Services
From reception to management, the team of professionals at Ashby Animal Clinic is dedicated to providing quality, expert pet care. Founded by Dr. James G. Simmons in October of 1974, Ashby Animal Clinic operates with experienced, trained veterinarians supported by a knowledgeable staff who are all working toward the continued goal of ensuring that your small companion pet receives the very best in veterinary care.
We are pleased to offer complete veterinary services for small, companion pets. Vaccinations stimulate your pet's immune system to produce disease-fighting antibodies. Because antibodies are specific for each disease-causing agent, a vaccination is needed against each of the major disease-causing agents to which your pet may be exposed.
It is our privilege to provide the loving care and professional attention your furry companions deserve. Our dedicated team of veterinary professionals want to provide you with peace of mind while helping your dog and cat live the happiest, healthiest life possible. We care about dogs and cats just as much as pet owners, because we're pet lovers, too.

We love this vet! We've been to several different vets in the area and have never been entirely satisfied, until we came to Ashby. Their vets take time to thoroughly explain what's going on and how they're treating it, and we've even gotten follow-up calls to check on how we/our pets are doing a few days later. Everyone has always been friendly and helpful.
I appreciate their online services, which make prescription refills and other requests super easy. I never feel like they're trying to gouge me for money, as we often end up just needing to have visit with the vet techs for things like shots, instead of seeing the actual vet for no real reason besides charging more money. Definitely the best veterinary service in the area, and I wish that I could get a doctor for myself around here that operated as great as these guys!

Last minute I needed to find a place that would see my kitten I just adopted and Ashby Clinic was very flexible and managed to find the time to fit my kitten into there busy schedule. I didn't have to wait to long, everyone was very friendly, my concerns were addressed, and it was a smooth easy process. I left feeling some relief and having some more knowledge of what my poo little kitten is going through and how I can help her feel better! Thank you all at the Ashby Clinic!

Dr. Smith is wonderful. So grateful he treats my girl with the big picture in mind. It is so reassuring to have a vet who clearly really cares about my pet vs just going through the motions. Thank you! Dr. May was incredibly kind and patient when we lost our last pet. Much appreciated. The office runs well too.

My rescue needed his first yearly checkup and vaccinations. We've recently moved so I needed a place that I felt comfortable with or my boy would pick up on my mood. I've had him a year (my July 4th present to myself).He's just 3 now and still a little nervous with new places. All the staff were wonderful, not just friendly but sensitive to Rory's needs.
We were given all the time we needed. Plenty of opportunity to ask questions and much advise given in return. We really appreciated this quality visit and expect to use Ashby Animal Clinic for many years to come.

I can't say enough good things about Ashby Animal Clinic, from the front staff, the technicians, Dr. May. all are so kind and helpful. I brought my Psyche there for a second opinion on some major health issues. Dr. May listened to me, taught me about what was going on, looked at how best to treat Psyche and we had a plan. For the first time, I understood what was really happening and went away feeling like I knew better how to care for my kitty, and that she would receive the kind of care she needs for a healthy happy life, no matter how long that would be. Dr. May is so kind and really cares; she made sure I understood what was happening and that I was okay with our plan of care. Thank goodness for Dr. May and Ashby Animal Clinic.

I'd like to commend the staff at Ashby Animal Clinic. They took the time, Saturday, to check Daisy out as soon as possible, everyone was very kind and considerate, and was quick to answer all of our questions, with detail. During a difficult time like that, it is very comforting knowing that our dog was in great, caring hands. We really appreciate that, and will continue to use them for our animals

Ashby Animal Clinic is highly recommended. We will be transferring our records there permanently. Freida had a minor emergency when she got a piece of plastic stuck in the back of her jaw. She was developing horrendous breath that would knock you down. We called this morning and were seen this morning. In addition they were able to do Freida's annual exam and shots thereby saving us an additional trip.
As a physician I know the time it takes to provide these extra services can wreck havoc with a schedule but we so appreciated their efforts and Freida is a happy Christmas elf.
