Our History
Animal Health Clinic of Baton Rouge specializes in compassionate veterinary care in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Animal Health Clinic opened its doors in 1972, originally located in the Southdowns area of Baton Rouge. The shot-gun style building was split: the front was the veterinary clinic and the back was Dr. Hackett’s home. The hospital was maintained in its original location for 4 years. In 1975, the building was demolished and a 2,400 sq/ft building was constructed as a veterinary hospital. Animal Health Clinic then moved to its current location on Perkins road in 1983, a building Dr. Hackett had constructed, where we have been proudly serving our clients for 46 years!
