CANTON, Ga., July 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acres Mill Veterinary Clinic announced that the vet hospital offers pet owners the option to shop online for pets. According to veterinarian Dr. Michael Good, the online store features competitive pricing, manufacturers' guarantees, and free doses on selected purchases. Pet owners can also earn "VetBucks," the vet clinic's online rewards program. Every $10 purchase earns one VetBuck. Pet owners who refer new clients will also receive $10 in VetBucks. These can be used at the clinic to pay for pet services.

The Canton veterinarian and founder of Acres Mill Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Good announced that his vet hospital is offering pet owners the ability to make online purchases of pet supplies and request prescription renewals. The clinic's online store can be securely accessed through the Pet Portal.

"Our new online retail store brings the convenience of online shopping directly to pet owners," said Dr. Good. "We recognize that purchasing specialty pet products, such as nutrition supplements or medication, can be difficult for busy pet owners with demanding schedules. After all, we'd all prefer to be spending time with our pets rather than sitting in traffic running errands! Our online store allows pet owners to purchase quality, veterinarian-recommended products with confidence."

In order to access the online store through the Pet Portal, pet owners must first register and request a secure login from the veterinary clinic.

Once pet owners are logged in to the store, they can browse a variety of different specialty pet care products. These include special dietary foods, nutritional supplements, preventative medications for heartworms, fleas and ticks, and other products to meet pet care needs.

"We are proud to offer a wide variety of products backed by manufacturers' guarantees for quality and safety," said pet dentist Dr. Good. "Unlike some online pet stores where quality is not guaranteed, pet owners can enjoy peace of mind when shopping our online store. Everything we sell is backed by our animal hospital and carefully selected to meet the health needs of active cats and dogs."

The online store also includes products to help older pets as they age, such as hip and joint supplements.

The online store is part of the vet hospital's commitment to offering high quality Canton pet services, including pet vaccinations, wellness exams, and surgical care.

Dr. Good was named the HMSA veterinarian of the year and is the founder of the non-profit Homeless Pets Foundation. The foundation provides medical care, foster care, comfort and support for homeless pets. Together with veterinarians Dr. Michele Stewart, Dr. Dwight Alleyne, Dr. Good says he is committed to providing "quality care and excellent customer service that go paw in hand."
