Exams and Consultations
Regular exams and check-ups are a critical component of your pet’s health care. We advise all pet owners to bring their animals in for routine examinations.
Seeing your pets for regular check-ups allows our veterinarians to establish a baseline in your pet’s body chemistry so that we can be aware of any potentially harmful changes.
If you would like to schedule an exam for your pet, please call us today at 256-262-9111.
Nutritional Counseling
Village Veterinary Clinic offers nutritional counseling for pet owners of Athens, Alabama and surrounding communities. If you have any questions about your pet’s diet or would like more information about your pet’s nutritional needs, please contact us today. We can set up a nutrition plan for your pet.
Obesity is a common problem among pets, as it can be easy to over-feed a pet that knows how to beg. But being overweight is a serious problem for animals and can cause real health problems as they get older. With proper diet and exercise, all pets should be able to meet their dietary needs and be within a healthy weight range.
A pet’s nutritional needs change as they enter different stages of their lives. The best way to make sure your pet’s needs are being met is to consult with us about a diet made specifically for them and their lifestyle. Please contact us if you have any questions; we would love to speak with you.
Surgery
We are proud to provide Athens, Alabama and surrounding communities with state-of-the-art veterinary surgical procedures. We believe in utilizing the highest level of medical technology, and our surgeons are experienced and highly trained.
We also realize that it can be stressful to have your pet undergo surgery. We want to assure you that your pet is in good hands and that we will do everything to provide the best care possible.
We will communicate with you about the things you need to know before, during, and after your pet’s surgery. It is our goal to make the entire process go smoothly and to eliminate the stress and worry of surgical procedures. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us today.
Vaccinations
At Village Veterinary Clinic in Athens, Alabama, we believe that one of the most important aspects of caring for your pet’s health is vaccinating them against potential diseases. There are a variety of diseases that affect our pets and animals. This makes proper vaccination vital in protecting them from the many types of illnesses they are susceptible to.
It’s important to consult with us about the unique risks of living in our region. We will be happy to discuss the benefits of protecting your pet with vaccinations, as well as provide you with information on the required vaccinations for your pet.
It is our goal to provide the highest level of care for your pet, and vaccination is an integral part of your pet’s overall health. Please contact us today if you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s vaccination.
Microchipping
It’s a terrible feeling to know that your pet is lost and on their own, but it’s an avoidable one. Microchipping pets is the best way to ensure their safe return in the unfortunate event that they become lost.
We know your pets are members of your family, and we want to make sure you stay together. We highly advise all pet owners to microchip their pets.
To learn more about how microchipping works, please contact us today.
Preventive Medicine
Preventive medicine is important when our pets are young, but as our pets age and become prone to certain disease processes, annual exams and blood work become even more important.
Annual exams and simple blood work to check liver and kidney values along with thyroid function have the potential to alert us to early changes that may give us important information about your pet’s health. We understand the changes your pet will have as they become older, and we also know the importance of keeping your pet healthy as they enter their golden years.
Diagnostics
We have state-of-the-art diagnostic tools that allow our staff to better diagnose your pet’s condition or illness. It is our commitment to stay on the cutting edge of diagnostic technology.
Having these advanced diagnostic tools allows us to examine specific areas more closely and provide a quicker and more accurate diagnosis.
We use many tools such as radiology, lab tests, and various other equipment and tests. To learn more about how we can help your pet with our diagnostic tools, contact us today at 256-262-9111.

We carry popular items like flea and tick preventatives, as well as heartworm preventatives and other medications. If you have any questions or want to learn more about our pharmacy, please contact us today.
Dental Care
Dental care is vital to the overall health of any animal. Dental disease leads to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. In fact, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population in Athens, AL.
In spite of these disturbing facts, many pet owners are not aware of the importance of dental care to their pet’s health. There are a lot of different ways to improve your pet’s dental hygiene, including home brushing, dental chews, and regular inspection.
The most effective way to protect your pet from dental disease is through professional cleanings. We perform thorough cleanings, including the area beneath the gums that you can’t see or access at home.
If your pet has brown/yellow teeth, bad breath, or is having difficulty eating, these could all be signs of dental disease. Please call us today to learn more and schedule your pet’s dental cleaning.
Walk-ins
There are times when you may not be able to schedule an appointment, and we understand that. In those cases, we welcome you and your pet to visit us on a walk-in basis.
Appointments are always preferred and will take precedence over walk-ins, but we realize the importance of having this option with people’s busy schedules.
