About Duke Animal Clinic, L.L.C.
The Duke Animal Clinic has been established in the western suburbs of Mobile, Alabama for 39 years. Our goal is to provide consistent, high quality veterinary health care to the community. Currently, the staff consists of three full time veterinarians, two part-time veterinarians, a veterinary ophthalmologist and a veterinary dentist. The support personnel include three licensed veterinary technicians, and four skilled assistants. We participate with a local community college's program in veterinary technology and have at least one student each semester.
Our practice presents a variety of case work and is an excellent place to develop your practice skills with mentors that are motivated to help you learn. Not only does the ophthalmology, dentaistry and equine emphasis in our practice provide a unique experience, but our work with local rescue groups insure an interesting case load. Most recently, we have added oysters to our species list. A local hatchery, three oyster nurseries and some oyster farms have needed our help with health certificates, disease testing and certifications. Maybe bees will be next?
