Southside Veterinary Center in Moultrie, GA, is a full-service veterinary center for companion and farm animals.

It is our commitment to provide the highest standard of care for pets and exceptional customer service to their owners.

A Team You'll Be Proud to Call Home.

At Southside Veterinary Center, we're passionate about helping veterinarians thrive—whether you're an experienced doctor looking for a supportive team or a new graduate seeking mentorship that truly sets you up for success.

Our two-doctor practice is built on collaboration, kindness, and a shared commitment to practicing high-quality medicine. You'll work alongside experienced veterinarians who genuinely enjoy teaching, mentoring, and celebrating each other's successes.

We primarily serve companion animals. You'll have access to the tools, support staff, and resources needed to practice medicine confidently while maintaining your own clinical style and autonomy.

Most importantly, Southside is a place where people enjoy coming to work. We value teamwork, open communication, work-life balance, and creating an environment where veterinarians feel supported both professionally and personally.

About Heartland Veterinary Partners

Heartland Veterinary Partners is a support organization that is committed to improving the lives of veterinarians. We purchase veterinary practices and provide operational support to relieve administrative burdens such as payroll, recruiting, HR, marketing and accounts payables. If needed, we invest to support growth. The practices maintain their unique branding, culture and clinical autonomy.

At Heartland, we believe that selling a veterinary practice shouldn’t mean losing what makes it remarkable. When we acquire a practice, the doctor comes first. We listen closely to their needs in order to create a one-of-a-kind solution to ease their administrative burdens—all without disrupting their day-to-day operations, the culture they’ve fostered, and the relationships they’ve built. In other words, the name over the door doesn’t go away. The headaches of running a business do.

Partnering veterinarians appreciate an improved work-life balance, less financial worry, and the confidence that their teams will be in good hands. Best of all, they get to focus on why they entered the business in the first place: to care for animals and to be present when their clients need them most. Practice team members enjoy the warm culture of their individual community practices combined with the support and resources that Heartland brings to the table.

Improving the lives of veterinarians means supporting them at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a veterinary student or a new graduate looking for hands-on learning to begin your career or an experienced veterinarian looking to tackle management and leadership opportunities, we keep your goals at the heart of everything we do.

The Heartland Support Center team is hardwired to serve. We follow the philosophy of servant leadership and put the needs of others first with a genuine desire to help. As a result, Heartland’s practices count on team members to be there for them with heart and solution, not a corporate agenda.
