Our mission is to ensure that every pet receives the best possible care, from routine check-ups to complex surgeries, all in a clean, comfortable, and stress-free environment.
Our team is led by Dr. Ben Lifsey, Jr., a skilled veterinarian who is a native of Jackson and continues the family legacy of quality pet care.

We offer a wide range of services designed to keep your pets healthy and happy. Our comprehensive services include preventative care, such as wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite control. We also provide diagnostic services like in-house laboratory tests, digital x-rays, and ultrasounds to quickly and accurately diagnose health conditions. Additionally, our surgical services include routine and general surgeries like spaying and neutering, tumor removal, and fracture repair.
We understand that pets can feel nervous or fearful in new environments, which is why we strive to maintain a calm and peaceful atmosphere in our animal hospital. Our separate waiting areas for dogs and cats help reduce stress for both pets and their owners. We are committed to providing affordable healthcare options and will discuss our fees with you to ensure that you can meet your budget.
Whether your pet needs a routine exam, vaccinations, or surgery, our team is here to help. We believe that regular wellness exams are crucial for early detection of diseases and dental problems, ensuring your pet stays healthy. Our services also include ID microchip implants, inpatient and outpatient therapy, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, and grooming and boarding services.
In addition to our regular services, we offer emergency and after-hours care for those unexpected situations. Our urgent care services are available when conditions are not life-threatening but require immediate attention. We are committed to being there for you and your pet whenever you need us.
