Easter Sunday afternoon my sister Sherrie and myself took her sweet dog Lola to North GA Veterinary…read moreSpecialist. The facility was clean and we found everyone friendly. Lola was clearly in distress and wasn't breathing well. After the vet saw her X-rays it was determined that Lola had fluid in her lungs due to tumors in and around her lung. Every single person we encounter at North GA was professional and kind. We decided that it was best for Lola to put her to sleep. When the time came we held Lola while the vet gave her the shots. I wish I could remember the vets name as she was so patient and sweet to us and Lola. I would highly recommend North GA Veterinary Specialist.

They cannot be trusted to deliver proper care and antibiotics to an acute UTI in a cat. They…read morecharged me $2000 twice when my cat was in critical condition and only gave her antibiotics when I demanded them the first time which worked. The second time they only gave her a saline IV for 48 hours and her vet gave her the antibiotic which saved her life. I've spent about $6000 there over 3 visits in less than 2 years. It is criminal what they charge for minimal treatment and some of the nurses treat you like you are crazy. One nurse looked at me in a very threatening way. The other receptionists delayed her treatment and were so pedantic. condescending and neglectful. I will never go back there and wouldn't recommend this clinic to anyone who loves their pet. I spoke to a manager and she confirmed that they would not have given her an antibiotic for a UTI. They have no idea what they are doing and are robbing people of their money. It is sickening and they should lose their license to practice.

To my delight I came across Thrive just 10 mins away from me. My babe Scooby got an appointment same day... he got a check up & a rabies VAX which totaled about $99 as opposed to the 1st place I visited that was going to charge $300. STAFF are exceptional!! I met Vet Tech Shawn & another Fine woman! They were very pleasant, respectful & very welcoming and Dr. Free-Brito is PHENOMENAL she listened to my concerns, didn't try to push a different agenda and gave exceptional care to Scooby & made sure I was caught up on latest information when caring for him going forward. I'm so glad I have a vet & staff I can count on! THANK YOU THRIVE BUFORD, GA

Dropped off my baby for a simple haircut @11am, they did ask me how i wanted the haircut and i…read moreexplained she needed to be completely shaved off, she's super hairy. A LITTLE Pom Pom on the tail and very low on the legs. Well, if you look at the pictures, she didn't even get touched on the legs nor the head. Although i said leave a little, they didn't even touch those areas. I signed off a pre-estimate for $112 then they called my mom to say she needed this & she needed that bc they couldn't do the cut. Ok cool, didn't even mention how much, whatever. Then i pick her up AT 5PM, somehow they needed 6 HOURS to take care of a tiny cat, I've never in her 2yrs getting haircuts have to put her to sleep. Now my baby is wobbly around for the next 12hrs with a FUCKED UP haircut for $289, idc about spending on my baby but WTF, this was INSANE. On top of that, NO BATH. She came out as dirty and hairy and she went in. I'm extremely frustrated & disappointed. Very lovely staff but the prices are unfair.

Lanier Animal Hospital treats patients like their own pets. It's understood that every animal is…read moredifferent and that the treatment and care needs to be individualized for each pet. Having a multi pet household myself it can be very stressful when unexpected situations arise yet Lanier has been with me every step of the way to help facilitate our needs. Bonus points for having boarding and grooming services for when we need to go out of town unexpectedly.

They do not perform surgeries at this office so they gave us some recs (our normal vet is closed on Thursdays) so we brought her first thing the next morning to animal hospital of north Gwinnett! Turns out vet David thought she would be able to pass the item instead of surgery. So nugget stayed with them under observation for the day. It was so obvious everyone cared for nugget as their own! Everyone was so kind and caring! Wish we were closer! Also not a price gouging office! I felt like the quote for the surgery and what our bill ended up being were both fair prices for the services! I cannot recommend enough! Thank you to the whole team here for taking care of our sweet girl!

My wife & have lived in Sugar Hill since 1997 & Dr Wit, Dr Crossett & their amazing staff have…read morecared for 3 different dogs for us - 2 Labs and one American Coonhound mix. Their compassion & expertise is unmatched. Our 2 Labs lived to be 12 & 13 years old. Unfortunately, 2 weeks ago some digestive symptoms led to the discovery of lymphoma in our Coonhound. Dr Wit was honest with us & told us that, other than chemo which would be torture for our girl (& yield little results) there wasn't t much that could be done. He left the decision to us, but we knew what had to be done. The compassion shown us through that process couldn't have been more generous had it been their own dog that was ill. The vet tech who had worked with our girl & knew her well (& was loved by our dog!) assisted & clearly shared our heartbreak. Beyond medical care, boarding & grooming are top notch. Our in-laws also have put their dogs' care in their hands and have the same respect for this group of folks as we do. I'd recommend them to anyone in need of care for your animals - they're awesome folks.

I cannot recommend this clinic based on my experience. From my perspective, this felt like a…read moremoney-making practice rather than patient care. I brought in a stool sample after personally seeing worms in my dog's stool and paid $60 for a fecal examination. The clinic reported that no parasites were found, which directly contradicted what I observed in the sample I submitted. Instead of addressing this discrepancy, I was told I would have to pay for another office visit before my dog could receive any treatment. Paying for a test that produced results I cannot reconcile with what I witnessed, and then being asked to pay again, was extremely disappointing. I have requested the laboratory report and a review of my case. If this matter is not resolved satisfactorily, I will file a complaint with the Georgia State Board of Veterinary Medicine

Took my cat for an exam and nail trimming, was told that my cat MIGHT have an allergy to fleas. I…read moreasked again about what he had at the desk and the receptionist was kind enough to double check, but the 'doctor' came out and reitirated the same non-answer. So I paid $60 for an exam to get a superficial answer, then was almost definitely upcharged on the shots and the medicine. Also, no one introduced themselves. At least I don't think; genuinely hard to tell because out of the three people that came in, the two talking to me blabber at speeds that would put even the most insufferable salesperson to shame. the third person that came in and took my cat did exactly that. She took my cat, didn't acknowledge or say anything to me, held him incorrectly (with his legs dangling wtf?) and had dropped him off just as abruptly. They also insulted my cat and accused him of being grouchy (or something to that extent) and told the assistant to "watch out for him". TLDR; super impersonable staff, upcharges on service and medications, and unhelpful results Bring your pet here if you hate animals. ⁠⁠
