Animal Health Care Center-Arcola

Arcola Animal Health Care Center is a full service small animal hospital located in central Illinois. To our veterinary team, it's much more than just having a dog or cat. Our mission statement says it all: "We will strive to treat every client like family and every pet like our own!" We are very excited to offer you a better, gentler approach to caring for your beloved pet. FEAR FREE PETS is a national trend that focuses on your pet's well being, as well as yours. We understand that visits to the vet clinic can be stressful and scary. We are dedicated to minimizing that anxiety and making your visit the best that we can. Our entire veterinary team is Fear Free certified (or taking courses currently toward certification)

The Animal Health Care Center was originally built by Dr. Lorna Lanman as a satellite clinic to her main hospital in Charleston, Illinois. It was only open for appointments 8 hours per week. Dr. Kim Livezey bought the clinic on September 1, 1994 and opened a full service veterinary hospital with two full time employees and one lunch time receptionist. The entire north half of the building was one big room mainly used for storage. This was immediately enclosed and is now the "hospital kennel ward". An x-ray machine was also purchased at this time. AHCC started offering limited boarding and grooming in addition to full veterinary services and surgery. The business grew and prospered and an addition was built in 2000, which included laundry/storage, boarding kennels, a kitchen, and bathroom facilities. Remodeling also resulted in a larger surgery suite! Currently, AHCC keeps three full time veterinarians very busy with a support staff of 10

Mission — We will strive to treat every client like family and every pet like our own!
