My animals have been going here for years. They are friendly, and thorough. It helps that my animals trust the staff at AAH. As a rescue, my dog doesn't trust many people. He always gets a treat after his visit, and lots of love from the staff. The offices, lobby, and exam rooms are very clean and animal proof. They offer after hours emergency services for their clients (which is a major bonus!!!) Prices are very affordable. They really could get away with charging more. AAH will be my pets forever vet. Why change something that is so perfect? We love them. If you are thinking about taking your pet there, you will NOT regret it. Dr. Christiansn is the best!

Absolutely disgusting, my dog had a severe wound on his chest caused by an attack by a cat. They turned my grandmother away because they weren’t accepting new patients. I understand that but turning a hurt, wounded and scared animal away without even looking at him or making suggestions as to what to donor where to turn to is cruel, and any respectable veterinary practice would never turn down a helpless animal in need without providing at least some type of assistance. Absolutely disgraceful

I am giving 3 stars because I've only been there 1 time, and this would be the second time talking to someone in the office. I had 4 kittens that I had to bottle feed. Their mother died after giving birth. I had to break The sacks and take care of the placenta's because the mother was ill. I called Athens animal care hospital. And they assured me they could not take the kittens in for me that it was something I had to do on my own and that most of them would not make it. They were correct because only one survived. I did not have the help that I needed. They offered a free Container of Kitten milk powder but i had already bought one ,from tracktor supplies. It went so quickly that I needed more. I went down to the office. And apparently, they had changed their mind about it being free because they charged me 21$ for a small can. I told her whoever I talked to told me I could have 1 can for free, seems how i'm taking care of the kittens and they weren't able to help me.... Yet I was in a hurry on my way to work so I bought the can. The reason I'm posting this is because it is a animal hospital, and animal hospitals should care more about the animals, then soaking money out of people for animal food. I believe buying animal food from an animal hospital should cost less than if I were to go to Walmart. Or tractor supply. Also How can I trust that animal hospital now? If they told me "the can was on the house", And then when I go there and explain that, instead of finding the person who told me that, instead, asked me to pay the twenty one dollars..

Over the weekend, I called the animal hospital regarding an after hours emergency. I explained to the vet on call that my dog had been puking a little bit for the past week but for the last day had been severe and he just passed a large amount of blood included a very large clot through his butt. The vet instructed me to give him water for the next 24 hours and then give him a blend diet for a day or two before returning him his food. She said this is common with an upset stomach and stated he would be fine. I explained my concern and she still would not agree to see him. About two hours went by and then it was over. My poor Zeus passed away. He could’ve still been here if she would’ve been able to take time away from what she were doing And do her job. She just left her home empty and broken with three kids as well as myself wondering why and mad at the world. Never in 1 million years, would I recommend them to anyone
