• Regular clients: Please arrive 15 minutes early.

Arriving early helps us provide timely and thorough care for your animal.

Yes. Please continue your pet’s regular food, water, and medication schedule unless otherwise instructed.

Your animal will be examined by a faculty veterinarian and a senior veterinary student. As a teaching hospital, students participate in all aspects of care under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian.

To schedule an appointment: Call 334-727-8436

Referrals from local veterinarians are welcome but not required. Providing medical records and recent test results helps us better understand your animal’s condition.

If hospitalization is recommended, your animal may be admitted immediately following the appointment. We will inform you in advance whenever possible.

During hospitalization:

• A senior veterinary student will provide daily updates on your pet’s condition and invoice status
• You are welcome to visit your pet by arranging a time with the student or the reception team
