Veterinarian Overview
Meridian Animal Care Center is proud to serve the Meridian area for all your pets health needs. Our veterinary hospital is run by Dr. Alison S. Moore, who is a licensed, experienced Meridian veterinarian and Terry Moore, her husband, who is the practice manager.Dr. Moore was raised in a veterinary family. Her father, A.Otis Seal, is a veterinarian in Meridian since 1973. As a child, she would hear her dad leave for the barn where the clinic was, and crossing the pastures barefoot and in pajamas, she would stand on a 5-gallon bucket across the table while he performed procedures and surgeries on animals. Dr. Moore knew this was her calling from a very early age. Throughout her teenage years, she worked on the farm training and showing horses, as well as, teaching riding lessons to children and adults.After graduating Meridian High School, she attended Mississippi State University for her undergraduate work and was accepted into the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine in 1996. After graduation, she joined Akin Equine Veterinary Services in June 2000. In January 2003 she and her family moved home to Meridian. She performed relief work for Central Mississippi Animal Clinic in Carthage as well as Seal-Laird Veterinary Hospital in Meridian. She joined the staff of Seal-Laird Veterinary Hospital full time in May 2005. In September 2010 Terry and Alison purchased the former vet clinic know as "Pet Services" and opened Meridian Animal Care Center, and quickly renovated it to increase the size of the hospital and boarding facility. They have recently added a new addition to the facility: Doggie Day Care!Terry and Alison have 4 children, a son Jax, and triplets Annalexa, Jordan and Colt. They are all active members of Calvary Baptist Church. Our team is committed to educating clients on keeping their pets healthy year round, with good nutrition and exercise. Meridian Animal Care Center stays on top of the latest advances in veterinarian technology and above all, remembers that all animals and pets need to be treated with loving care in every check-up, procedure, or surgery.
