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!

We are full time residents in Young Harris now and we will use him for our 3 dogs, German Shepherd, A Chowski, Husky-Chow mix and our older Terrier .
