Churchland Animal Clinic, estabilished in 1968. When Churchland was surrounded by farms, Dr. Donahue treated both small and large animals, and it was not unusual to find horses and other large "critters" being cared for in our parking area. As the Churchland farms have faded, the era has passed for large animal medicine at Churchland Animal Clinic. In 1986, Talmadge "Midge" Yeatts Jr., DVM, joined Dr. Donahue's staff and began practicing small animal medicine. In November 1998, Dr. Donahue and Dr. Yeatts joined forces to start the North Suffolk Animal Clinic in the Bennetts Creek area of Suffolk. In 1999, Dr. Donahue announced his retirement, and Dr. Yeatts purchased the practice. Today, Dr. Yeatts is joined by a staff of exceptional veterinarians, technicians, receptionists, and assistants. Together, they are bound by the highest degree of veterinary ethics and continually strive to provide quality veterinary care to our patients and clients
Mission — Team Churchland's primary focus is providing well-rounded, quality preventative healthcare to the pets within the Churchland community. We are committed to caring for your companions. Preventive veterinary healthcare includes annual physical exams, a vaccine protocol tailor-made for your pet's lifestyle, providing education to you, the pet's parents, every step of your pet's life, and being a partner in your pet's overall wellness. Our team of veterinarians focuses on exercise and nutritional counseling to help pets avoid serious health problems in the future
