Sawmill Animal Hospital is the oldest veterinary hospital in Jones County, Mississippi! Their sister hospital, North Jones Animal Hospital is located four miles down the road. Both locations are open to clients Monday through Friday. Sawmill Animal Hospital operates on a walk-in basis with five full-time veterinarians. Whereas North Jones Animal Hospital runs on appointments operating with two veterinarians. Many staff members are tenured employees. Both practices see canine and feline patients and offer their patients the same exceptional services which include boarding, dental care, digital radiology, grooming, in-clinic diagnostic testing, hospitalization/intensive care, microchipping, nutritional counseling, pain management, pharmacy, preventative care, surgery, therapeutic laser treatments, ultrasound, vaccinations, and more.
