I can't recommend this clinic enough. They are phenomenal…read more I first used them about two and a half weeks ago, when one of our rowdy Great Pyrenees came up three-legged. (Old timey or farm terms for an animal that has a hurt leg/paw and can't distribute weight on that limb.) We recently moved to the Coopers Creek area. We are retired professional horse breeders. Not the back yard type...which I respect ultimately...but, some country folks that spent 30 plus years breeding, maintaining a top notch small breeding facility. I spent many a day and night working with large animal vets....traveled with them on their trucks and scraped old paint from their clinics. We can deliver distocia foals, do ivs, suture and pretty much a lot of things not really familiar. Not chest thumping at all. Just a day in the life. We had exquisite small and large animal veterinary clinics in the Winder area. Theiy worked with us, unbelievably. They loved the fact that we could handle pretty much everything from routine vaccinations (large animals, not pets) to administration of antibiotics, IV fluids, delivering foals, etc.. When we retired and moved back to the mountains (I'm a dyed in the wool hillbilly that ventured off to the big city for my career in geology), our main concern was finding a vet clinic for our beloved doggos and cats. We sold our very successful horse breeding operation and farm and moved to our retirement home, back in my beloved mountains. I tried a clinic in Blairsville....not. good. All I was to them was a a replant with a checkbook. Blah, blah, blah. We had one of our Great Pyrenees (relocated farm dogs...now couch potato) come up lame. Long story short...he was a week overdue for his yearlies....a week. We were trying to spend the next month getting everyone on the same schedule. They refused to see him. Even though I said go ahead and get his mere week overdue full plate of shots done....just help him...he was in the front seat of my SUV, whimpering in obvious pain. Again...I take care of my animals...always have. Trying to sync up everyone's shots. It was an over pierced tech that refused him treatment. When I was arguing that my beloved pet needed treatment....the pierced thing saw the Chick-fil-A delivery car come in to the clinic with their f#%^=%%/ breakfast. She dismissed us immediately, I can only imagine to get a free biscuit from her employer. My head exploded. Hubby and I got on the phone and soon found Cohutta Animal Clinic. I made the trip down to Blue Ridge and the phenomenal staff at Cohutta, met me in the parking lot and within 30 minutes, Buckshot was diagnosed with an ouchy sprained wrist, treated and we were on our way home. Yup, they went ahead and vaccinated him....even though he was safely within the time frame. Fast forward until this past Friday morning. Buckshot is fine and terrorizing the local squirrels and field mice. But....another of our pack of three dogs....Angus the Yorkie....suddenly couldn't breathe. He was almost 13. I raced him to Cohutta Animal Clinic first thing Friday morning. He had a collapsing trachea. He had never shown any indication of that. He was a bigger, stout, healthy Yorkie until all of a sudden....he crashed and couldn't breathe. Dr. Orr met me in the parking lot immediately and raced him into critical care. Angus was fine one minute....then wasn't. Dr. Orr and her staff spent all day trying to revive him enough to get to a specialist for a trachea Stent implant. They never stopped trying to get him stabilized enough for emergency transport. It wasn't to be. Even with the entire staff working with him all day, in incredible devotion and professional knowledge, it was little Angus' time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Angus was simply the best dog ever. And Dr. Orr and her staff did everything possible to save him and make his last hours as peaceful and comfortable as possible. I will NEVER forget their incredible compassion and kindness in one of the hardest times of our lives. God Bless Cohutta Animal Clinic. I have found my vet clinic.

Do not go to this vet. The doctors do not look at your pet in front of you and rely on a pre-talk…read moreyou do in waiting room with an assistant and in that process the assistant in my case probably did not convey what was going on with my dog correctly to the vet. My dog has sores all over and I informed the assistant that was why I was bringing him for diagnosis and that I had just given the dog Semperica Trio that was expired a couple days prior. The vet gave me more SempericaTrio and told me to give it to the dog and suggested a steroid shot for itching, which I declined due to dog not itching as much anymore. To make a long story short, I took the dog to Ocoee Animal Hospital for a second opinion and they did a swab of the sores to see it was yeast and found severe yeast infection in ears and in paws and precribed a series of antifungals and antibiotics and ear drops as it was systemic. I contacted Cohutta to let them know what was discovered by other vet and why they failed to properly diagnose and why on earth they told me to give dog a second dose of Semperica Trio immediately that would have been an overdose as I just gave him it two days prior and it was still good as I saw a dried tick on him. They continue to say that Semperica Trio is proper to treat yeast infections. I argued until I was blue in the face that Semperica TRIO does not cure ear and paw yeast infections. My common sense told me not to give dog a second dose of semperica TRIO as that could cause seizures, yet they still stand behind that as the remedy for all of this (Dr. Patterson to be specific). Unbelieveable. Ocoee Animal Hospital looked under a microscope and propely diagnosed the dog with me present, not in a back office that I could not see or even point out sores or talk to the doctor to show what was going on. Go to Ocoee if you want experienced and more personable vets where they inspect pet in front of you so you can clearly state what is going on. Cohutta is a joke and very dangerous for your dog.
