Wellness Visits

Regular wellness exams are an important part of keeping your pet healthy and happy. Our experienced veterinarians conduct thorough physical examinations with each wellness checkup to develop a health profile for your pet. This will help detect early signs of illnesses that may not be visible at home and address other health concerns before they get worse.

Microchipping

Even the most responsible pet owners can be separated from their pet. Save yourself days or weeks of worry by microchipping your pet. Our local veterinarian clinic has extensive experience providing this service as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Vaccinations

Pets are vulnerable to viruses and other germs they can catch from other animals or just from going outside. Many of these diseases can make pets very sick and some, such as rabies, can be deadly. Pet vaccines in Florence safely allow your pet to develop natural immunity to these illnesses.

Protect your furry friend from harmful parasites

Dogs are naturally curious explorers, venturing into the great outdoors and socializing with other pets. While curiosity is great, it also increases their risk of contracting harmful parasites like fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites like heartworm disease, round worms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms, just to name a few.

With dogs’ active lifestyles, relying on other treatments leaves gaps in their protection. To protect your pet’s well-being, ask your veterinarian about giving your pet a broad spectrum of coverage.

He graduated veterinary school from Mississippi State University and has spent his career learning how to provide the best care for your pets.

Dr. Ryan is a Mississippi native, and he met his wife (Dr. Mary Andrews) while in veterinary school at Mississippi State. Shortly after graduating, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Mary got married, did some traveling, and then finally settled down in the low country. They have three amazing kids together and they recently purchased a farm!

For hobbies, Dr. Ryan enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, and working on a veterinary telemedicine platform he created called ReliaVet.
