Which Village Veterinary Hospital does this guide cover?

Several unrelated veterinary practices in the United States use the name “Village Veterinary Hospital.” This page specifically covers the practice operating at 250 Bosque Farms Blvd in Bosque Farms, New Mexico and using villagevethospital.com.

If you are looking for a clinic with the same name in Tennessee, Massachusetts, Washington, California or another state, do not use the hours or doctor list on this page. Those are separate businesses.

Village Veterinary Hospital hours

These are the current routine office hours published by the Bosque Farms hospital.

Day Routine office hours Important timing note
Monday 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM Closed 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Tuesday 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM No midday closure currently listed
Wednesday 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM Closed 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Thursday 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM Half-day schedule
Friday 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM Closed 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Saturday 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM Saturday morning care
Sunday Routine office closed 24/7 doctor-on-call emergency service is separately advertised
Monday, Wednesday and Friday midday closure: the hospital currently states that it is closed from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM on those three days. Plan medication pickups, routine calls and non-emergency arrivals around that break.
Do not confuse office hours with emergency coverage. The practice advertises 24/7 emergency on-call availability, but it does not publish the routine front-office schedule as “open 24 hours.”

Village Veterinary Hospital veterinarians

The hospital’s current team page lists three veterinarians.

Veterinarian Role / background Clinical interests published by the hospital Personal schedule
Michael McCallister, DVM Founder of Village Veterinary Hospital; Kansas State University DVM, 1984. Mixed-animal veterinary practice; long-standing involvement with rural and agricultural communities. Exact day-by-day public doctor timetable is not published.
Brandon Herron, DVM Veterinarian and practice partner; Colorado State University graduate, 2011. Small and large animals, theriogenology, small-animal surgery and preventive medicine. Exact day-by-day public doctor timetable is not published.
Larisa Estrada, DVM Veterinarian; Animal Science degree from New Mexico State University and DVM from Washington State University. Current hospital biography identifies her as a veterinarian serving the Bosque Farms community. Exact day-by-day public doctor timetable is not published.
Doctor hours are not the same as hospital hours. The official site currently publishes the hospital’s operating schedule and names its veterinarians, but it does not publish a reliable Monday-to-Saturday shift calendar for Dr. McCallister, Dr. Herron or Dr. Estrada. Assigning them made-up days or times would be misleading.

How to see a specific veterinarian

Call (505) 869-2627. Tell reception which veterinarian you prefer.
Give your preferred day. Ask which appointment times that doctor has available.
Describe the type of animal. This matters because Village Veterinary Hospital is a mixed practice treating small and large animals.
Explain the reason for the visit. The appropriate doctor availability may differ for preventive care, surgery, equine work or an urgent case.
Useful call script: “I’d like an appointment with Dr. [name] for my [dog/cat/horse/other animal]. Which days is the doctor seeing this type of case, and what is the earliest available appointment?”

24/7 emergency veterinary care: what Village Veterinary Hospital actually says

The hospital advertises a veterinarian on call around the clock even though its routine office is not physically open around the clock.

Routine clinic Scheduled daytime hours

Routine appointments, preventive care and normal front-desk service follow the published office schedule.

Emergency coverage Doctor on call 24/7

The hospital states that emergency needs are supported by an on-call veterinarian.

What to do for an after-hours emergency

Call the hospital first: (505) 869-2627. This is the published main number and the safest starting point for current emergency instructions.
Explain what happened and what species is involved. Tell the team whether the emergency involves a dog, cat, horse or another large animal.
Follow the on-call veterinarian’s instructions. The normal reception area may not be operating even though emergency coverage is available.
Ask where the animal should be brought. This is particularly important for horses, livestock-size patients, trailers or animals requiring special unloading arrangements.

Is the emergency room physically open 24 hours?

The hospital’s official wording is that it is “ready for emergencies 24/7” and has a doctor on call 24/7. At the same time, it publishes regular office hours ending at 5:30 PM on most weekdays, noon on Thursday and Saturday, and no routine Sunday office hours.

For that reason, this guide treats the service as 24/7 on-call emergency veterinary coverage, not as permission to walk into an unlocked reception desk at any hour without calling.

If an animal is in immediate danger: contact the hospital promptly for emergency instructions. If the on-call team instructs you to use another emergency facility, follow that direction rather than delaying care.

Village Veterinary Hospital exam fees, emergency fees & treatment costs

The hospital currently does not publish a complete public price list for exams, emergency calls, surgery, vaccines, diagnostics or equine procedures.

