The Animal Health Center (AHC) is open to the public and serves as an extension of the primary care veterinarian, providing emergency and specialty referral care for companion animals, as well as emergency, primary and specialty referral care for horses and livestock in the region.
The AHC is the clinical service unit of the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine. It is where our veterinary students gain the bulk of their clinical experience, and it offers postgraduates opportunity for expanded study as they complete internships or residencies.
Advanced Care
Veterinary Specialty Center
The Veterinary Specialty Center (VSC) is a satellite facility of the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine located at the Premier Radiology Complex in west Starkville.
VSC provides expert veterinary care for your pet. Just as your family physician may refer you to a specialist when you need advanced or specialty care, your family veterinarian may suggest that your pet be seen by a specialist at VSC. Our Center offers advanced imaging such as MRI and CT scans, radiation therapy using a linear accelerator, and neurologic and ophthalmological care.

The AERC is an extension of the primary care veterinarian, working as a team to provide the most comprehensive and advanced care possible. AERC primarily treats canine and feline patients and does not provide routine or elective health care procedures such as vaccinations, spay/neuter services or general dentistry.
