Veterinarians in Athens

“Very friendly atmosphere, they take their time. Work and treat them as their own. They don't push anything on you.“

“Hope always does an amazing job. Dr. Clifton was very informative and polite. She and the tech made sure to take time to make Ruckus feel comfortable. I have and will continue to tell people about Hope.“

“The vet tech and Dr. Samples are very professional, yet very friendly as well, and extremely knowledgeable about our pets’ conditions. They don’t try to do scans that aren’t necessary, and that is much appreciated. The front staff are friendly and helpful. I really love this practice!“

“Everyone is always so kind! They care for your pet as much as you do. Really like that the doctors call you to talk about your pet, it’s the extra mile that means the most!“

“I got back from a week long vacation and was so worried my cat had a blockage. I don’t have a primary vet here in Athens, so I took a gamble and am so glad I did. The team at South Athens was phenomenal and saw me on very short notice, despite the lack of information I could provide on the situation. They did a full exam, made me completely at ease, and helped me get her up to date with vaccines. My only mistake was not bringing her here sooner!“

“Season Greetings Dr. Cown
Candy and her brother had to say hello. You all are the best bunch at any vet we've come across. Sending our love and appreciation.“

“Gaines Shoal is state-of-the-art in every way. Kind and caring staff and doctors that genuinely value their customers. We had to put our eldest down several months ago and they were incredibly kind and empathic to our hard decision. Our new puppy is getting all the care and attention he needs from them as well!“

“We took our cat in for a refill on medication and he also got a laser treatment for a couple of wounds..“

“I can't say enough about this place. On the worst day of our life they made everything so much better. Absolutely the best vets ever.“

“I have used the Boulevard team to care for my two cats for the past eight years. They are pleasant, accommodating, and down-to-earth. They understand all the factors that go into making decisions for the well-being of your furbabies, and they do not pressure you into expensive treatments that are unnecessary. Even after moving more than 30 minutes away, I have continued to use Boulevard Animal Hospital because of the great experience I have had over the years. I would highly recommend this clinic and all the vets on staff!“

“I found a small kitten by the on ramp to the hwy off exit 9. She had just gotten hit by a car. I took her to Companion Animal Hospital before they were open and saw a lady walking a dog. She ran in and opened the door for me. Within seconds the ladies had taken the kitten in to see the Dr and the Dr had started treatment dealing with the kittens pain and trauma.
Kitty will heal and be good to go thanks to the immediate action by these amazing people!
Thank you so much Companion for your prompt help and concern for that tiny baby. I will be forever grateful.
I would definitely recommend Companion. Two very impressed thumbs up!!“

“We knew it was time. Dr Wong came to my home when my elderly dog needed to be 'put to sleep'. We had had an awful night and her calm, caring manner was a balm on our wounded hearts. She took time to honor his life. We will be forever grateful. Truly, she is a godsend.“

“They did a phenomenal job with my 6 month puppy's nail clipping. I've done a lot of dogs I just couldn't do hers. I was very happy that they got done.“

“Dr Vincent Smith has always taken excellent care of our animals, I would say over and beyond. Vincent is a very caring and knowledgeable veterinarian. Our family would not choose any one other than Athens Regional Vet Services.“

“Dr. Pentlarge and Monica were great. Dr. Pentlarge explained everything in detail and was very gentle with my puppy. I highly recommend visiting them if you need to. I'm thankful“

“University of Georgia Animal Hospital has an unbelievable facility, with the most caring and knowledgeable Doctors and staff. We are from South Carolina and it was well worth the drive.“

“We were referred to Dr. Stampley in 2023 when our husky tore her right CCL. We elected for surgery and noticed an immediate difference in our gal Scarlett. Fast forward to 2025 and she also had a tear in her left CCL. We did not hesitate to bring her back in to see Dr. Stampley! After consulting with Dr. Stampley we decided a second knee surgery was the best route. During both procedures and leading up to the procedures the staff and Dr. Stampley were wonderful in explaining everything. The care Scarlett receives when she is there is fantastic. She is now able to be pain and enjoy being a dog rather than sitting on the sidelines. If you are hesitant to get the surgery, I was, I would say to do it and do not look back. The recovery is tough but it is well worth it.“

“We have been patients of Good Hands for over 20 years and 6 dogs. Always the best care and concern for us both the dogs and people! Their compassion as we helped our Old Ben over the rainbow will never be forgotten.“

“I had my Great Dane at UGAVTH for surgery on his eye. The vets and the students (especially the students) were great to deal with and did a phenomenal job. Communication was great. They kept me up to speed on everything going on with my dog throughout his stay. I have dealt with the large animal side of the facility many times over the last 40 years and have always felt that my animals got the best care possible. This is my first experience with the small animal side and was very pleased with the care here as well. I would recommend UGA to anyone.“
