Lexington, Suffolk and West Columbia Veterinarians Dedicated to Compassionate Dog and Cat Care

At Cherokee Trail Veterinary Hospital, our goal is to provide each of our patients with the best dog and cat care possible. Our team displays an unrivaled dedication to continuing education and technological advances in veterinary medicine. Most importantly, we strive to administer compassionate care to all pets entrusted to us. It does not matter whether care is for routine health exams, vaccinations, animal surgery, or spay and neuter services. While we respect all animals, our animal hospital service is focused on the veterinary needs of dogs and cats.

About Our Animal Vet Clinic, Our Staff, and Our Services

We are a full service animal vet clinic serving pets in the Lexington, Suffolk and West Columbia areas. We offer comprehensive dog and cat care, including vaccinations, animal surgery, dental care, spay and neuter services, radiology, and ultrasounds.

We are also proud to be one of the few veterinary hospitals in the area to be certified by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). The AAHA is the only organization that accredits animal hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada, making the certification quite prestigious. All AAHA-accredited hospitals voluntarily choose to be evaluated on over 800 standards including quality of care, diagnostic and pharmacy, management, medical records and facility. We are very proud of the commendation, and strive to continually meet the criteria needed in order to remain in good standing with the AAHA.

Cherokee Trail Veterinary Hospital is an open clinic, allowing all pet owners to take a tour or visit their pets at any time. We have six veterinarians on our staff: Dr. Ginger Macaulay, Dr. Heyward Boyette, Dr. Crystal Knight, Dr. Mary Keisler, Dr. Kennerly Bast, and Dr. Cara McKinnon. In the Meet Our Team section, we invite you to get to know the rest of our committed veterinary staff. We also have doctors available at our sister hospital, Lake Murray Animal Hospital, to serve patients in Gilbert, Leesville, Batesburg, Lexington, and West Columbia. Both of our veterinary hospitals are committed to the meeting the same excellent dog and cat care standards.

Please feel free to take a look around our website to get to know our clinic a bit better. Also, take advantage of our complimentary website membership, which offers articles and tips on how to enrich the lives of pets. Examples include the importance of vaccinations, common types of animal surgery, and reasons to spay and neuter your pets.
