Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

We did a tour through this place expecting a dog boarding area as nice as we've used in the past. When we left, I started to cry. How could anyone leave their dogs in a cage in a building on cement for 24 hours at a time? Their "dog run" for dogs to stretch their legs (15 min 2x a day) was hot sand and rocks about 20x15. Not for my babies. They get two stars for the wonderful lady who gave us a tour.

The girl at the desk was so kind but I will not take my dogs back here again. They smelled like they had been sitting in their urine all week, the floor was wet and they seemed so anxious when I picked them up. I felt terrible that they were here for a week under those conditions. It was $600 for the week.

They were wonderful. We were able to get them vaccinated and groomed during their stay for a week. Thank you for your great service! God bless!

I'm very particular when it comes to my dogs and my experience at the Pet Lodge was excellent. I was between a rock and a hard place, I had less than 3 weeks to find a place for them to stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. When I called they encouraged me to come visit the facilities before putting down my deposit, (deposits are required for holidays). I stopped by the following weekend, didn't make an appointment or call ahead because, again, I'm particular and incredibly protective when it comes to my pups. I was given a full tour and shown the differences between the different types of kennels available. I went with the Garden Room because it was in the main office and quieter than the more traditional kennels they had. My tour brought my anxiety level down from a 12 to about a 4. The woman that answers the phone was incredibly helpful with helping me get my vet records. I was having trouble getting them from my vet due to my work schedule so she called and got them for me. When I dropped the dogs off, they were incredibly patient and thorough with documenting items I brought with them, their feeding schedule and meds. The reviews I read for grooming weren't the greatest, but I was feeling really positive about the Pet Lodge so I went ahead and booked a grooming for my Maltese-Pug mix, Gator. When I picked them up I was very pleased. Gator looked great. This is probably his best cut since we moved to GA. Neither of my dogs seemed stressed, and it doesn't take much to stress them out. My Kelpie mix, Hobo, has severe separation anxiety so he is my litmus test on how they were treated. The other way I could tell they were cared for was that the bedding I dropped off didn't have a drop of pee on it, so I know they were taken out regularly. I am so grateful that I found the Pet Lodge because I can go out of town and worry less about my dogs.

I have used their puppy day care and boarding. Prices are extremely reasonable, staff is beyond amazing. Daisy begs to go and she gets so happy when we pull in to see some of her favorite humans. She is always happy to go. Thank you for being so amazing and welcoming!!
