About us

The Hometown difference

A neighborhood clinic that treats your pets like family, led by a veterinarian who served presidential pets.

Hometown Veterinary Clinic

Our goal is simple: to treat our clients as we would treat our families, and to treat their pets as though they were our own. Our clients and patients are the heart of our practice and the reason we are here.

The clinic is led by Dr. Melanie Smith, an Auburn veterinary graduate who spent six years in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, where she cared for several presidential pets and the caisson horses at Fort Myer. She practices alongside Dr. Amy Carlson and Dr. Amanda Pierce, with a team that has been with the clinic for years.

Under one roof you'll find a full-service medical clinic with an in-house lab, pharmacy and digital imaging, plus Hometown Bed & Biscuits for vet-supervised boarding, grooming and training, a true home away from home.

“Dr. Smith has been our veterinarian for over 19 years and seven boxers. She and her team are caring and compassionate.”Terry P. · Demandforce review
