Services
Kingsbury Animal Hospital was established in 1978 when Dr. Steve Brammeier turned an abandoned Shell service station into his companion animal practice. Since then the doctors and staff of Kingsbury have provided veterinary and grooming services to the pets of the city of St. Louis and surrounding communities.
He earned his BS in elementary education and a masters in Elementary Administration at Southwest Missouri State University. You may be surprised to find out that he taught 6th grade in Springfield, Missouri for four years prior to veterinary school. In 2014, he bought the practice from Dr. Brammeier.
He was an In Flight Supervisor for Trans World Airlines for many years before leaving in 1997. He then started a new career in veterinary care. He worked as both a technician and Practice Manager before joining Kingsbury in 2002. He lives in the Central West End and enjoys spending time with family.

I just want to say how great the staff and Dr. Shaw are. They diagnosed my cat with a pretty severe heart murmur and got us a referral to VSS. When we went to do a dental, Dr. Shaw went above and beyond to call us and recommended and refer us to a dental specialist instead because of her heart disease. They said they could try but felt her heart disease warranted someone who is more experienced with heart disease and anesthesia. They could have went ahead and done the dental and made money off it. But Dr. Shaw laid it out plain and simple and I am so grateful for that.

We have used Kingsbury since we moved to STL over 7 years ago. Dr. Shaw is one of the most amazing vets we have ever witnessed! He is fully dedicated to your animal(s) and treats them as if they alone are the only thing to exist. He has supported us and been through the darkest times with our pups. We cannot begin to express how truly wonderful and selfless of a man he and his staff is. They will take are of your animal as if it was one of their very own. You will always be grateful with everyone at KAH.

It probably costs more to take your fur baby here, but I think the doctors & staff here are fantastic and, I completely understand all the fees & the need to compensate staff well, so though my bills at the end of visits often sting a bit, receiving such great care & such a thorough visit where any & all questions & concerns are addressed is completely worth it to me. I really appreciate the incredible staff at Kingsbury & the high quality of care we receive here. Just a fantastic place to receive excellent care for your pet.

Amazing staff and service! My dog is very difficult at the vet and they have always worked with me to accommodate him, including on a tumor removal surgery. Even when he is hard to deal with, the staff are still smiling and happy to see us and care for him. Can't thank them enough for the great service they provide. Facilities are clean, billing is easy, appointments are easy. Highly recommend.

Updated to add. I would give them 10 stars. I just had to make end of life arrangements for my dog and then staff at KAH could not have been more caring. I came home to these flowers in my girls name. They handled everything and made a painful transition a little easier. You wont regret taking your fur baby here.
