Metropolis Veterinary Clinic

"Your Hometown Veterinarian Taking Care Of Our Hometown Pets"

About Us

Dr. Deanna Baker is a 2011 graduate of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. She received her undergraduate degree from Mississippi Valley State University where she competed in Division I softball following playing for Reidland throughout high school.

Dr. Baker took ownership of Beagle’s Bay Animal Hospital (formerly known as Martell Animal Clinic) in January 2021, and now resides with her husband and twin sons in Metropolis. Dr. Baker is a native of Paducah, Ky., and her husband of Champaign, Ill., so having the opportunity to move to Metropolis feels like a homecoming to both.

Dr. Baker enjoys the personal aspects of veterinary medicine and getting to know her clients and their “furry family members” she gets to take care of. Being able to enjoy this while owning her own veterinary clinic is a lifelong dream come true.

Dr. Baker currently has three cats. She loves dogs, but recently lost her beloved rat terrier. She’s hoping to add another dog into the mix in the future.

Dr. Deanna Baker and her staff are dedicated to providing high quality veterinary services in the Metropolis area. It’s important to us that your pet will be treated with loving care as if they were our own pets. Your pet is a member of your family, and we respect and celebrate that fact. Everything we do confirms our commitment to giving your pet the best possible care.

On 12/4/2024 K Crawford had this to say:
I took champ and little bit in yesterday and I fell in love with not only dr baker but the assistant that was there also. I can honestly say that I'm more at ease knowing that my dogs will be taken care of you could tell how much they love animals there and I firmly believe that if a random person walked in with a dying dog or cat or animal period that dr baker would not hesitate to save that animal. So thank you so much for the heartfelt kindness you not only shown my dogs but me to.

Caring and friendly. Like that I could be in exam room whole time while Dr. gave shots and examined my dog

On 5/9/2024 Becca Joy had this to say:
Ive taken my babies to Doc Baker for around a year now. Very impressed with her. She treats patients like they are her own, her services are affordable & is always upfront about costs & treatment. Her vet tech is super friendly, helpful, and caring. Me and my 5 dogs love Doc & her tech. I'm so lucky and blessed to have found Doc, cause prior to her all I had was bad experiences with vets around here. When we moved here I tried multiple vets only to experience diagnoses of cancer and adrenal issues that werent accurate, rudeness, no vet available after hours for emergencies. Was even told to put down my physically challenged 8 week old pup cause "she will never run and play like normal dogs". That pup is now 2 years old & doing great! 🥰If you want an amazingly good vet that truly cares about your pets AND you, go see Doc Baker at Metropolis Veterinary Clinic!!🥰
