Step into Care at Arab Vet Hospital

Welcome to Arab Veterinary Hospital, where we are not just your local veterinarian, but also a passionate team of animal enthusiasts dedicated to delivering unparalleled care for your cherished pets. Led by Dr. J. Michael Brown, our hospital embodies a deep love for animals, from our environmentally conscious facility to our personalized approach to veterinary medicine.

In 2015, we underwent a transformative journey, creating a state-of-the-art facility representing our commitment to excellence. Our hospital stands as a haven for pets and owners alike. With a blend of modern technology and sustainable solutions, our solar-powered rooms are a testament to our eco-friendly efforts. We even offer an underground tornado shelter for protection and peace of mind. You and your pet’s safety and comfort matter to us.

Dr. Brown sums up our philosophy perfectly: “It’s an alternative to commercialized corporate medicine… We call it relational medicine. We look at veterinary care for pets as a door through which we interact with families—people and their children and their pets. It’s relationships that matter in life.”

Meet Doctor J. Michael Brown

Dr. J. Michael Brown assumed the leadership role at Arab Veterinary Hospital just before graduating from Auburn University in 1983. He has long considered this a privilege and opportunity of a lifetime. Practicing veterinary medicine in this small, conservative town with our team for more than three decades has given Dr. Brown satisfaction, purpose, and, frankly, more entertainment than any one person should ever enjoy.

Through the years, this practice has prospered, embracing advancements in the field. Great strides in technology and technique have given rise to the private practitioner’s amazing opportunities to advance in general practice.

Still, Dr. Brown has remained grounded in his true practice philosophy. He will be quick to say that the art of practicing quality veterinary medicine and surgeries is not about raw numbers, data, and target milestones, but rather, it is the art of understanding one’s place. He respects that this profession is merely the conduit through which he can forge lasting and meaningful relationships with clients.

He will also tell you veterinary medicine is a fun-filled, fast-paced, challenging occupation, but ultimately, it is the friendships, old and new, that bring the most joy and offer the greatest reward.

Each and every interaction with Arab Veterinary Hospital has exceeded my expectations. The doctor and many of his staff have worked tirelessly to obtain the appropriate medication and treatment for my little girl. She is not an easy case and has required several appointments. Dr. Brown was also able to schedule Gracey to be seen by one of the specialists despite his limited availability. A special shout out to Dr. Brown's wife for always coming out to speak to us while we are waiting. I can't thank them enough for taking such great care of my sweet girl!

I will always be grateful to Dr.Brown and his staff for the loving care of our babies Harley and Izzy were given each and every time we took them in. Harley is paralyzed in her back legs and Dr.Brown went above and beyond to try and get her to walk again,the damage was already done..she stayed at the vet for 2 months and she was spoiled rotten. I have another baby her name is Izzy and unfortunately she also cannot walk or do anything on her own..we have made the hard decision to lay her to rest and could not imagine taking her anywhere else where she would just be another dog. I feel like with Dr.Brown she is like family and for that I am so thankful and blessed..

Best veterinarian experience ever! The office is clean and beautiful. The staff is friendly and they start their excellent customer service from the first call you place to them. Dr. Brown made us feel like our pup was his only patient. He took the time to answer all our questions and told us some pretty funny stories. We can’t wait to go back again!

I’ve been in veterinary industry for 6 years as a vet tech. I’ve recently became a SAHM. I’m very picky about where my animals receive their care and Dr.Brown have exceeded my expectations. In all my years I’ve been in the industry I haven’t seen or experienced a Veterinarian as caring and passionate about their clients. He’s very informative, was able to make it clear about what needed to be done and what were my options. He went far and beyond to help my cat Kirby. She was very sick and needed surgery, he did everything he could to help her and she’s doing great! I would highly recommend this facility for your animals care. It’s affordable and there’s basically everything there. Boarding, Grooming and urgent care. And to top it all off the facility is beautiful. Nicely decorated inside and out.
