Preventive care

First visit to them and they had to tell me that my 16 year old Yorkie was in organ failure. Dr. Bragg was compassionate and took the decision out of our hands by letting me know that my girl was in pain and it wouldn't be fair to make her suffer. She gave her 2 shots that would last for 24 hours so that we could bring her home and say goodbye before bringing her back to be put to rest. The staff was so thoughtful and I truly appreciate them all.

Best vet around!!! 2 of my dogs were bitten by a copperhead snake around 8:15 pm on a Monday. Both of the babies had already started to swell. Dr. Harris met us at the office by 8:45 pm that night and was able to treat both of them and release them to go home by 9 am the following morning. Dr Harris even call personally to check on them on Wednesday to make sure the treatment had worked. So thankful for a wonderful and caring Vet's office.

The Best Vet's in Town in my opinion 🐶🦮🐾 Dr Brad has been with us when we have lost 2 of our previous Danes. He even mourned with us and THAT Is called humanity and heart as he has sat with us during both losses as he felt them both💔 OUR boys are somewhere playing at Rainbow Bridge as they live with us eternally 🩵🩵... OUR guy now is anti-social due to being born during the Pandemic yet we struggle to figure out if he's going to play nice during our Appts or if he's going to be as mischievous as ever as he always is. Today, proud to say they gave us his treatment plan for his Summer allergies and behaved! WE feel so blessed to have PEACE when we walk in the doors, caring Caretakers who know we're worried about him for never being left, so we wait, talk to Brad about his situation and ease just comes. I couldn't nor wouldn't be able to recommend ANYONE else but them to anyone who ask my opinion! CONGRATULATIONS to Dr Ben Garrett for trying to retire.🎉 Your Dad was always there with me as I grew up walking in your doors along with at least one of my parents who would always take care, listen and there's nothing better than feeling that HOME rest there with you ALL ❤️ God Bless you and your team for providing top rate care for our furry family members 🙏 💫 The Andersons and Stitchy 🐾🐾🤩 SERVING THE WIREGRASS AREA FOR OVER 78 YEAR'S 🎉🎈🙌

Dothan Animal Hospital doctors and staff understand the stress and concern when owners have to take their pets in for a procedure. Everyone we encountered was so kind, professional, and compassionate. We were treated with the highest, and most genuine respect and care. Every detail of the procedure was explained while we were also ensured that our pet would be highly nurtured while in their care.

The staff is very personable. I've been going here for years and they've been great both for my babies check ups and through some of my hardest times.
