How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Dogwood Animal Hospital

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.

Ever since my first experience when I had Toro’s ears cropped at Dogwood, each visit has been a pleasure. I love how the tech’s handle my pup. I have a 7 month, 116 pound Cane Corso that can be a hand full with strangers. Each tech that has taken him without my assistance (or pinch collar) are gentle, patient and love on my boy as if he were theirs. The only negative I have is that, my baby never wants to leave and fights me to get back to his friends. :-) I travel an hour from McDonough, GA because my big boy loves everyone he meets from Dogwood. I’m never concerned with his care and know he’s in great hands. I appreciate how they make every effort to keep dogs away from each other when they have a full day of appointments. Understand, things happen and this vet is extremely popular and in high demand because of our comments, praises and how we value them. As they are patient with our fur babies, we need to extend the same courtesy. For me personally, I don’t mind waiting a bit longer if they are running behind. They see more dogs in a day than I can even imagine, which all have to be accommodated by the time they close, and I know they aren’t taking breaks as they should! Just know, when your baby is being seen by any of the doctors or tech’s, they aren’t rushing to get them out and they spend the time needed to ensure your baby is cared for. We are loyal customers and they will forever be our #1VET.

Dogwood is an amazing clinic for any pet! They are extremely friendly and professional. I never doubted their integrity for one moment. They were honest upfront and I enjoyed the environment of other owners interacting with us. Everyone seemed to know each other and that was an amazing feeling. My visit with them was to get my puppies ears done, cane corso style!!! I was extremely impressed by the process and care afterwards. They did a great job with the surgery and managing the discomfort with the proper medication and care. They followed up more than expected and created an open door for emergencies or even to retape the ears!! Thank you Dogwood for such an amazing experience!!

I love this place. I took my dog to another vet previously which almost killed her because of negligence. Thanks to Dogwood Animal Hospital, They saved my dog’s life. I bring both my dogs here because the service, attention to the owners and pets is above and beyond. They are truly the best in town.
