Our Philosophy
Sugar Mill Veterinary Center is a boutique veterinary practice specializing in feline medicine, holistic healthcare, and pet wellness in a state of the art and environmentally friendly facility. At SMVC we evaluate each patient from nose to tail and assess overall wellness and preventative veterinary care. Our services are open and available to the entire St. Croix community by appointment and we strive to build lasting and meaningful relationships with our clients and their four legged family members.
Our boarding facility, The Inn at Sugar Mill, is the only free standing pet hotel on the island of St. Croix and our canine guests enjoy ample green space including walking trails and Solja’s dog park.
The Sunshine Foundation, our 501c3 nonprofit organization, created the first program on island for feral cats. We continue to offer our TNVR (trap, neuter, vaccinate, and return) program to the community and to work with partner rescue groups on island including Real Cruzan Cats as well as Ruff Start Rescue on special events and cases.
Directions
Sugar Mill Veterinary Hospital is conveniently located off the Northside road in La Grande Princess, (on the same road with the Hibiscus and Palms hotels) before the turn into the road to Manor School. Just look for the Sugar Mill at the top of the hill!
