about us
At Crossroads Veterinary Clinic, LLC, our story is one of coming home. After growing up in northwest Kansas and building a career in mixed animal practice, Dr. Schneider spent several years providing mobile large animal and relief veterinary services to rural communities across Kansas, South Dakota, and Montana.
Through that work—along with her experience serving as a veterinarian at a regional sale barn—she gained a deep understanding of the challenges producers and small towns face when consistent veterinary care isn’t readily available.
In 2025, Dr. Schneider purchased the longtime veterinary clinic in Phillipsburg, Kansas, with the goal of reestablishing a dependable, local veterinary presence.
After a period of transition and much-needed updates, Crossroads Veterinary Clinic was created to carry on that legacy while expanding services for both large and small animals.
Today, the clinic is built on hard work, practical medicine, and a commitment to supporting the people, animals, and agricultural way of life that define this community.
Dr. Schneider is excited to begin this next chapter and to build lasting relationships with clients while providing dependable, high-quality veterinary care. Whether working cattle in the field or caring for pets in the clinic, Crossroads Veterinary Clinic is proud to serve the community and looks forward to being a trusted partner in animal health for years to come.
Our mission is to deliver practical, high-quality veterinary care grounded in a deep understanding of rural life.
