Our History

     Rehm Animal Clinics are full service veterinary clinics with four locations in the Mobile/ Baldwin County area.  We were established in 1983 by Dr. Chris Rehm.  He was joined by his brother, Dr. Mike Rehm, and Dr. Fox Metcalf.  Dr. Fox passed away in 2015, but his memory lives on in our team's heart.  Dr. Caroline Hassell, daughter of Dr. Mike Rehm, joined the practice in 2009. 

     Dr. Bryant and Dr. Carney, both Mississippi State grads, joined our team in 2013 and 2015.  In 2016, Dr. Alex Brasher joined us.  Each of them bringing their own ideas and techniques to enrich the practice and advance our veterinary care.

     In 2021, three more Rehm kids (Dr. Mandy Rehm, Dr. Barry Rehm and Dr. Mary Rehm) joined the family practice as veterinarians.  They have been a welcome addition to the team and have helped to teach the old dogs new tricks.

     Over the years, the RAC family continued to grow and their mission has stayed the same.  Rehm Animal Clinic seeks to improve the quality of life of pet patients thru compassionate care.  At Rehm Animal Clinics we are focused on high quality pet health care.  Each of our locations are accredited with the highest standards by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).
