Welcome to Copper Point Veterinary Hospital, a full-service small animal hospital born from a lifelong passion for animal care. Co-founded by Linda Privette and Dr. Allen Privette, our practice unites Dr. Privette's 30-plus years of dedicated veterinary expertise with Linda's MBA and 30-plus years of executive management experience. Together, we built this clinic on a heartfelt mission: to welcome every patient through our doors and treat them with the exact same love, dedication, and care that we give to our very own pets.

Thanks to the trust and loyalty of our wonderful clients, our practice has been fortunate to grow, allowing us to expand our care and welcome Dr. Elizabeth Moorefield (affectionately known as Dr. Liz) to our team as a full-time veterinarian. Dr. Moorefield brings 19 years of clinical experience, including over 15 years in companion animal medicine. An Auburn University graduate, she has advanced training in diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, and cardiology. As an Elite Fear Free, Feline Friendly, and Low Stress Handling® Silver Certified professional, she is deeply committed to gentle, individualized care and open communication with our pet families.

You might wonder where the name "Copper Point" comes from. Our name and logo are a heartfelt tribute to Skeeter (affectionately known as Skee), Dr. Privette's faithful Australian Shepherd sidekick for over 16 years. Standard Australian Shepherd coats often feature the distinct tan markings known as "copper points." Skee was famous for his calm demeanor, his striking blue eye, and his deep copper points. The writer W.R. Purche once said, "Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong." At Copper Point, that philosophy shapes our daily practice. We know that every pet is the absolute best companion to the family who loves them.
