Veterinary Services in Jacksonville, FL
Vet Care, Grooming, and Boarding Under One Roof
Serving Jacksonville pet families since 1988. Complete Care Wellness Plans starting at $59 a month. Care Credit accepted. Military discounts available.
One Team. One Building. Every Service Your Pet Needs.
Most veterinary practices handle the medical side, and that's it. If your dog needs a groom, you go somewhere else. If you're traveling and need boarding, you're on a phone call with a stranger. Three different providers. Three different sets of staff. Three different files on your pet.
That's not how SJB Animal Care Center is built.
Every service we offer, medical, grooming, and boarding, happens under one roof, staffed by the same licensed medical team. Your dog can be examined and groomed on the same visit. Your cat's medical history sits in the same file as her boarding notes. If something looks off during a bath, the doctor is already down the hall.
The result is coordinated care that a scattered model can't match. It's also less running around for you.

Why Jacksonville Families Trust SJB Across Every Service
The differentiators that shape how this practice works apply consistently, whether your pet is in for an exam, a groom, or a two-week boarding stay.
- Same team, whichever service you're using. The person walking your dog for boarding is on the same staff as the vet tech assisting your annual exam.
- Same medical oversight for every service. The doctor is always available. The nearest medically trained person is never more than a room away, whether your pet is in for surgery, a bath, or overnight care.
- Same records. Your pet's medical file follows them across grooming and boarding notes, so nothing gets lost between service types.
- Same relationship. The front desk knows your dog by name, and it doesn't matter if the call is about a spay recovery or a Fourth of July boarding week.
- Same corner of St. Johns Bluff Road since 1988.
That's the "one team, one address" model in practice. Not marketing language. Just how it actually works.
Proudly Local to Jacksonville's Southside
We've been part of the St. Johns Bluff Road corridor for nearly four decades. Southside families have brought their pets to this practice across generations. Newer clients often find us after moving from Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville Beach, or one of the surrounding communities and looking for a locally owned practice that hasn't been absorbed into a corporate network.
Northeast Florida pet ownership comes with its own realities. Year-round mosquito activity elevates heartworm risk. Coastal humidity feeds skin and ear conditions. Beach and pool access means more parasite exposure than families in drier climates deal with. Our services and preventative care protocols are built with all of that in mind.
