Whittington Veterinary Clinic

Whittington Veterinary Clinic is a full-service animal hospital at 1101 W Port St in Abbeville, Louisiana, that also offers dog and cat boarding. For owners comparing dog boarding in Abbeville, the main draw is that boarded pets stay at a working veterinary practice with a vet on site.

What does the clinic offer besides boarding?

Boarding is one part of a much larger practice. The clinic describes its approach as compassionate care for companions great and small, and its service list covers a lot of ground.

• Dog and cat boarding
• Full-service veterinary care with in-house diagnostics
• Surgical procedures and microchipping
• Emergency care during office hours
• Bathing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and medicated baths

Why board a dog at a vet clinic?

The biggest difference from a standalone kennel is quick access to medical help. A vet is on site, and the clinic runs diagnostics in-house. That can matter for older dogs, dogs on medication, or owners who simply want a doctor nearby while they travel.

Grooming is available too. A dog can get a bath, nail trim, or ear cleaning at the same place it boards. The practice also treats large animals and makes farm calls, which shows how wide its range is. Its website leans on a friendly, small-town tone rather than a hard sell.
