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.
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.
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.
At Southern Paws Animal Medical Center, our dedicated staff is here for you and ready to discuss your pet’s specific needs so you can be comfortable making decisions about your pet’s health.
Our mission is to enhance the health and well-being of every animal that walks through our doors, with unwavering dedication and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
We use the most modern equipment, tested and reliable veterinary products, and the most effective treatment for your pet. Call us today at 843-673-9233 or use our online booking tool to schedule your next appointment.
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.
Dr. Ryan Andrews is one of our Associate Veterinarians here at Southern Paws Animal Medical Center. He graduated veterinary school from Mississippi State University and has spent his career learning how to provide the best care for your pets. If you ask Dr. Ryan what his favorite parts of being a veterinarian are, he will tell you that he loves building relationships with clients and he loves spending time performing surgeries.
When you meet Dr. Ryan, he will always spend the time to make sure you know the best options possible for your pet’s care. He will also make sure to help you find alternative treatment options if needed in case the “ideal” plan may not be realistic for you.

Shortly after graduating, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Mary got married, did some traveling, and then finally settled down in the low country.

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