About our veterinary hospital
Your team at the Southport Animal Hospital are here to help with all of your furry companion's medical needs. We offer a range of routine and preventive veterinary care, including physical exams, vaccinations, and parasite control. We also provide diagnostic and treatment services for common ailments and illnesses such as ear infections, skin conditions, and gastrointestinal problems. In addition, we perform routine procedures such as spaying and neutering and dental cleanings.
We strive to be compassionate and knowledgeable, providing personalized attention to each patient. Our goal is to create as comfortable and stress-free environment as possible for both pets and their people during visits.
The people behind the care
Six veterinarians, two registered veterinary technicians, and a full support team, led by owner veterinarians Dr. Kristine Duerr and Dr. Erin MacDonald. Every one of us has a furry family member of our own.
