“I cannot express enough my appreciation for each person on the Firehall 4 team. Not only are they highly professional and knowledgeable, but they are also a caring and compassionate group of people. My Coco has received the finest care since we started going to Firehall seven years ago when she was a new pup. The follow-up by the team is extraordinary and very appreciated. They care about my Coco and me.”

“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!”
“Very friendly staff! I took my kitten for its first wellness check with Dr. Thornton and the appointment were reasonably priced and efficient, and they really did care about my little guy. They offered top tier services, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who loves their furry friend as family. Thank you, South Athens Animal Clinic, for being so trusting!”

“My sweet puppy always gets so excited going to the vet! I’m one of those people that gets anxious making appointments, but when I call to bring my sweet girl in, I don’t get scared because the staff is so easy to talk to and communicate with. Everyone is so genuinely kind and seems to love what they do. It is also very reasonably priced! I cannot recommend this place enough. These people know and love what they do - I feel so comfortable bringing my sweet girl here :)”
“Our baby Poppy is a difficult dog. Animal wellness has gone above and beyond to try and make her feel comfortable. The whole staff is Friendly , caring , and shows love and compassion to each and every animal that passes through their doors”
“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!”

“Staff friendly and professional. Dr. Jeff was honest, thorough and attentive to our concerns of our dog. We felt a great comfort having our Nikki there. Appreciated.”
“ALL staff members that I encountered were the sweetest, knowledgeable and most attentive vet techs!
The doctors were informative and very assertive with my dog Coco’s condition and helped me tremendously with the overwhelming situation that both him and I were put in. (& especially Dr.
Howard- big props to you!)
Hands down best vet hospital in Athens!
10/10 all around with communication, pricing and scheduling!”
“Quality service & knowledgability. Prices aren't always very affordable, but it's worth finding an alternative for what you can get elsewhere. They offer a lot of special medications, panels, & personalized service that I've yet to find elsewhere.
I have been taking 4 babies here with happy results & treated/managed conditions for almost 4 years!”

“I called Dr Wong at 9:30am on a Monday and she was able to drive to our house by 1 that afternoon- our sweet Mulan was in liver failure and was terrified of her vet, so we decided to have her pass at home in her bed. She was unable to walk anymore and carrying an 80 pound dog was not something she would have liked. Dr Wong sat on our couch and explained to my 16 year old son and 23 year old daughter what the process was and what to expect- she then knelt down and rubbed Mulan with compassion and told her what a “sweet girl” she was. Mulan passed peacefully and I am telling everyone- doing it in your own home- is so so so much better than at a sterile clinic. The cost was more than a clinic, but so very worth the extra expense. Dr Wong is in the right profession and will do her best to help you at this terrible and difficult time. Thank you and God bless you Dr Wong.”
“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.”
“These guys are amazing they saved my puppy when she was 2 months old she had parvo and worms , all the vets told us she had a low survival chance they saved her life forever great full for these staff ! God bless”
“The entire staff here are incredibly patient and kind. Our cat kinda freaked out on the vet and he was incredibly calm. Explained to us the issues our cat had in an easy to understand way. The people at the front desk were also knowledgeable and professional.
The giant orange cat wandering around is just a bonus”
“Dr Pentlarge takes extreme care with your pets eyes, is very knowledgeable and will explain conditions thoroughly. Her office is a wonderful old house, not some dump as others have called it. Although I did have to wait at our 2 appointments, she is so worth the wait.”

“Dr. Rankin is the best! I had a sudden and alarming behavioral change in one of my sweet kitties and the wonderful people here fit us in right away! Everyone was so nice and very professional from the get-go. Dr. Rankin was very thorough and included me in the decision-making process as far as diagnostics and treatment plan. I really cannot speak highly enough of my experience.”
“Such kind and caring staff! From the lovely ladies at the front desk to Mary and Katrina who took care of my sweet Ollie! I just moved to Georgia from Texas and had to find a place to keep up with my dog’s severe allergies. I was recommended the school’s vet, and I’m so glad I was! The visit cost was about $70, and the cytopoint injection was $88, (which, at my previous vet, was closer to $150 for the injection alone). For reference, my dog is a white bully breed, about 75-80 pounds. He also got a cytology exam for a small lump forming on his chest, which was $53 (he’s okay!). Total cost visit was $212, which is pretty affordable in my experience. I felt that the staff did a great job of getting my puppies history, addressing all my concerns and answering all my questions. Plus, they were very generous with the treats :) I will note that I did have to wait a little long in the room due to it being a teaching vet clinic, but I felt extra comfortable and put to ease knowing that many professionals got to add their impressions and expertise into the pot. Absolutely recommend, especially if you’re able to spare a little more time at the vet! (Extra pictures of my house hippo provided)”

“I cannot express my gratefulness for resident Dr. Chong enough! My kitten has had a two huge rodent ulcers on her upper lips for about a year now. I have spent nearly $2000 and seen three different vets to try to get these ulcers healed. Nothing has worked, but every vet kept giving her the same expensive medication that was not working. Dr. Chong was the first doctor who actually seemed to care, especially when taking into account financial constraints. He sat down with me, prescribed my kitten a new medication that was half the price (even showed me how to use GoodRX to use coupons for it), and just a couple weeks later her lips are fully healed! THANK YOU!!!!”
“Absolutely amazing staff! Came in last week, had to do a checkup on our dog… They were so understanding and sweet! Definitely affordable and the NICEST staff. They were so good to our sweet boy and we appreciate it so much. Here’s Meatball btw:) I love to see others love animals as much as I do.”
