Ratings_icons Clairmont Animal Hospital is a Life Saver

Lisa H.

Our 16 year old cat, Cuji, ate a small animal and could not pass all of the bones. We had to go out of town on an emergency and had to drop her off at Clairmont Animal Hospital. While there she became worse and required surgery. She had to be taken to an emergency 24hr clinic. The Vet Tech took her there and she had the surgery and brought her back to CAH. All of this was done while we were out of town and somewhat helpless. Cuji is now home and quite healthy and wears a bell on her collar from now on. I think that the effort that the Doctors and Staff at CAH took to care for Cuji and went out of their way to ensure that she received the best care possible was outstanding. They called and updated me at every chance and saved our now 17 year old's life. I definitely would recommend Clairmont Animal Hospital to all responsible pet owners.

Ratings_icons Emory Animal Hospital Rocks!

James T.

They have saved me money at every turn and have been exceedingly accommodating to my pet's needs. As far as the last comment is concerned- I'm glad you found another vet, because I don't want your rabid cat to bite me while I'm waiting for my appointment. I hope you were apologetic to the person your cat bit- sounds like you weren't.

Ratings_icons Don't let your pet leave your sight....

C B.

We took our cat to Emory. Our cat weighs 5 pounds and was getting a fecal sample taken. They took her out of the room for the exam (unusual if you ask me) and then came back and told us that she had bitten the vet tech. We were told she would need to be quarantined because the rabies vaccine (indoor only cat) was 3 weeks expired. We were forced to decide between:
A. Let Animal Control keep her for 10 days (we were advised against this by several parties), or
B. Pay Emory Animal Hospital $18 a day to quarantine her, totalling $180.

We ended up paying the $180 and having her gone for 10 days. My wife was torn up over the whole ordeal and we've moved to a different vet now. Needless to say, we would not recommend Emory after how they handled it all. Our cat has never bitten any other person or even reacted aggressively. If Emory can't avoid a bite from a 5 pound animal and/or aren't prepared for a reaction when performing a rectal exam, that is unacceptable. And then for us to have to pay the $180 for their mistake???

Find another vet.

Ratings_icons Excellent service and caring staff

Lindsay W.

The staff and Dr. Prather are always very nice and they always seem genuinely concerned if there is anything wrong with one of my cats, and they all seem to be very caring about animals in general.

Ratings_icons Emory Animal Hopital & Dr.Smith

Mack N.

I have used Emory Animal Hospital since they opened 16 years ago. I have gotton to know Dr. Smith and the staff and cannot think of any place I would rather have treat my pets. They know that when you have an ill pet that you become a patient as well. They have researched my pets cases as well as found ways to make treatment economical over the years. Dr. Smith has gone out of his way many times to insure that my pets have the best treatment possible and I am eternally grateful.

Suellen Z.

I had to make the very tough decision of euthanizing my 15 year old lab mix named Dawson. I recently visited Emory Animal Hospital for a second opinion. They were so kind and compassionate and shared in my pain. Dr. Smith was very understanding and told me he had to make the same decision with his golden retriever. That day I waited no more that 6 minutes to be put in a room. I have made several more visits with my cat, jojo. I have always been able to get in the same day or drop off my cat. I am very happy with Emory Animal Hospital.

PROS: kind & caring staff, high-tech equipment
CONS: small waiting area- my dog doesn't like other dogs

Emory Animal Hospital is one of the best hospital for pets....and with some excellent vets..They are so friendly and really pamper your pet.It is just little hard to get an appointment but my dog feels very comfortable there. The best is in case of emergencies at night you can just take your pet and they will make sure to look at it in no time and I really appreciate it .

I can tell they really care about my dog. The vets always explain very clearly what I need to do when I take him home after surgery, etc. That's not always the case with other animal docs.

Pros: Great care

Cons: a bit pricey
