Our mission at Montgomery Animal Hospital is to train and inspire the next generation of veterinary professionals.

You will shadow our experienced doctors and have the chance for hands-on patient treatment and the chance to lead client communication. The majority of our patients are dogs and cats, so you can seek out or avoid the birds, reptiles, and small mammals depending on your preference.
Our clientele is relatively affluent, which allows us to run most of the diagnostics we need to provide care for their pets. We also take a practical approach to our patient care, so our clients know that they can trust our recommendations for further workup to be completely necessary.
