Pet Heroes

I woke up on October 1 to bloody vomit from my thirteen year old kitty. I immediately called my primary vet and they suggest I take her here. Dr. Goodnight was very professional while also still having a good bedside manner. It was determined that she was in a lot of pain and her quality of life was being questioned. I couldn’t put her to sleep in a strange place but I asked them to prescribe her some nausea and pain meds so that I could take her to her primary vet in the morning. They were completely okay with this and never tried to nickel and dime me. They called me that Thursday to check on Lily and see how she was but unfortunately she was too sick and didn’t make it. Robin was extremely sweet to me and made me feel a lot better. They had only met my sweet girl once but they treated her as if she were their own. I went in my mailbox today to find a “thinking of you” card where the entire staff wrote a little something on the inside of the card for me and my family in the loving memory of Lily. Thank you for realizing what a special cat Lily was and treating her as if she were your own. I’m thoroughly impressed with this clinic and will continue to go to them with any of my emergency needs for my other animals. Thank you for caring. – Rachael Graham

As a North Georgia Veterinary Specialists client, you can be assured of our full attention to your pet’s needs. When you arrive for your appointment, we will usher your pet to our treatment area to obtain vital parameters and conduct an initial survey of his/her clinical status. This will be done while you complete our new client and patient history forms. We advised that you arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to allow time to fill out these forms and get registered into our system. For your convenience, and to shorten your wait time, you may complete these forms on your computer or by hand, in advance of your first appointment, and print and bring them with you:

Upon completion of these initial steps, you will be ushered into one of our consulting rooms, and your designated veterinarian will meet with you to ask you further questions and recommend diagnostic tests if needed. Many of these tests can be completed within our hospital while you wait. Your veterinarian will discuss a possible diagnosis and further diagnostic and/or treatment plans if warranted. We welcome questions throughout your visit with us as we want you to be completely comfortable with the information you receive from us and the decision you make about your pet’s care.

We look forward to meeting you and your pets! We also welcome you to take a virtual tour of our facility.
