At South Ocala Animal Clinic, caring for pets is our passion
Here, we treat pets like family. We understand how important your companion is to you — because they’re there for you through the thick and thin of life, with a wagging tail or a happy purr, and unconditional love. Our goal is to be your partner in taking care of your pet’s physical and mental wellbeing, so you can enjoy many happy years together.
So, whether your pet needs a checkup with a doctor… a caring team and top-notch medical treatments when they’re ill… or, some advice on the best food for them or how to care for them at home — we’re here for you! Come in and get to know us, and see why both you and your pet will love coming here!

Happy Pet Parents
They are the best...my dog loves them all.
They have the best vet ever. They take their time with your animals and show you how much they care.
This staff is absolutely fabulous! They are so caring to the needs of not only your pets but your needs as well!
Absolutely wonderful!! They are so accommodating. The doctor is just amazing. The techs are super sweet and very loving to our pets. We recently had to put our dog down and the way they handled the situation was just so endearing. I highly recommend this clinic.
