Individualized Medicine
The difference between good medicine and great medicine is in the details. We look deeper here. We take the time to understand the individual needs of your pet or herd. We examine every animal with fresh eyes. The way we do anything is the way we do everything… thoroughly, carefully, and with the highest standards of care. Because to us, you’re family. And we take care of our own.
To change a life. To protect a future. To save an animal. To us, veterinary medicine is more than a profession. It is who we are.
Higher Standards
We believe in a higher standard of veterinary medicine. Here, your pet will have access to cutting-edge technology. They will be cared for by a team who lives and breathes veterinary medicine as their life’s calling. And they will be treated the way we would care for our own pets. Here, we’ll never settle for anything less.

Making a difference
Dr. Shorter is fantastic, you can tell she loves what she does and cares about the animals that she treats! Love the staff, they will help you with anything!
These folks are so very kind and friendly. They never hesitate to come to the farm for emergencies or accommodate our schedule sometimes. They are reasonably priced and truly show they are experts in their field.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The DVM was very knowledgeable. They were the ONLY vet that I could get to answer my questions before the purchase of my animals. I highly recommend them for your pets.
Had to put my baby down and they were Very sweet professional and caring. Couldn’t ask for nicer people at such a hard time.
We’ve been with Dr Shorter and staff for several years. They truly love what they do and take such good care of our babies, even calling the day after appointments to make sure all is well. The best most loving group of folks around!
My horse Beau has received the best care from Chatham Animal Clinic for the past 16 years! Dr. Erwin & Dr. Barker were there for me when I had to make the toughest decision for him. I am so thankful for their wisdom as well as their compassion! Highly recommended!!
I don’t think any of the times I needed Chatham Animal Clinic was a time during their normal hours.. every emergency I have had has been on a Sunday or later on in the evening and they have always had the same reply…”meet at the clinic in 15-20 minutes”. I cannot say enough good things about the staff here and highly recommend them for any of your veterinary needs. I won’t be going anywhere else.
They are awesome and really care about your animals. Whenever I call and need something, there is always someone to talk to about an issue with my dog or help me. Every visit, Dr. Shorter is so professional and is honest with you about what to do with your pet. I can speak from experience, she really does care about what she does and not just about making money. Love this place!
