CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN (WLAF)- LaFollette Veterinary Services and Animal House Veterinary Services have you and your pet covered on all your veterinary needs! With two great locations, both clinics are locally owned by Kristy and Bryan Templin. Each clinic offers full veterinary services, including in-house blood work with a quick turn-around for results, as well as ultra-sound services.
The clinics also offers some specialty services, such as Animal House offers dental X-rays, while LaFollette Vet features in-house grooming and boarding services, along with “in-house cremation services.”
Kristy has over 35 years of experience in veterinary services. She was born and raised in Campell County in the Glade Springs area.
Growing up, Templin always loved animals. She attended and graduated from Lincoln Memorial’s University’s Veterinary Technology Program in 1997 and “has been here ever since”, serving the animals of Campbell and surrounding counties.
Templin spent 29 years working at LaFollette Vet, and for the past six years, she has owned the business and just recently expanded with another location in Jacksboro. The official opening day for Animal House Veterinary Services was on January 26.
“We are excited to say we have opened a satellite clinic in Jacksboro. Office hours are Mon-Fri 8:00-5:45 and some Saturdays will be available. Our wish for this second clinic is to meet the needs and be convenient for our clients and their fur babies,” Templin said.
She said LaFollette Vet had been so busy with clients coming from Knoxville, Scott County, and even further away to come up to the LaFollette clinic, so she decided to “expand for the convenience for the clients.”
With Animal House Veterinary Services, they “started from scratch” with Kristy’s husband Bryan doing all the work.
“We were blessed with that, and I appreciate all the work he put into it,” Templin said.
She said they also have been blessed by the support of their clients.
Between the two clinics they have three full-time doctors, Dr. Jeff Maxwell, Dr. Melanie Manganaro and Dr. Hannah Vinsant Seiber.
“We are so excited to expand and give your pet the same great care they receive at LaFollette Veterinary Services; Our clinics will be linked, so feel free to use whichever location is convenient to you!” Templin said.
Stop by and see “the mini boss” which is Krysty’s granddaughter, little six-month old Rylynn. She is Templin’s first grand-baby and she “already loves animals.”
“She’s back and forth with her G-G, that’s me, at both of the clinics working with me, she’s the real boss,” Templin said.
