Overview

Bluff Park Animal Clinic is a family-owned, full-service veterinary practice that delivers quality medical, dental, and surgical services to companion animals. At our clinic, you'll find a warm, embracing family atmosphere where your pet will receive outstanding treatment delivered with genuine care and compassion

Since 1972, Bluff Park Animal Clinic has been helping sick animals get well, and promoting responsible pet ownership through preventative health care and client education. Established by Dr. James M. Erwin, the clinic continues today under the direction of Dr. Eric Skocelas who joined the practice in 2002, and purchased it from Dr. Erwin in 2017. The story of our clinic was featured in From the Ground Up: Birmingham's Business History, A Legacy of Giving (2023)

Mission — Our mission is to provide the highest quality veterinary care to our patients while serving our clients with compassion and professionalism. We believe in making a difference in the lives of the animals we treat as well as their owners. We recognize that the health and well being of pets and the happiness of their human family go hand in hand. If we can get to the root of a pet's problem and make them feel better, then in turn, that makes the owner feel better too and makes the world a happier place in which to live
