours may expand as we grow — check our website for the latest.
We plan to offer drop-off for technician visits and doctor appointments once we open — a convenient option for busy pet parents. Bring your pet by, our team completes the visit during the day while your pet rests in one of our comfortable kennels, and you pick them up when it fits your schedule. Kennels are reserved for hospitalized patients and daytime drop-off visits — Agave will not offer overnight pet lodging.
We expect to open in early 2027 — and we'd love to hear from you before then. Reach out now and you'll be among the first to know when booking opens.