Cost Current public information What to ask
Routine exam Standard dollar amount not publicly listed “What is today’s basic examination fee?”
New-client first exam Limited-time free first exam currently advertised Confirm eligibility and exclusions before the visit.
Emergency / after-hours No exact emergency-call fee publicly displayed Ask about after-hours exam/call-out fees before treatment when circumstances allow.
Vaccines Individual vaccine prices not publicly listed Ask for exam + vaccine total.
Dental care No standardized dental package price displayed Request a written estimate including anesthesia and diagnostics.
Surgery No single surgery fee Request procedure-specific estimate and included services.
X-ray / ultrasound Diagnostic prices not publicly displayed Confirm imaging fee, interpretation and related exam cost.
Large-animal/equine care Case-specific Confirm examination, travel/field-service and procedure fees if applicable.
Why there is no invented “average fee” here: an exam, after-hours emergency, horse call, dental procedure or surgical case can have very different staffing, diagnostics and treatment needs. The hospital does not currently post standardized dollar amounts for these services.

Best questions to ask before authorizing treatment

  • What is the examination fee?
  • Is there a separate emergency or after-hours fee?
  • What diagnostics are recommended?
  • How much will each test cost?
  • Does the estimate include medication?
  • Does a surgery estimate include anesthesia and monitoring?
  • Are follow-up visits included or separate?
  • For a large animal, is there a travel or field-service charge?
  • Can the clinic provide a written estimate before non-emergency treatment?

Free first exam for new clients

Village Veterinary Hospital is currently advertising a limited-time free first exam for new clients. Its website instructs new clients to book the first examination and mention the offer to the team at the appointment.

Terms apply. The clinic does not expose a detailed dollar breakdown of all possible services inside the offer banner. A free exam should therefore not automatically be interpreted as free vaccines, laboratory work, medication, imaging, surgery or other treatment. Confirm the current terms before authorizing additional services.
Call (505) 869-2627 to schedule. Tell the team that you are a new client.
Mention the free-first-exam promotion. Ask whether your animal and visit type qualify.
Ask what the promotion excludes. Confirm whether diagnostics, vaccines, medications and procedures are separate.
Request an estimate for additional care. This keeps the promotion separate from optional or medically recommended services.

How to make an appointment

Village Veterinary Hospital says it primarily sees patients by appointment, although it tries to accommodate walk-ins when possible.

Call (505) 869-2627. Appointment scheduling by phone is the clearest published route.
Tell the team what type of animal you have. This is a mixed-animal practice, so specify dog, cat, horse or other large animal.
Explain why you need the appointment. Wellness, vaccination, illness, injury, dentistry, surgery and large-animal cases can need different appointment blocks.
Request a veterinarian if you have a preference. Ask which dates Dr. McCallister, Dr. Herron or Dr. Estrada is available.
Confirm the fee. Ask for the current exam charge and expected additional costs.
Ask what records to bring. Previous medical records and vaccine history can help avoid unnecessary repetition.

Does Village Veterinary Hospital take walk-ins?

The hospital states that appointments are recommended so each patient can receive adequate time. It says it will do its best to accommodate walk-ins, but calling before arrival is recommended to reduce the wait and confirm capacity.

Diagnostics, X-rays, ultrasound & laboratory testing

Village Veterinary Hospital states that it uses diagnostic equipment and techniques for both medical investigation and treatment planning. Its published practice information has identified capabilities including:

  • In-house laboratory testing
  • Digital X-ray / radiography
  • Digital ultrasound
  • Diagnostic testing during illness or injury evaluation
  • Bloodwork when clinically appropriate
  • Baseline diagnostics during preventive or senior-pet assessment when recommended
Diagnostics are not necessarily included in a routine examination fee. Ask which tests are being recommended, why they are needed and the cost before proceeding when the case is not an immediate emergency.

Veterinary dental care

Dentistry is part of the hospital’s current service directory. A routine wellness visit can include a dental-health assessment, while a dental procedure may involve a separate appointment, diagnostics, anesthesia or other services depending on the case.

Before scheduling a dental procedure, ask:

  • Does the quoted price include pre-anesthetic testing?
  • Is anesthesia included?
  • Are dental X-rays included when needed?
  • Are extractions priced separately?
  • Are pain medications included?
  • What time should the animal be dropped off?
  • When will pickup normally occur?

Vaccinations for dogs and cats

Village Veterinary Hospital’s current vaccine information says vaccine selection is tailored to the animal’s age, health, lifestyle and local disease risk.

