Mission Statement

Dr. Ashley Harrison is a Birmingham native.  She worked for five years as a veterinarian technician before attending veterinary school at Auburn University.  After graduation she practiced veterinary medicine in Birmingham and has also worked extensively with the Spay and Neuter Alliance.  

Dr. Harrison is married and has one son.  She has numerous pets of her own and she is especially fond of horses.  Dr. Harrison says she has been a horse person since her youth.   

A welcome addition, Dr. Harrison sees patients and does surgery full time at Westwood Pet Care.

A 1977 graduate of the Auburn College of Veterinary Medical Medicine, Dr. Fontaine is a past president of the Southeast Alabama Veterinary Medical Association and is a member of the Greater Dothan Veterinary Medical Association.  In addition, he maintains memberships in the AVMA and ALVMA.  Practicing in the Wiregrass since 1977, he opened Westwood Pet Care in 2002.

He and his wife, Adrienne, have one son, Dan, and a daughter-in-law, Laura, and two grandsons, Evan and Julian.  Dr. Fontaine enjoys a number of hobbies including music, cooking, gardening, and of course, spending time with his grandsons!

Dr. Vickers is a 2003 graduate of the School of Veterinary Medicine at Oklahoma State University and has practiced extensively in and around the Tulsa area.  He and his wife Ruth became fond of our state's beauty and culture as they passed through when they vacationed on the Gulf Coast with their two sons.  As the youngest son is about to complete his high school education, Dr. Vickers and Ruth decided to relocate to our area.  We are fortunate that Dr. Vickers has decided to continue his practice at Westwood Pet Care.

Experienced, professional, competent, Dr. Vickers is just what every veterinary clinic needs, but his compassion and easygoing, agreeable good nature make him a perfect fit for Westwood with our emphasis on client service.
