I used to be a long time customer of Rabun Animal Hospital when Dr. Arbitter was the owner of that…read morepractice. When the practice was sold to a national chain, everything changed; including their prices. When the national chain took over this practice, I could tell there was a huge difference in the care of my animals; and their only concern seemed to be raking up as many charges as possible for each animal, every time they came in for a visit. For those persons who may not know, Dr. Arbitter has his own practice open in Dillard, Georgia, and the practice is called Arbitter Veterinary Hospital; and it's just a very short distance down Highway 441 from Rabun Animal Hospital. If you want to do business with a local life time resident of Rabun county, who cares not only about the animals he sees and treats, and is compassionate about each and every owner's situation, then go see Dr. Arbitter at his new practice. If you need an EXCELLENT vet who is amazing with both pets and their owners, you should definitely take your pet go see Dr. Arbitter, who is right down the road!

I cannot understand why more clients have not commented on this excellent, caring facility! From…read morethe first day K-9 Meadows opened, I have intrusted my very dear Lexi (9-year-old chocolate lab) to their care. And now, Finn, our 4-month-old chocolate lab(fondly referred to Satan"s Spawn) has joined Lexi at doggy daycare. Although I have hired a trainer, the staff has taken it upon themselves to reinforce his training during his stay. What a difference! I have personally gotten to know the entire staff and I can say, without a doubt, they are the nicest and most competent people to oversee the care and well-being of their charges. Devin is an exceptional groomer. She treats every dog with special care and attention. Jay and his staff are ever ready to play with each individual dog. Each new dog is carefully screened for temperment and how they may interact with other dogs. Based on each assessment, each animal is paired with other dogs of like temperment, age and size. In addition, each dog enjoys its own huge run with temperature controlled indoor accomodations. I particularly like the large, natural grass play area. Every time I go to pick them up, one of the staff is actively playing with a resident one-on-one or no more than 2 or 3 other pups at the same time. This is individual, special care! I hope who ever reads this will visit Devin, Jay or one of the special staff members and see for themselves why K-9 Meadows is head-and-shoulders above the rest!
