TAIL WAGGIN’ TESTIMONIALS

  • "Great place! Dr. Hopkins was great! They did a great job getting us in and took the time to explain everything very well. Thank you!

    — KWJ

  • "They treat our cat like a rockstar every time she walks in and I could not be happier with her care. Our cat suffers from a chronic lung condition, so she has become very familiar with the staff. Cannot imagine taking her anywhere else anymore. Highly recommend."

    — Michael A.

  • "They were absolutely wonderful, I totally felt supported here. They have went above and beyond with taking care of my cat's tooth and tried to help me with finding ways to help alleviate costs. They are highly affordable. 10/10."

    — Conor E.

  • "They take such good care of their patients and owners, and have the best staff. I've had to call multiple times for my cats to get an appointment urgently and they always find a way to fit me in as soon as they can. They are also reasonably priced which is hard to find in Athens!"

    — Andrea C.

  • "The kindness, professionalism, and respect shown by this veterinary staff for my pets has been nothing short of extraordinary."

  • "We recently had our dog spayed at South Athens and the staff was incredible. They took the time to answer all of our questions, walked us through the recovery process, and walked us out to our car with an umbrella in the rain. We're happy to call this our vet."

    — Shawn F.

  • "The staff is super friendly, gives lots of love, and is really helpful. Dr. Hopkins & Dr. Singh have been great for us. Especially since Maeve is so high energy. I would definitely recommend this clinic for anyone looking for the right vet."

    — Christopher M.

  • "I've been going here with my animals for about 15 years. Recently Dr. Mosher retired but the two doctors that took over are equally good and I expect to keep going here for years to come."

    — Justin H.

    — J Mo.

  • "I can’t say enough good things about the staff. They took my baby girl at the last minute with no appointment for a horrible ear infection and hotspot. She was so miserable but they did everything they could to treat her quickly and comfortably."

    — Lauren H.

  • "This is a great place to bring your pet. Very caring service and spend plenty of time with you and your pet in a visit. Reasonable rate for visits and is not pushy on any additional services."

    — Bart L.

  • "I recently had to have dental surgery/cleaning on my cat. I am beyond grateful to have chosen South Athens Animal Clinic for various reasons. During her procedure, Dr. Singh took the time to relay information of what is suggested to be performed while my cat was in surgery. They truly care about being transparent on what needs to proceed while taking the time to contact the patient's owner."
