📣We can't hide the secret any longer:

Starting Wednesday, 6/3/26, Athens Veterinary Clinic will be open at a new facility at 499 Richland Avenue in Athens.

While it's bittersweet to leave the facility started by Dr. Bratton and Dr. Phillips in 1952, we'll be just down the street in a larger and more modern facility in order to better serve clients of Athens and surrounding communities.

Please be patient as our staff adjusts to our new facility. We look forward to caring for your animals going forward!

SCAM ALERT: We've been made aware of a business with targeted advertising selling t-shirts with our logo on them. We do not sell merchandise to the public. Please be aware that we have no affiliation with this company and we cannot guarantee the quality of the products or if they are a legitimate business.

The business that we've seen selling them is called Animal Hospital Alumni Association, which when reading through their page, is clearly fictitious. Orders are being filled through a company using the page called GearLaunch

We continue seeing an "up-tick" trend this month: increased diagnosis rates of tick borne diseases. We actually ran out of antibiotics in our hospital today and had to script out to other pharmacies -and it's only Wednesday.

As a reminder, dogs typically take 2-5 months to show symptoms of Lyme disease after being bitten by a tick. That means the cases we're seeing today were likely infected during winter months (December-February) when owners assume ticks aren't active. Please don't believe the old wive's tale- ticks are active year-round in our climate! Ticks merely hibernate in any weather colder than 35⁰F and will start seeking a host anytime temperatures raise during our mild winters.

If you'd like to discuss appropriate prevention options or a Lyme vaccine for your animals, give us a call at (740)447-9100

We would like to give a special shout out to Texas Roadhouse, Athens for dropping off some rolls and their famous butter for our staff. It definitely makes our day to have the support of other area businesses. Thank you!

It's that time of year. Did you know that horses are required to have a negative Coggins test yearly in order to travel off of your property? We're happy to discuss routine vaccines, testing, and travel documents for whatever summer adventures you may be planning. Extra points if you can name the disease that a Coggins test screens for 🤔
