The doctors are both amazing and the staff equally as amazing. I have been GAH since 2017 and they have always been great with all 4 of my dogs. Great job !!!! read more

Love this veterinary. care of our dogs for probably almost 20 years and she is the best she loves all the animals. Her staff does. They treat like family. read more

I started bringing my dog here about a year ago. During one appointment I mentioned a mass that she had on her stomach area that I was worried about. The veterinarian who looked at it didn't seem very concerned at all and said it was likely benign due to the way it looked, and that I should only be concerned if it changed in size or hardness. I decided to switch vets because I wasn't very satisfied with the care my dog was receiving, and once I brought her to her current vet, they ran some tests on her mass and determined that it was malignant and should be dealt with ASAP. I really feel that I wasted precious time bringing my dog to Garner Animal Hospital instead of a vet that actually focused on and cared about her needs. read more

If you care about your pets, don't use this vet! I used them for years and recently moved out of state. They refuse to send my pet records to me or my new vet. One of my pets had a health issue that Dr. Edwards never pointed out and I needed my dogs records to process. I have called several times and they said they would send them to me but never received. They will not deal with insurance in any way so I might as well cancel my policy. I'm so disappointed in them. They missed the fact that my pet had serious dental problems and was causing her to have bacterial infection. They don't have any X-ray equipment or facilities to do anything except exams. The office has gotten really sleazy and smells. Don't ignore this review. They are really a bad hospital. Don't use them! read more

My beloved cat is dead because of these people. They did not bother to inform me that my cat's kidneys were failing and they did not bother to inform me that there was a topical medication that can be used for her thydroid when I kept calling them telling them that my cat will not allow me to give her thyroid pills. If you really love your pets, please do not take them to this place. I don't think I will ever recover from the loss of my baby. read more

My wife and I trust Dr. Edwards. Luckily we found Garner Animal Hospital many years ago and took both of our older dogs. This vet is like I had back home in the western part of the state, where they assess the situation and give options. Dr. Edwards lets you know what happens, the options and her recommendation This vet does not push for unneeded procedures and does not guilt you into them. The prices are very reasonable, you are not paying for a brand new vet practice with non-needed amenities. Due to Garner Animal reasonable prices and caring staff and vets, it is a very popular place which can get extremely busy. read more

My dog had consumed something she should not have and was looking very till. I rushed her to Garner Animal Hospital because they were the closest vet "hospital". It was only a few minutes before they officially open at 7:30 and the lights were already on inside. I was greeted by a staff member who looked concerned about my dog but since they were not officially open suggested I should rush my dog to the Vet Specialty Hospital in Cary (15 miles away in morning traffic). Needless to say my little dog died on the way to Cary! This vet which calls themselves a hospital, in an emergency situation, is absolutely worthless! RIP my beloved Ruby girl. read more

In my experience as a lifetime pet owner, I am overjoyed with the treatment my pets receive and with the staff's caring, There have been numerous vets in our life, but this hospital and Vet are the best I have used. When we put down a cat with cancer, they were so understanding of our feelings. read more

Garner Animal Hospital, Garner NC: I called to make an appointment for my dog for teeth cleaning. I had been a client for a few years. The front desk person told me that she couldn't give me a price because prices change all the time unless I made an appointment. I tried to make an appointment then to get a price, but she still wouldn't give me a price and told me it wasn't going to be the same as I had before, which I said I knew. She told me she couldn't tell me a price because she was "really too busy dealing with other things". To my surprise, she did eventually call me back and told me they needed an upfront deposit to make the appointment and that I would need to put down a deposit of $295 to make the appointment. I explained that I had never had that before and she said that is how they had always done it. I also explained that I wanted to speak to someone else. A tech came on the line next and told me that was not correct. I waited for a call back from the owner/vet, but she never did. I called back the next day to just go forward with the appointment and was told the vet said to tell me I'm not a good fit for them and to find someone else? Because I was given wrong information and asked to speak to her? This place is dirty and unprofessional and I really can't warn you away fast enough. I had been looking for someplace else anyhow because they are so disorganized and unfriendly. Please consider going elsewhere. No one would explain correct information and apparently, I'm the problem and not a good fit because I asked too many questions and wouldn't put down a deposit to make an appointment. Jessica up front was uninformed and rude and the tech was also unprofessional. Basically, the bottom line was Dr. Edward's doesn't care to understand or communicate with her customers and if you ask for help in understanding and to speak to someone to understand, you are told to go somewhere else. I was informed the doctor/owner said to find someplace else and she was not going to call me back because she was "too busy". read more

Garner Animal Hospital is a small, country style Animal Hospital and my pets will never go anywhere else for their basic care. Dr. Edwards has been practicing for years and really knows her stuff. The staff are awesome! I always feel like their only client and never feel rushed through. It's not a fancy place but I know that if one of my "kids"really needed something more than they offer, they would refer me accordingly. Their prices are competitive and I have never felt overcharged for anything. I've been using their services for more than 10 yrs. and highly recommended Garner Animal Hospital for all of your basic pet care. Also recommended by Lola, Jax, and Zelda! read more

