Exciting News for Liberty Park Pet Lovers!
Liberty Park, located in the picturesque city of Vestavia, is buzzing with anticipation as a brand-new pet hospital is set to open its doors! Parkside Pet Hospital is making its debut at the Marketplace at The Bray, promising to be a fantastic addition to the community.
A New Home for Furry Friends
A local buyer, connected with a veterinarian, has nabbed a vacant office building in the shopping center to transform it into a haven for pets and their owners. Parkside Pet Hospital aims to provide compassionate and expert veterinary care, ensuring that your beloved animals receive the best treatment available. From regular check-ups to grooming sessions, and even nutritional products, this new facility is positioning itself as the go-to destination for all pet-related needs.
What to Expect at Parkside Pet Hospital
Located right next to Planet Smoothie within The Bray shopping center, Parkside Pet Hospital is not just about medical services. The facility is committed to creating a warm and welcoming environment for both pets and their humans. With so many people in the area who care deeply about their pets, this new hospital fills an important service gap that has been felt by many in the Liberty Park community.
The Marketplace at The Bray
The Marketplace at The Bray is famous for featuring a Publix grocery store and other shopping venues, making it a popular hangout spot for local residents. As part of the sprawling $850 million master-planned community, it’s clear that having a pet hospital right at its heart will enhance the shopping experience. Whether you are picking up groceries or getting your furry friend checked out, convenience is key!
Complementing the Local Veterinary Scene
In addition to the exciting news about Parkside Pet Hospital, the Birmingham-metro area is also home to Riverview Animal Clinic. This independent clinic has been serving the community for over 40 years and is committed to remaining autonomous amid the growing trend of corporate-owned veterinary practices. Dr. Amy Tate, who has been with Riverview Animal Clinic since 1992, aims to maintain independent operations while considering part-ownership opportunities for the staff.
The Legacy of Riverview Animal Clinic
Originally known as the Motel for Pets, Riverview Animal Clinic has a legacy that dates back to 1956. Over the decades, it has evolved and expanded alongside the community’s urban growth. Dr. Tate became a partner in the clinic in 2006 after earning her veterinary degree from Auburn University. The clinic is known for fostering trust and consistency in the care provided to pets, building lasting relationships with clients.
Maintaining its accreditation with the American Animal Hospital Association, Riverview Animal Clinic is also dedicated to leveraging new technologies to enhance treatment. The clinic is conveniently located at 4640 U.S. 280 S. and operates during weekdays as well as Saturdays, ensuring that local pet owners have ample opportunities to seek care.
Improving Animal Welfare in the Community
The excitement doesn’t stop there! Over in Tuscaloosa, the county commission has made strides in improving animal welfare too, purchasing the former Averette Veterinary Hospital for just $250,000—a price below its appraised value. This new facility will be leased to the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter and is fully equipped with necessary veterinary and medical equipment, including kennels and x-ray machines. With this upgrade, the shelter will enhance its capabilities in treating sick animals, leading to a healthier and happier community overall.
As Liberty Park welcomes Parkside Pet Hospital and Riverview Animal Clinic continues its commitment to high-quality care, pet owners can feel reassured knowing their furry friends are in great hands. With so many developments happening in pet care, the future looks bright for our four-legged companions in the area. How pawsitively exciting!
