Your Trusted Veterinarian in Moss Point, MS
Escatawpa Animal Clinic was established in July 1977 by Dr. Michael McCoy as a mixed animal practice. Originally operating from a small rental space, we transitioned to our current location in 1979 after purchasing and renovating a home to serve as a dedicated small animal clinic. In 2003, we demolished the original facility to build our modern practice, expanding our ability to provide comprehensive veterinary care for small and large animals. With over 45 years of continuous operation, we combine extensive experience with state-of-the-art facilities. Our team includes board-certified professionals and skilled support staff committed to animal health.We offer preventive care, surgical services, diagnostics, and emergency treatment for pets and livestock. Our mission remains centered on compassionate care and community trust. Maintaining high standards of professionalism and medical expertise, we serve Moss Point and surrounding areas with reliable veterinary services. Transparency in treatment options, clear communication about costs, and 24/7 emergency access demonstrate our client-focused approach. This long-standing practice continues evolving to meet modern veterinary needs while preserving personal care values.

Services
Annual Vaccinations
Preventive healthcare through age and lifestyle-appropriate vaccinations protects cats and dogs from infectious diseases. Our veterinarians create customized vaccination schedules for puppies/kittens, adult pets, and senior animals. Regular immunizations are crucial for maintaining herd immunity and preventing outbreaks of preventable illnesses in local animal populations.
Spay/Neuter Surgeries
Elective surgical procedures for population control and animal health benefits. We perform spaying for female animals and neutering for males at appropriate developmental stages. These surgeries prevent unwanted litters while reducing risks of certain cancers and behavioral issues associated with reproduction cycles.
Dental Procedures
Comprehensive dental services including cleaning, extractions, and periodontal treatment under anesthesia. Routine dental maintenance prevents systemic infections from oral bacteria. We use modern equipment for teeth scaling, polishing, and digital dental radiography to maintain pets' oral health throughout their lives.
Behavioral Consultations
Specialized evaluations address undesirable behaviors through medical assessment and environmental modification strategies. Our veterinarians determine if behavioral issues stem from medical problems or require training interventions. We work with owners to develop practical solutions for anxiety elimination and positive behavioral reinforcement.
Boarding Services
Secure in-clinic housing for cats and small animals when owners travel. Climate-controlled facilities provide safe, comfortable stays with individual attention. Boarded pets receive monitored exercise periods, medication administration when needed, and regular feeding according to owner instructions to maintain routine and reduce stress during housing.

I had to euthanize my old chocolate lab fur baby. It took me weeks to finally decide to release her from her pain. The WONDERFUL ladies that work here were so compassionate and respectful. I was blubbering and probably not making much sense but they were angels. Thank you ladies. I truly appreciate that.

They seem to care about the animals, but not the most professional and I am pretty sure they do Google searches to come up with a diagnosis. I promise my goat doesn't have a sunburn! But that is what concerns the vet.

Service is great, fast, and staff is awesome. Took our American Pocket Bully and got his ears show cropped, they did an awesome job, he has no scars. This is the only vet we will ever use, and their prices are good. Just a few pictures of him since we got him in March