I have been going to Garner Animal Hospital since 1987. I found a superb and caring veterinarian by the name of Dr. Marlatte who cared and loved my dog as if it were his own. Dr. Edwards and Dr. Zobel have taken over and are both absolutely the best. If you are looking for a veterinarian I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Zobel has taken care of three of my dogs and she's fantastic. She is patient with our hyper labs, gentle, professional, and knowledgable. I have met other vets in the past that present like salesmen, trying to sell you on unnecessary products and services; Dr. Zobel and her staff have never done that. We will enjoy visiting her for many more years to come. read more

We have taken both our dogs to Garner animal hospital since we got them. The Docs are friendly and easy to deal with. The fees they charge are fair, less than other Vets in the area. -+ read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Edwards and the people who work there! I fairly recently found her after my dog's foot got run over by a UPS truck as I was walking him! After a very expensive initial treatment from a specialty vet, Dr. Edwards took over with common sense and a plan I could work with. My dog's foot healed beautifully. It took a while and lots of care for him on my part, but I was very grateful. I took my other dog to get some growths removed from his mouth, and again, a positive experience. I thought they did a good job and took very good care of him. Dr Edwards knows her stuff and I am so happy I found her!! I will be her loyal client with these dogs and any I have in the future. read more

We've been in the Raleigh area since 2003 and have seen several vets due to moving about the area. We've been going to Garner Animal Hospital since 2008 and couldn't be more pleased. Our dog has lumps and bumps (fatty tissue), and while other vets have suggested we removed them for cosmetic reasons, Garner Animal Hospital said it's just cosmetic so why remove them and waste money. That's more my style. He's a mutt, not a designer show dog. While Garner Animal Hospital might be low tech compared to other vets in the area, they are caring, listen to you, and treat your animal like their own. read more

I haven't always had pets but one of my misgivings was finding the right vet after I did. I have taken two cats here over the last three years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. Edwards is absolutely the nicest, most caring vet that could possibly exist. You can tell she truly loves her job and she is very good at it. She gives advice about everything you wouldn't even think to ask about. And all the other staff is wonderful as well. It's really as good as it gets. read more

I love my peeps at Garner Animal Hospital! They are very knowledge and caring. Have used them for 25-30 years!

Started going here a few years ago. In the years past I went to a diff vet in Garner. I've been very pleased with this office. It is a bit dated but they are nice people and prices are fair. read more

They just lost a potential client. I came here because of the great yelp reviews only to be turned away. Something could be seriously wrong with someone's cat but because it's 5 o'clock they won't see you. Thanks for nothing. read more

I have been to a lot of vets and even worked for a vet. This place is wonderful! Their old style vet care where they really listen to you and do not jump to $500 in tests immediately is appreciated. My dog goes here and they are so caring and gentle and explain everything. Their prices are wonderful. I brought my 17 year old cat here to be put to sleep from a chronic illness and they were so caring and gentle with me and my cat. They put me to ease about my decision and let me have time with her before and after. They are truly caring vets and staff. read more

I like the prices, but I really wish that Garner Animal Hospital took more time to emphasize customer service. I have gone there for several years and am always surprised that the staff, assistants and doctors never greet me by name and rarely look me in the eye. They simply just stare at/ pet my dog or start in on details of my appointment. Even when I am back in an exam room, the doctors and assistants don't greet me by name, they simply start with the exam. Why is it that some 'dog people' don't know how to interact with humans? One-on-one, I have found the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable enough, and when I press, I have often gotten the advice I needed for my pets. But I have never felt like they were glad to see me and have often considered changing providers. read more

