Welcome to The Animal Hospital of Clinton 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. The old store was converted into a Small Animal Hospital to be used for medical services, general surgery, dental and boarding capabilities. In 2005, the building was renovated and additional boarding facilities were added. The office now has 3 full time veterinarians. The Animal Hospital of Clinton is now proud to also offer in-house diagnostics, laser surgery, and laser therapy along with the regular medical and surgical services.
