Fornwalt Pam Dvm - East Paulding Animal Hospital

I have been taking my pets here for about 3 years and have no complaints. They are always attentive and I have never felt rushed. I turn in to a bit of a hypochondriac when it comes to my pets, and they are always patient and willing to see them, even when it's 10 minutes to closing time. They have fit us in at the last minute on more than one occasion. I have always found their prices to be reasonable.

I have used East Paulding Animal Hospital since they were on the corner of Dallas Highway and what was Dragestripe Rd.(They have moved to the new location now)As For the other reviews that were bad sometimes pets die and there is nothing that can be done. I have always know East Paulding to care about me and my pets. They have always been professional. They were so good to me when my kitten died, she was very sick and they told me up front it did not look good. They even sent me a sympathy card after she died. I take all of my animals here and recommend them highly.

The doctors are friendly and incompetent. Do not let them perform surgery on your pet! Go to a clinic that knows what they are doing and it's not this one. If there are any complications due to their surgery, run, do not walk to another expert vet who can undue their horrible mistakes before your beloved pet is dead. If something doesn't seem right, trust your gut, do not trust these doctors. Again run as fast as you can with your pet and get qualified help.

If anyone would like to see the boarding area they will gladly escort you back and give you a short tour of the facility. Also, they will answer any questions you have about feeding, blankets, walking, etc. All you have to do is ask!

I have been taking my multiple pets (dogs, cats, bunnies, gerbils) to this vet for the past 6 years and have always been treated very kindly. They have been treated us with respect when when have lost pets and as stated below, even sent us a card expressing their condolances. The prices are better than PetMeds.com and they have always been willing to work with me on money issues and do not push you have things done that are costly (unless they feel they would truly be beneficial). I have always gotten an appt when I called (just today I got an appt in an hour). I recommend this place to everyone who asks me about a vet in the area.

I had just recently moved to the paulding county area when my cat became ill. I called them and upon finding out that she was not eating, they scheduled an appointment for us first thing the next morning. They were quite busy, but the doctor took the time to understand what was going on. She was very knowledgeable and considerate. She provided me with an accurate diagnosis, treatment, and estimate of costs, and even offered to work things out with payment.My cat was operated on the same day, and by the next morning she was back home with me and doing great. They let me see her before and after her surgery and they even called me two days after I brought her home to check on her.It was nice to be treated like my cat is a part of my family (which she is).I recommend them.

My babies have been going to this place for 5 years. I have always had a good experience with them. Their prices are very reasonable and the staff are great. Yes, I've had a wait sometimes, but like the previous writer stated, it was because of an emergency with another pet that needed immediate assistance. The doctors spend time time with us "parents" answering questions and addressing concerns and seem happy to do that. The front desk staff are all very knowledgable and happy to answer questions when I call. What impressed me most are the other customers in the waiting room when I'm there with my "babies". All have been very complimentary when talking about this place while we're waiting to be seen. That says alot!

I have used East Paulding Animal Hospital for about 9 years. We had a total of 12 pets up until recently I was honored to be with one of my babies when she left us, just as when she came into my life. The front desk staff is great, when chaos ensues, they always try their best and apologize for any delay.
If ever there is a delay with my appointments - (and I have many!), I never complain as I know that whatever the reason, it is because the Doctors are taking care of someone else's pet - may be life threatening or life ending, and it is what I would want for any of my pets.
I love the multi animal discount, and yes the parking is limited sometimes, and you may be on hold a few minutes at times when you call, but it is all worth it.
When we recently lost one of our babies, they escorted us into a room through the side door, were professional and respectful at this very sad time. Two days later we received a card expressing their sadness too. They coordinate cremations well if desired.

Our first experience with this vet was to put down and cremate a long time friend. We had a 19 yr old cat that we had had for 18 yrs and we were told this would be the best vet that handles cremations as well. The experience was wonderful.. They were so kind and sympathetic. They got us in a room so we did not have to wait out in front in our grief, and also gave us proper time to say our good byes. After the final time, We received a nice sympathy card signed from the whole staff and we were treated as if we have been a customer for years when it was only our first visit. Now we got a new puppy and she needs to go in for shots and a diareah issue. When I called , as usual very friendly and attentive to the needs of our pet. Regarding the persons visit from 6/2008. I am not sure what happened other then the Drs were probably dealing with a major emergency in the back. I have worked for a vet, and it is standard that if the issues is not life threatening that the animal will be seen the next in a situation explained. I can tell you if her puppy was in a life threatening situation this vet would not turn them away... But the Dr has to make the choice of life and death. Surgeries are also done later in the day at times. But again, the other posters issue may not have been and issue of dire need that could not have waited until morning. I would suggest this Vet- the staff is great, office is clean, and they do care about you and your pet.

I thought that I had found a great vet when I took my puppy a few times prior to this horrific experience. My puppy started acting very strangely, she started to bite me and her paws. She had already had an issue with her paws when she was born, so I was very concerned. My puppy was getting wilder and acting more strangely by the minute. This was not normal behavior for my puppy! I rushed her to my vet and I knew I had to because it was almost closing time. I reached the hospital with a minute to spare. The front doors were locked and they told me to go to the back door. I told them what the problem was and the office reluctantly let me in. They then went to see if a vet could see me. The woman returned and told me that they would not see me because it was closing time. She then said that they could schedule me 2 days later. I was and am still infuriated because they could not see my puppy right then. I will not take my dog back to this vet because of this incident! I hope that you will do the same and not take your pet to this vet. They do not believe their mission-to help animals when needed!!!

I have visited just about every veterinarian's office in Paulding County and I am so thankful that I took my baby here, this office SAVED MY DOGS LIFE! I have been taking my two dogs and two cats to this animal hospital ever since, for over 5 years. I have never had an issue with anyone being rude, they have all been very patient and understanding with my babies and their needs. I make sure I go over shots that my pets need and don't need, so that I do not rack up a large bill. I highly recommend East Paulding Animal Hospital.

I love the vets here! Every one has been great to my dogs! I have used these guys for 5 years and have no complaints Tonya has cared for my dogs and is very good at explaining everything that is happening eat every stage. I have also boarded here for a few days in a pinch. The only down fall is that I have never seen where boarding is or that there is any outdoor accomadations for play time while boarding.

We've used this vet for over 2 years and have been very pleased. The Dr's and staff are very courteous and willing to spend time with your pet to diagnose the problem. They even have a multiple pet discount!

PROS: Great Vet; cares about your pet
CONS: Limited parking

I had to take my dog her because he had a problem aand I couldn't figure out what it was. When I got to the East Paulding Animal Hospital they knew exactly what the problem was. They fixed him up perfectly. The next day my dog was fine. It didn't even really cost me.