Do not take your pet to Garner Animal Hospital and especially don't see Dr. Williams. I dropped off my 17 year old cat this morning. I had not fed her since 9:00 the previous night as instructed by the vet. My cat was not seen in the morning as promised. Dr. Williams took a 3 hour lunch, leaving my cat in the carrier, scared, hungry, and with no litter box. My daughter picked up our cat at 3:00 because she still had not been treated. Dr. Williams didn't apologize and was rude to my daughter. Do NOT take your pet to this vet! read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews for doctors or vets, because I think they often get blamed for events outside their control. I'll preface this review with saying that we had good interactions with Dr. Edwards (NOT Zobel, who we had terrible experiences with) in the four years since we moved to Garner. However, recent events dictate that we will not return, and we can't recommend this business to any other pet owners. Our otherwise healthy 10 YO cat had a cloudy eye and diminished appetite for a week before we took him in. Edwards checked him out and determined that it was uveitis. She gave him a steroid shot, which she said would stimulate his appetite, and we left with antibiotics and eye drops. Seems like a typical course of treatment, if indeed it was uveitis. Edwards diagnosed it as such with only a light test and no other measures. I assumed this was normal (until I talked with a few other vets in the week and a half that followed). His appetite was NOT stimulated. Two days on the antibiotic and kitty had stopped eating and started showing signs of pain. Edwards changed his antibiotic to a different one. I had great reservations about this change, because he seemed to be getting worse, not better, even with the course of treatment. I communicated my discomfort, and I was assured that it was common. We were told to bring him in for a follow up in a week. At this point, I should have listened to my kitty-mom instinct. Two days later, we're back in the vet's office, because he's very much not eating, not drinking, showing pain, and is lethargic. Edwards diagnoses it as pancreatitis (based on a blood sample). We're told that the cloudy eye and pancreatitis just happened to be coincidental. I mention (to the vet tech) that it seems unlikely (given all the signs that it's systemic) and maybe we should check for other things. I'm told, again, that the cloudy eye and pancreas inflammation happening at the same time are coincidental. We're instructed to leave him for three to four days, since it's over Thanksgiving and he needs fluids. We go to pick him up on Friday, they decide to keep him until Saturday, but we're told he's improving. We pick him up Saturday, with a note that he's been eating chicken baby food and drinking water and looking better. We were told to continue the antibiotic and call to follow up on Monday. When we get him home, he clearly is NOT better. He's barely able to move. He won't even look at his water dish. He's crying out in pain. By that time, the office is closed, so we call the ER vet who says that it might have been the stress from his visit, but if it gets worse we should bring him in immediately. He seems to want to rest, so we leave him alone. By Sunday morning, he's deteriorated even more. We rush him to the ER vet, where he is pronounced in shock and dies while they're trying to put in a feeding tube. The ER vet tells us that there was no sign of pancreatitis, based on a palpitation of his sides, but that he had a mass much lower down on his GI tract. She seemed surprised that no one ordered an ultrasound prior to that day. He had been suffering with multiple blood clots, one behind his eye, one in his GI tract, and one in his lungs. There wasn't anything we could do about the clots, even if we had found them in time, but it hurt to know that we had subjected our poor kitty to all of this unnecessary stress--pills, the time in the vet's care--when we could have made him comfortable at home. Here's the real kicker to the story, and perhaps it more infuriating than the missed diagnoses (which I understand happens): They released him to us on Saturday, telling us that he was getting better when he clearly wasn't. I'm not a vet, and I could tell that when we got him home. I wonder if they even looked at him. If they knew he was dying, they should have told us. If they missed the signs of pain and weakness that were obviously there, then they're terrible at their jobs. There's no good way around that one. They built up our hope that he was getting better, and then he died. Second: I called Monday after he died to tell the vet techs what happened so they could relay the message to Dr. Edwards. I would have assumed that, being a professional, she (or one of her reps) would have called us back, sent a card, something. But nothing. We called to let them know that a pet they released on Saturday morning died Sunday morning, and we've heard nothing. We called and left three messages with the receptionists, but nothing. I waited a week before posting to see if anyone would reach out to us from GAH, but no one did. Edwards does seem to try to keep the costs down, so I guess that's a good thing for a lot of people. She's friendly. I would say that, if you have to get lower-cost vet care for typical problems, this is a good facility (if you go with Edwards and NOT ZOBEL). If your pet needs something more involved, please get a second opinion or visit a different vet. read more

I took my kitten here and they stuck her approximately 10 times before getting the vein, while she screamed in pain. She was submissive and cooperative to begin with, but they just simply couldn't get it. The vet that saw her has no bedside manner and is extremely cold and aloof. I will not be bringing any of my animals back here. read more

13 Year resident of North Carolina and had dogs all of those years. Dr. Zobel combines caring with giving you sound well-balanced advice. The staff is always friendly and ready for you when you come in the door. They are also accomodating and seem to be able to fit you in for an appointment within several days of a phone call. I have moved to OH now and only hope I can find a vet as good. Also, prices are very reasonable. read more

Dr. Edwards and the staff at Garner Animal Hospital are fantastic. The doctor is kind and professional; the staff is friendly and welcoming. Their prices are so reasonable, but the care is top notch. I recommend them to everyone I know that has a pet. read more

Awesome! I have been looking for a new vet for the past few years and have had problem after problem, from vets wanting to muzzle my VERY sweet pit bull just for the simple fact that he's a pit, or them not giving me or transferring my prescription for heartworm medication when I didn't want to use the only kind they offered, etc. I've now taken both of my pitties to Garner Animal Hospital and just don't have enough good things to say about them. They're very accommodating in scheduling last minute appointments, then very friendly once you get there. Dr. Edwards is awesome. She's very friendly and great with my dogs! They're willing to give you cost-effective treatments and even cheaper alternatives with meds (as in recommending supplements for people, rather than charging you an arm and a leg for things labeled just for dogs, when they're the same thing). Basically they won't try to guilt you into paying for lab tests, blood work, etc, when whatever it is can be fixed with a $10 med. It's so refreshing to find a vet that talks to you straight about your furry kid rather than focusing on maximizing their profit. read more
