Dekalb-Gwinnett Animal Emrgncy

When my blind/neurologically challenged Irish Setter got out, someone else found her before I did and assuming she was hurt (which she wasn't) kindly took her to this Clinic. Unfortunately my dog and pulled off her collar with tags and it was only by the chip that they were able to contact me. I was pleased by the care and knowledge of the veterinarian but was horrified when I was told that, if they had not been able to reach me by the close of that day they would have euthanized my dog. At first I thought I had mis-understood but they repeated this several times - if they had not been able to reach me, they would have euthanized my dog. Other than being blind and having gait problems, the dog was 3 years old and in perfect health.

I have needed them several times for after-hours pet emergencies and each and every time the doctors and staff have been gracious, caring and helpful. I can't say enough good things about the way they have taken care of my pets. Their quality of care is excellent - both animal and owner are treated with respect and concern.

We had occasion to bring our 7-month old golden puppy to this clinic on Sunday morning -- to which we were referred by our regular vet's voicemail. She had eaten an object (?) and was in distress of all sorts. She was treated by a wonderful vet with 8 years of experience at this clinic (lots of emergencies!) -- and we felt 100% comfortable and confident leaving our pup to her care. They provided initial tests and treatment very quickly, treated and monitored her throughout the day, and kept us posted. I was also glad to be invited back to the general work area to see where our dog was resting (a spacious, very clean treatment area). Detailed estimate was provided (including what if's). When she was better and we came to take her home, we got all her xrays, paperwork, and detailed written instructions on meds etc... Info also faxed to her regular vet. I definitely recommend them if you have a pet emergency.

I've used this clinic twice and been very happy with the service.
The first time, several years ago, I had to have my cat put to sleep; they handled it very well and with great empathy. The second was recently when our puppy was bitten by a snake. Our local vet was closing and referred us to them; they provided terrific care all night long and the vet checked in with us to let us know how he was doing. They're also very careful to let you know exactly how much each procedure or medication is going to cost so that you're not surprised when you arrive to pay the bill.

My 9 month old puppy was about to die because of the toys he had chewed and eaten. The docotors here performed emergency surgery on him and saved him. The follow up care (after our regular vet did little while he was in their care) for him was great. They saved his life and because of them I have the best dog I have ever had. They are like the Grady Trauma Unit for animals.

this business is in a real great location and the prices are about the same as other vet dr bills they have always had a clean place and the staff is very friendly the only problem I have is that they don't always have a bird dr there so this is a real problem if my vet is closed cause I have to go way out of my way to another vet hospital that will take my birds
