Our Story
Rooted in Experience, Driven by Care
Founded and led by Dr. David Carlton, Carlton Animal Clinic has served the Jackson community for decades. What began as a local clinic built on dedication and integrity has grown into a trusted center for comprehensive pet care. Over the years, Dr. Carlton and his close-knit team have cared for thousands of cats and dogs, treating everything from everyday concerns to complex medical conditions.
Our mission has remained consistent throughout the years: to provide high-quality, individualized care in a warm, welcoming environment. We believe the best veterinary relationships are built on trust, clear communication, and mutual respect. That’s why we make time to get to know each pet and pet parent who walks through our doors.

At Carlton Animal Clinic, we’re not just here for your pet’s annual exam — we’re here for every step of your journey together. From puppy and kitten care to senior wellness, we offer thoughtful, full-spectrum support tailored to your pet’s needs.
Our team stays informed on the latest advancements in veterinary medicine and technology, including FDA-approved Class IV laser therapy. But beyond innovation, we never forget the importance of empathy and a gentle hand. Every check-up, procedure, and surgery is approached with the same care and attention we’d want for our pets.
