Effingham, IL – December 5, 2024 – The Effingham County Chamber hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 14 to celebrate the reopening of East Side Veterinary Clinic. Now under the ownership of Effingham Veterinary Clinic, this marks their second location in Effingham and one of three total locations, including Newton Vet Clinic in Newton. Between the three clinics, they have 14 full-time veterinarians on staff, offering expanded veterinary care to the region.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony gave community members a chance to explore the newly renovated East Side Veterinary Clinic, meet its skilled veterinary team, and learn about the expanded services available to local pet owners. This addition reinforces Effingham Veterinary Clinic’s commitment to providing innovative and sustainable care, a tradition they have upheld since their establishment in 1973.

East Side Veterinary Clinic delivers comprehensive care for pets and their families, with a state-of-the-art facility equipped to provide advanced diagnostics, treatment options, and optimal outcomes for a variety of veterinary needs. Services include soft tissue surgery, diagnostics, wellness exams, and hospital care for various species.
