I'm very torn. I carefully chose them when I adopted my rescue mix. The first visit with Dr…read more Bassett was really good. He seemed fun and interested in my dog. The next visit I'm not sure who I saw. They took her back to get a fecal. I told them that I could have brought a stool sample. I could hear her screaming. Apparently, they stuck some kind of bubble wand up there trying to get something. I didn't like that but I didn't say anything. What's really been on my mind is my last yearly visit. Normally I like mornings, but I agreed to a 2 o'clock appointment. I got there at 1:30 and the front desk said we're early. No hello, how are you, hello Dolly. Just 'we're early'. I misjudged how long it would take me to get there from Cumming. I always get to appointments a little early, like 15 or so. I figured I'd get right in after lunch and get out quick. Dr. Bassett did come out looking for somebody while I was in the front so I saw him there. So at 1:50 a woman walked in with her dog and was taken right back. I was a little frustrated, but thought maybe she's seeing someone else. At 2:10 I was finally put in a room. The tech came in shortly after said so we're here for a yearly exam. I'm sorry I just don't get it. I know why I am there. I said I had been waiting for a while. She said well the doctor is doing return phone calls. She was not nice about it either. Why have a 2 o'clock appointment then? If you're calling people with sick dogs, or some kind of post treatment question that could take some time. To make matters even worse I could hear them back there talking about me and then came in at 2:20. He said something about I was told you were frustrated. I said yeah, I was. I'm sorry, but it's customer service 101. I'm there in the office waiting. Make your phone calls after. The icing on the cake was he was giving her all of her shots in her hip, and she has very skinny little bony hips and on the third one she yelped. I feel like dogs I've had in the past and even with this dog, their shots were given in the scruff of the neck. I don't think I'm imagining that. When she screamed, they looked at each other like what's going on here. He said I should go get some kind of joint medicine to give to her for life! It's expensive. Chondroitin? She's not in any joint pain. She doesn't limp. She doesn't have any joint problems. I went in, not too long after that to get her Simperica trio and the tech that was in the room that day was coming in from I don't know where lunch or maybe to start her day and she gave me a dirty look in the parking lot. I hadn't done anything wrong. I show up on time, well early actually, and I ask why I'm having to wait so long when I had seen the doctor there and I'm a problem? It's also very frustrating when they googoo gaga on other dogs and don't even acknowledge my dogs existence. My dog is so sweet. She loves girls and there are a lot of them up there. I just don't know if I will continue going there. It's really hard to find somebody too, so it's upsetting

On October 10th, (my 2nd visit with Foothills) I took my 20 year old, 6 pound female cat for a weekly fluid infusion. My cat had been receiving weekly fluid infusions for over 7 months with NO issues. When the tech took my cat back, my cat was fine and quiet. 15 minutes later the tech brought her back and my cat was very distressed; spitting, hissing and growling; In over 20 years of taking my cat to a vet she has never exhibited this type of behavior. I asked the receptionist if I could talk with the vet. All Dr.Habermann would say was that my cat bit one of the technicians, and that my cat was upset because he had to muzzle her. No other explanations of the situation. In over 20 years my cat has NEVER bitten any technician or Vet much less exhibited distressed behavior. I will never visit this clinic again.

Today my husband stopped by Dawsonville Veterinary Hospital to get flea & tick tabs for our 6 dogs…read more Maggie who works the front desk refused to sell him these tabs since four of the dogs were past due on their rabies shot as of November 2019. These are totally "inside" dogs. The fact that they were "overdue" by 5-6 month time period that included Christmas & the Covid Virus crap should have provided some leniency, along with the number of years our dogs have being treated by them for "shots & all health checks". Dawsonville Veterinary Hospital has taken care of our animals for at least six or seven years. Our dogs have maintained their shots over those years mainly rabies. I have always taken my rescue dogs to this clinic. At one time I had 13 dogs to place in homes which had to have health checks etc. Needless to say a lot of money has been spent over the years supporting DVH and their "hometown" services. Goes to show you how much they really appreciate their clients and those people who try hard to take care of their pets even in these trying times. Guess I will look for better service.

Someday he would have two or three, then may skip a couple of weeks. That clinic was of little or no help after the problem started. Dawson Forrest's vet immediately prescribed two medications that actually worked and our pup hasn't had a seizure in a year. The vet takes time to explain the pet's issue in a way that is very understandable. He takes time to properly diagnose, treat, and instruct on how to protect your pet. In my opinion, you cannot find a better veterinarian!

We had an emergency with one of our pets and I searched for a vet that could make an emergency visit for our Highland Cow. I called probably 12/15 clinics and finally found them.

We have continued to work with him since then. Thanks for always making our pets a priority. Heather Hill

We found her in the neighbor's yard one afternoon when we came home from work, she couldn't make it home on her own. She seemed as if she had had a stroke. We nursed her through the night and in the morning, and with sad hearts, decided it was time. We didn't want her to suffer further. My wife called "All Animals", which is the vet nearest to our home, to try and make arrangements (we didn't want her to have to travel very far in her condition). She was told that since Esther was not seen by them regularly and they had no vet records for her that they would not help us. Esther used to go to the ASPCA vet in Dahlonega which has since closed. We had tried to take Esther to "All Animals" twice before only to be told that they could not see her because she was not in their records. My wife asked to speak to a manager who berated and actually yelled at her for questioning this practice. This was totally rude and uncalled for, especially for someone who had just lost their companion of nearly 20 years. We called Hemlock Animal Hospital in Dahlonega and, not only were they willing to help, but they were also very kind and gracious to us. R.I.P Esther.

She refused to eat and the next day I took her to the vet for bloody discharge. They found a cyst and prescribed antibiotics. Two days later, I kept having this nagging feeling that something wasn't right. So I took her to my personal vet who did blood work and discovered she had a life threatening infection that required hospitalization. I opted not to put her in the hospital and brought her home with me, along with her prescription food, her NEW course of antibiotics and her probiotics. For the last two weeks, Elli has been on two different antibiotics and I've been praying for her to pull through. Luckily for me, she made a full recovery and DCHS refuses to take any responsibility for adopting out a sick dog or to reimburse the $1000s I've spent on medical care. Buyer beware of pets here.

I have worked with a couple of non-profit animal adoption organizations, and as long as the elderly or disabled person has a backup option, they will adopt to them. Thankfully, another agency actually worked with us, and we adopted the cutest, sweetest little dog ever.
