Meet Our Team

As animal lovers, our profession is so much more than our day job. With every animal we see, we strive to treat them like our own. Read below to meet the team that will care for your pet.

Dr. Randall A. Smith

He graduated from Bridgeport High School in 1970 and went directly to Auburn University to pursue a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Smith graduated from Auburn with the class of 1977. Aware from a young age that the people of this area needed the services of a veterinarian, he came back to help the people with whom he grew up, in the part of the country he loved. Dr. Smith is the father of 3 daughters, Klancie, Hilarie, and Mollie, and now the grandfather to 9 grandchildren, 6 boys, and 3 girls.

Kathy Smith

Kathy Smith’s official title is Office Manager, but she is really just the boss’s wife. Kathy met and married Randy while they were at Auburn, and over the years she has carried many titles, and worn many hats, as they say.

Kathy grew up in Clinton, Mississippi, the daughter of a fire chief and a registered nurse. Kathy graduated from Clinton High School in 1971 and graduated from Auburn University in March 1974 with a degree in Education. Kathy taught school from March 1974 until retiring in October 2004. Kathy retired planning to write a book or take “it” easy, but plans changed.

In February 2005, Kathy came to work at North Jackson Animal Clinic to spend her retirement helping Randy, and the staff, find ways to improve the services offered at North Jackson Animal Clinic. After leaving her job as an educator, she misses working with children, and she has had to learn how to handle all her new responsibilities, but Kathy finds great rewards helping others.
