I had to bring my pregnant Pembroke corgi in to saves august 12, 2023 as she had been in labor a VERY long time. I called on the way up there and they immediately had a room ready for us and took such incredible care of my girl. Due to the vet and techs we had two healthy happy puppies and most importantly I left with a happy healthy mama! I can never thank them enough !

My dachshund was attacked by two deer in our front yard. I immediately took him to SAVES. He was taken from me immediately walking through the door. South Atlanta Veterinary emergency specialist saved my dog. I can't thank them enough for the compassion for me as well. He is on the mend and doing better because of the care he received from them. The doctors are compassionate and informative. I would highly recommend SAVES to any pet owner.

Everyone were so friendly and caring. It was my first time taking my cat to SAVES. My cat was transferred from a hospital to SAVES on the weekend for overnight hospitalization. All the staff and doctors explained very well and in detail about the price and what she needed. They were very professional and caring. I dropped off my cat for overnight hospitalization and called to check on my cat day and night. They answered my call very quickly. The doctors explained very well and that she was improving and was doing well. The morning I went to pick her up, they told me in detail their suggestion moving forward. I took my cat to our local vet for extended hospitalization since she still needed to be hospitalized for more fluids. She is currently recovering, eating, and drinking well. Hopefully she won't get sick again! I really appreciate everyone at SAVES and thank you so much for everything.

Honest review: The side of my cat’s face was swollen. I was panicked. I called another Animal emergency hospital and they ignored/hung up on me. TWICE. I called SAVES, they were understanding, I told them what is happening and they said they can take emergency walk ins. I was relieved. I signed in no trouble. As expected with walk-in there was wait, but they said if any thing changes with my cat to let them know. They brought my baby boy back, examined and walked me through what they’ll be doing. They said I can go out and get something to eat and they’ll call if anything comes up, changes, or when he was finished. I stayed because he is my sweet kitty child (lol). They gave me updates here and there. When they were done, they gave me medication for him, forwarded his medical record to his vet. I’m grateful that they picked up and helped my sweet boy. He had an abscess, but still he is my beloved baby. Better safe than sorry. People should expect a high price though.
