Services
Vaccinations
Our vaccination program protects pets against common infectious diseases through tailored schedules. We offer core vaccines like rabies and distemper, plus lifestyle-specific options for at-risk animals. Our veterinarians recommend annual boosters to maintain immunity and comply with local regulations.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and complex surgeries including spaying/neutering, orthopedic repairs, and soft tissue operations. Laser surgery options reduce recovery times and post-operative discomfort. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safe procedures for patients of all ages.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services prevent and treat periodontal disease through cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery. We use modern equipment for thorough scaling and polishing, while dental diets and treats help maintain oral health between visits.
Boarding Services
Our clean, supervised boarding facility provides safe overnight stays with individualized attention. Pets receive regular feeding, exercise, and monitoring by trained staff. Proof of vaccinations is required to ensure all residents' health and safety.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams detect early signs of disease through physical assessments and diagnostic screening. These evaluations include weight management guidance, parasite prevention, and age-specific health monitoring to maintain optimal pet wellness.

This is the only Clinic that I could get my Furbaby in fast for a check up and get her up to date on her shots. Dr. LOTTS treats her well.

I scheduled an appointment, waited a whole two months, only to be told they didn't see me scheduled in their system on the day I brought my cat. They offered an insincere apology and did not offer any rebate for the service when needed to reschedule couple weeks out.

I have had several horrible experiences with Animal Medical Center and have unfortunately been forced to take the matter public since I sent in a complaint via e-mail, and no response was returned (not even an apology). If you are a college student or young in general, make sure you know exactly what you are paying for before you swipe your card at AMC. It is your right to know exactly what you are charged for. Receipts there do not have exactly what you are charged for on them and if you aren't careful they will charge you for something you don't owe without hesitation.
Be prepared for the snarky remarks that come from a lot of the employees. If your pet is staying overnight for a surgery, they will smell like pee coming home or have a lot of dried blood on the surgical site (even if you pick them up really early on). They have a hard time checking animals before handing them to their owner. Ive given this place several opportunities to show how excellent everyone says they are, but its all a facade. I promise. Take your loved animals somewhere else and save yourself the money and hassle. I know i did and all of my school mates and community friends are too.

We've had great experiences bringing our puppy here for vet services, but I'm disappointed with the grooming services. We brought our puppy in for his first grooming, and no one other bothered to call us when he was done. Who knows how many hours he sat alone in the crate there. When my wife asked how he did with the grooming, no one could even answer, because his groomer had already gone home for the day. A very disappointing experience, and we'll be looking elsewhere for future grooming visits.

I have taken my dog to this vet since I got her 3 years ago. I had no complaints until yesterday. I boarded my dog with them for the weekend like I had done many times before. When I went to pick her up I noticed she was bleeding from somewhere near her whiskers. I brought it up to the boy they had working who had no clue what he was doing he couldn't even figure out how to charge my account for the boarding.
He looked at her and said well she's a dog. I made him call the vet who also acted like this was no big deal. I left my dog in perfect health and when I returned she was not in the same condition as when I left her. The vet was more worried about getting back to some friends that had come in from out of town than the fact that my dog was able to hurt herself either in the kennel or the run outside.
They did not seem to understand that there should not be a place for her to cut her face in the kennel or run. I will never take my dog back here. Completely unprofessional and uncaring about the fact that my dog cut her face in their care and still thought that I was going to pay them for the boarding.
