 This is my 14th year at AMC! I can honestly say I consider the team of AMC as family.

7. If money were not a factor, where would you choose to spend the rest of your life?

 I am rather content with where I am at this time, but if given the opportunity, I would tell the captain of my very LARGE BOAT to set sail with no real itinerary.

August is Canine Behavior month!!

 

 

     Does your dog need big change, or are they already an amazing friend that you'd like to bond with even more? Does your dog need to learn basic commands? Do you need advice on managing problem behaviors ? Training can make life with your pet more enjoyable for both you and your dog.

   Many dogs that are surrendered to animal shelters have either never been trained, or training has been attempted but has failed. Often these dogs are perceived by the owner to have a behavior problem that they do not know how to solve and can no longer tolerate.

  During the month of August, we are focusing on canine behavior and we will be hosting two FREE events featuring our recommended training teams.

  Got attitude ? Dog with bad behavior? Call us today to sign up for a free consult with Michelle from Bark Busters! Michelle will be holding 30 minute complimentary assessments with our clients on August 27th from 2-6 pm. Limited appointments are available, so call us today to schedule yours!! 

  Does your companion need some help with basic training or commands? Donna Murray, with Lowcountry Dog Training will be here August 19th from 1-5 pm to meet clients and give out basic information on training and classes. Please call us to schedule a time to meet her. There are limited times available!  

   Every client who takes advantage of one of these meet the trainer events will be entered into a drawing for a Canine goodie bag!!

Welcome Dr. Raymond L. Fay III

Throughout the years, many veterinarians have come through AMC before moving on to build or purchase their own facilities. The hospital has proven to be a great place for vets to build their careers before following their dream of practice ownership or specialty medicine. Each veterinarian brought something different to our practice, allowing us to provide a wide array of services outside the normal small animal practice including exotic medicine, behavioral training, nutritional counseling, and surgical care.  

This year we are starting a new chapter to Animal Medical Clinic’s long history. We are very excited to welcome Dr. Raymond Fay III to our practice. Dr. Fay will be joining the AMC team as of July 15^th.

 

  Dr. Fay brings with him a special interests in exotics; partly  gleaned from years as a consulting veterinarian at Greenville Zoo. He has experience in advanced dentistry, surgery, and masters level behavioral research.

  He completed his Bachelors of Science (Biology) in 1978 from Winthrop College and graduated from University Of Georgia in Veterinary Medicine in 1987.

  Dr. Fay attributes his passion for the animal healthcare industry to memorable years spent on his

 grandfather’s farm in Alabama.  Dr. Fay’s past-times

 include cycling, collecting wine, sailing, photography,

 and spending time with his canine sidekick Bandit, a

 lovable husky mix, and his two felines: L.J. and

Fum’e.

Christmas in July Rescue Drive

Join us in celebrating Christmas in July!!!! We have chosen to to aid several local rescue groups by showering them with gifts we collect throughout the month. 

  Summertime is full of picnics and pool parties, but for rescue groups, summer is filled with puppies and kittens, dogs and cats. Their needs are largest during this time of year. We want to help fill as many of their needs as we possibly can.  We have a list of the items on their wish lists on the Christmas tree in our lobby. Each item is listed on an ornament on the tree.

 Take an ornament from the tree and return the ornament and item to donate to the rescue group. All donations will be distributed at the end of the month. Each ornament also has a special treat for your pet as well!! 
  Everyone who returns an ornament and an item to donate will also be entered into a drawing to receive a gift basket for their pet. 

Thank you for helping bring a little cheer to our rescue groups!!!!!
