Services
Happy Paws Veterinary Hospital is dedicated to providing the highest level of veterinary medicine along with friendly, compassionate service. We believe in treating every patient as if they were our own pet, and giving them the same loving attention and care. We are a group of highly trained, experienced animal lovers who are devoted to giving our patients the best care possible.
By embracing new knowledge and cutting-edge technology, our mission at Happy Paws Veterinary Hospital, is to provide the most progressive medicine, while incorporating Holistic therapies, and always treating each patient as family, with dignity, compassion, and love, while providing emotional support to clients, the "pet parents"; to deliver our services with integrity, passion, thoroughness, consistency and professionalism; most importantly, to always see ourselves through the eyes of our voiceless patients who understand only that we are gentle and kind; to have as our first priority, relief and prevention of fear, pain, anxiety, stress, in a comfortable happy environment, and to strive to minimize our patients' time away from home.
Our veterinary exams are holistic, comprehensive, and thorough. The feedback we have received from clients over the years is appreciation for the time we take to provide recommendations specifically for each patient based on their individual needs and the needs of their family. For new patients, we get copies of all past medical records to review prior to the patient's first exam.
We offer wonderful comprehensive Puppy and Kitten Programs. These programs help new pet parents plan financially for the entire series of visits. Our youngster patients are seen every 3 weeks until 18 weeks of age. At initial visit, we review an extensive list of hazards, and we discuss at length how to set each puppy and kitten up for success: diet, training, exercise, attention, and realistic expectations.
At Happy Paws, we use only the safest vaccinations, offer vaccination titers when applicable, have conservative vaccination protocols, and tailor vaccination recommendations to each patient's individual needs. There are a variety of life threatening, but preventable diseases, which affect our unvaccinated pets and other animals.

If you want a veterinarian who will treat your pets like they would treat their own — well then, make an appointment with Dr. Laura Scott! Dr. Scott has been there for my fur baby family for over 15 years through thick and thin! She always goes above and beyond, whether it is performing a routine wellness check, dental cleaning, acupuncture or an emergency surgery. What I love most about her is she always patiently takes the time to explain in plain language her diagnosis and treatment plan. By far, she is the best vet in town!

Recently switched vets to Dr. Gill, and am so
happy I did. Dr. Gill takes time to explain things, and was thorough with my dogs. He also caught a misdiagnosis from my previous vet. The clinic is very clean and has the capability to do a lot of in house testing. I highly recommend Dr. Gill and his staff. My dog Winston and Sophie and go there.

I have used Doctor Wellman for years. She is fantastic with high drive dogs and has done a lot of animal rescue in the Deep South with pit bulls and large aggressive mix dogs. She knows how to work with the more difficult dogs while remaining compassionate. I had a large pit mix from Hurricane Katrina who was aggressive with humans, but he loved Doctor Wellman. She is also excellent with rare health cases and will research the most difficult cases. She helped keep our Golden Retriever stay alive and healthy for 18 months after he was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I have never met someone who will go

Our first interaction was nothing but amazing!! We came in having to let our 12 y/o puppy go due to cancer. It was something that came on fast and aggressive. Our care was managed through a different provider but we were compelled to find another facility to walk through the process together, and thankful we found Happy Paws! This could not have been a better decision!
I can only imagine the level of care and compassion Dr. Wellman has for her patients based on how much she gave my family and I during this very challenging time!
For someone who has never met us or my pup before and to give so
