Associate Veterinarian

At South 31 Veterinary Clinic, we don't just practice veterinary medicine-we live it, breathe it, and pour our hearts into it every single day. Since 1977, we've been a pillar in our community, earning our place as a trusted, neighborhood clinic with deep roots and a big heart. We thrive on teamwork, continuous learning, and a shared commitment to providing top-notch care. Here, no one is just a title-we believe in cross-training, skill-building, and creating well-rounded veterinary professionals who can confidently step into any role. While we may be a small clinic, we make a big impact by focusing on what truly matters: exceptional patient care and an outstanding client experience.

We offer a welcoming space with the convenience of our own parking lot and a spacious yard, making visits easy and stress-free for our clients. Starting with our comprehensive wellness services, we are ready to provide expert care and a top-notch experience for our clients, with services including vaccinations, puppy and kitten care, parasite prevention, and behavioral medicine. All our diagnostics are taken care of in-house with the use of radiology, a stocked pharmacy, and a laboratory.
