Jonesville Animal Hospital is a companion animal hospital located on Newberry Road in the heart of the Jonesville business center. Established December 2003 by two local veterinarians, Jonesville Animal Hospital is a fully equipped veterinary medical facility. The founders of Jonesville Animal Hospital, Dr. Jill Lerman and Dr. Kathy Vliet, have over 25 years of combined experience in the Alachua County veterinary community. Jonesville Animal Hospital is a full service veterinary medical hospital offering individualized preventive health care plans, a full range of medical diagnostics and therapeutics, routine and specialized surgical procedures, dental prophylaxis and oral surgery, behavioral and nutritional counseling, boarding, bathing, and drop off and house call services by appointment. We are one of the few veterinary hospitals with a PennHIP certified veterinarian on staff. We also provide a wide variety of pet health care products. We are actively involved with several local pet rescue groups, such as Gainesville Pet Rescue, Helping Hands Rescue and Southeast Pug Rescue & Adoption. All of these organizations work to help rescue and place pets. Our work with them is another way for us to help further the human-animal bond. Our staff is well trained and dedicated to customer service and helping clients with the many aspects of pet ownership. Feel free to ask our staff questions any time during your visit.

Did you know that even a little extra weight can increase the risk of serious health issues for your pet? Although weight problems are common in both dogs and cats, they can be easily and successfully managed. We can help you determine if your pet is overweight during a physical exam. The doctor can then work with you to formulate an effective weight loss plan for your pet.
