In addition to providing general and emergency care services, we are dedicated to offering multimodal pain management, including acupuncture and therapeutic laser.

Dr. Benoit purchased SouthCare Animal Clinic in February of 1998. In 2007, he built a new modern facility and changed the clinic’s name to SouthCare Animal Medical Center. The new facility opened in September 2007. In the fall of 2015, SouthCare remodeled and expanded, in part, to create a more cat-friendly environment designed to make our feline patients’ visits more comfortable. At the end of 2021, Dr. Benoit retired and passed the torch onto Dr. Suzanne Coulson. After 23 years with SouthCare Dr. Coulson moved back to the East coast and selected Dr. Bonnie Southwick as the Medical Director. Dr. Southwick has been with SouthCare since 2019 and continues to grow our services offered to pets of the greater Spokane area while supporting our team and our mission
