While this clinic is not open to the public, it is a great benefit to Servicemembers and their families. The prices are low in comparison to other clinics off the installation (Fort Jackson). I never had a dog until my current furry child. All the personnel at the clinic were very helpful with information and so understanding! I got my girl spayed there for half the price I was quoted at another clinic. Additionally, CPT Cole even gave me a courtesy call to let me know how the surgery went before I picked up my girl!!! I'm super happy with this place. The only thing I wish I could change is their available appointments. Understandably, they usually book up quick because priority goes to the Army mission, to include the working dogs and non-animal vet services.

This is how long I've been on hold just to try to make an appointment. This is the norm not the exception.

The staff was fantastic. The place was as clean as can be but the equipment is a disaster of rust and bad condition. The rain gutters on the outside had so much debris’s they are’s not functional. For a Army post I didn’t expect it to be high end but this was just too much. And the employees deserve a better environment as well. Since it is on an Army post I’m not sure who own the building but there’s no excuse not to clean the gutters and maintenance the outside much better. Again the staff was great prices were great. Also my GPS Lead me to a wooded area and said turn left in 300 ft there was no turn left or right I kept going and it said I had arrived but I was thick in a wooded area. So I turn around headed back and it showed me getting farther away so I turned again and had to follow my car on the map not the printed directions they were not the same at all. I never knew fort jackson had a wooded area that was big enough to get lost in lol.

Professional staff, super helpful over the phone and in person. Prices are decent and everything is well kept up! It's always refreshing to see staff handling pets as passionate as the owners.

Good luck getting them to pick up the phone. I called seven times over 2 days and continued to get the same message and never received a call back. They are cheaper than other vets, but booked out for weeks and never answer.
