The annual North American Veterinary Conference was held January 14th through the 18th in Orlando. Doctors Michael Thomson and Stephanie Carraway, and Certified Veterinary Technicians Melanie Ashcroft, Cammie Carman, Regan Gray, Brandi Spinaio, and Tracey Stowell attended. Katy Shreve who is in school for Veterinary technology also attended. By attending seminars, lectures and labs, we keep updated in newest techniques and therapies, which we can pass on to our clients and our patients.

We would like to welcome our two newest members, Shai Mace and Tara Nelson, to our Animal Medical Clinic team. They are both additions to our kennel’s animal caretaker staff.

Tara Nelson was born in Atlanta Georgia, and raised between there and Sebastian Florida. Her goal in the future is to become a veterinarian. She loves animals and that’s why she is excited to be here at Animal Medical Clinic.

Shai Mace is dual enrolled at Palm Bay High and Brevard Community College, and works at AMC part-time. She loves working with the animals. She is 17 years old and was born and raised in Florida.

Now when you adopt an animal from the South Animal Care and Adoption Center, you will receive a certificate for a free physical exam at Animal Medical Clinic.

We are committed to offering the best medicine for you and your pet, and the physical examination is the first step in a lifelong program of healthy pet care. At this time we can also address any other issues with your new pet, and make sure that vaccinations are up to date, as well as make sure that your pet is on monthly heartworm, flea and intestinal parasite protection. Any vaccination, medication or diagnostic procedure that may be required is the owner’s responsibility.

To see available pets for adoption at South Animal Care and Adoption Center, please visit the South Animal Care and Adoption Center Website, or see them at 5100 West Eau Gallie Boulevard, in Melbourne.
