Everyone was so nice and helpful. This has been the best experience for me and my Bailey boy.
Dylan has been grooming my two standard poodles for some time now and he does an excellent job on them. I have recommended him to neighbors. Great job Dylan! :-)
My cats are taken care of very well. The Vets thoroughly examine both my pets. I asked the appropriate questions and they answer. The staff is friendly and patient with my fur babies. They are all caught up on recommended rabies/distemper & any other preventative. I highly recommend.
Love Ellijay Animal Hospital, Dr Redman, and all the staff. It’s always reassuring to go to Ellijay Animal Hospital and see Dr Redman when our furry babies aren’t feeling well.

My little dog was suffering from what I thought was an eye infection, it was not. It turns out that it was two ulcers in her left eye. Ellijay Animal Hospital took her in and evaluated her in less than half hour after arriving. The facility was not equipped to handle these type of injuries. So, they found a hospital with an ophthalmologist, got an appointment on the same day. Unfortunately, for my pet she lost the eye but it could been worse. That type of condition can affect both eyes causing total blindness. With quick reaction of Ellijay Animal Hospital the surgeon was able to save the right eye. We are forever grateful to the staff and vet for their quick reaction. Thank you all.

Always great service
Great staff! My dog actually loves to go to the vet!
My babies are always treated with care and individual attention that I appreciate. I'm very happy that this clinic is not part of a corporation. The doctors here are free to make decisions based on what's best for your pet, without concern for corporate guidelines.