Dog vaccines discussed by the hospital

  • Rabies
  • Distemper
  • Parvovirus
  • Adenovirus
  • Leptospirosis
  • Bordetella when lifestyle indicates
  • Lyme when appropriate
  • Canine influenza when appropriate

Cat vaccines discussed by the hospital

  • Rabies
  • FVRCP
  • Feline leukemia vaccination when lifestyle/risk indicates

The hospital notes that puppy and kitten vaccination programs typically start during the early weeks of life and require a series of boosters. Adult booster intervals vary according to vaccine type and veterinary recommendation.

Vaccine prices are not currently published as a complete public price list. Ask for the exam + vaccine total, not just the injection price.

Large-animal and equine veterinary care

One feature that distinguishes this hospital from many small-animal-only clinics is its mixed-practice background.

Village Veterinary Hospital says it treats both large and small animals and specifically highlights equine expertise. Dr. Brandon Herron also identifies large-animal work and theriogenology among his professional interests, while founder Dr. Michael McCallister describes Village Veterinary Hospital as a true mixed practice.

For a horse or large-animal appointment, confirm:

  • Whether the case will be seen at the hospital or in the field
  • Which veterinarian is handling large-animal appointments that day
  • Trailer and unloading instructions
  • Whether a farm/house-call fee applies
  • Emergency after-hours instructions
  • Any records or reproductive history needed
  • Whether fasting or another preparation is required for a planned procedure
Call before transporting a horse or other large animal. The clinic’s address alone does not tell you where the team wants a trailer positioned or whether the particular service should occur off-site.

What happens during a routine wellness visit?

Village Veterinary Hospital describes a wellness visit as a preventive examination tailored to the animal. A typical visit can include:

  • Head-to-toe physical examination
  • Eyes and ears
  • Teeth and oral health
  • Skin and coat
  • Heart and lungs
  • Joints and mobility
  • Weight and body-condition review
  • Vaccination status
  • Parasite screening/prevention discussion
  • Nutrition and exercise discussion
  • Bloodwork or other diagnostics when clinically appropriate

The hospital’s current wellness guidance recommends at least annual examinations for adult pets and notes that senior animals may benefit from more frequent monitoring.

What to bring to your first Village Veterinary Hospital appointment

For dogs and cats

  • Previous veterinary records
  • Vaccination history
  • Medication and supplement list
  • Previous diagnostic results
  • List of current symptoms or concerns
  • Secure leash or carrier
  • Payment method

For horses / large animals

  • Previous veterinary history
  • Medication information
  • Vaccination records
  • Reproductive history if relevant
  • Current symptoms
  • Trailer/transport details
  • Call ahead for arrival instructions
If you are using the current new-client free-exam promotion, mention the offer when scheduling and again at check-in.

Medical records, vaccine records & prescriptions

The hospital does not currently advertise a public self-service patient portal comparable to the large national veterinary chains. For records, vaccine certificates, prescription questions or record transfers, use the hospital’s direct contact details.

Need vaccine records?
Call (505) 869-2627 and identify the animal and owner.
Sending records to another vet?
Ask Village Veterinary Hospital what authorization/contact information is needed for the transfer.
New client?
Ask your former veterinary practice to send the relevant medical and vaccine history before the appointment when possible.
Need medication?
Contact the clinic. The hospital states that it cannot safely or legally diagnose or prescribe solely over the phone without the required veterinary examination.
Prescription limitation: the practice specifically states that a diagnosis requires a thorough physical examination and that medication cannot simply be prescribed over the phone without first examining the animal.

Parking, vehicle access & arrival

The hospital’s official website currently gives the street address but does not publish a parking fee, parking-garage name or detailed vehicle-access instructions.

For an ordinary dog or cat appointment, use the Bosque Farms Blvd address below and call the clinic if you need accessibility assistance or arrival guidance. For horses or other large animals, confirm trailer/unloading instructions before driving to the property.

Arrival checklist

  • Save (505) 869-2627 before leaving home.
  • Confirm the appointment time.
  • Avoid the Monday/Wednesday/Friday 12:00–1:30 PM closure for routine matters.
  • Keep dogs securely restrained.
  • Transport cats in a secure carrier.
  • Call first for large-animal trailer instructions.
  • Call first for an after-hours emergency.
Because no official parking price is published, this article does not invent a “free parking” claim. Ask the clinic if parking, trailer access or an accessible drop-off arrangement is important for your visit.
