Animal Emergency & Referral
The Animal Hospital of Clinton will continue to be open to provide treatments for your pets. Doctors and staff will continue to keep hospital hours to provide treatment for your pets and surgeries. The health and safety of your pets and you, and our staff continues to be our primary goal. We appreciate your patience during this time and encourage you to call or email us with any questions or concerns.

The Animal Hospital of Clinton was established in June of 1994. Dr. Gill moved to Ripley, TN after graduation and practiced at a Mixed Animal Practice - Lauderdale County Veterinary Clinic for 6 years. He was raised in the Edwards area and wanted to return to Mississippi to raise his family. The location he chose for his practice was an old convenience store located at 497 Springridge Road.
Services
If you are planning a vacation, extended medical leave or even home remodeling, how about having your pet stay in our comfortable affordable boarding facility? Animal Hospital of Clinton has separate boarding areas for dogs and cats, ensuring a peaceful environment for both. Our kennel staff works directly with our doctors to keep your pet healthy during their stay.
The doctors at AHOC recommend that your pet be examined at least once a year to receive vaccine boosters and general health exams. If you have a young pet or a senior pet, then more frequent visits may be necessary. It is recommended that pets be sterilized around 5-6 months of age. It is important to remember that spaying/neutering is a surgical procedure, and animals need to be mature to recover properly.
One of the most overlooked aspects of animal health is dental health. The doctors and staff of Animal Hospital of Clinton are eager to treat pets and educate their owners on proper dental care. Improper care does not only affect your pet's breath, but also their overall health. Many heart, liver and kidney problems or diseases can be related to poor dental care.
In the south skin problems are very common. Fleas and Ticks are very prevalent in this area. Itching, licking, and scratching are the first signs we see. Hormonal issues may also show up as skin problems. If you happen to notice any of these issues, please have your pet examined by one of our doctors.
Heartworms are a parasite transmitted by mosquitoes. Heartworm disease is extremely common in the south. We recommend testing once a year to make sure your pet is free of this disease and staying on preventative medication year round. If your pet is not currently on heartworm prevention, they must have a blood test performed.

I’ve been taking my pets here for over 10 years. They used to be so nice and professional. The doctors are great but the other staff has gotten so rude over the last 2-3 months. I know that they are very busy but they shouldn’t mistreat the people that have been coming to them for years. I will not be using them anymore, they have gotten so mean and rude that I don’t feel that my pets are safe boarding or receiving care there.

This is my favorite vet I've had Dr.Gil who was great and a woman vet I can't remember her name but they were both very nice. Their prices are the best I wished I knew about them sooner. It's so sad that I'm moving outta state.

My family has been bringing their dogs here for years so I started bringing mine and at first we loved it, but in the last few months the staff has become rude and my dog doesn't even want to get out of the car there anymore when he used to LOVE it.

Excellent experience and the staff were very friendly and warm. I had an appointment & was seen right away with little wait time. The Vet was very knowledgeable and Beau, my dog, was very happy.

Dr. Gill and his staff are the most caring, loving, compassionate animal people I know. He has been caring for my fur babies about 20 years and he is the best. He loves what he does and he has a heart of gold.… His staff are just as amazing. If you want a veterinarian that truly cares about your pet/fur baby then you won’t go wrong with Picking Dr. Gill at Animal Hospital of Clinton. They are the BEST!! Connie F⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks for taking care of our sweet Rocky!
