Dogs Owners

It's been 2 years since my dog passed away, but we used to use Gwinnett Animal Clinic in downtown Lawrenceville, and they were very reasonable to compared to others.

My dog does go to Banfield/Pet Smart. I have her on the puppy plan that I started right before I got her. I pay for very little and considering the 6 mo comprehensive well checks and the spay and such, I'm not disappointed with them.
They had one in my town but all the doctors left and it closed, so I have to drive to Macon now. It's worth it. We leave her there all day and if I have a need to be seen right away, we call on the way up so they know she's coming. They love having her and treat her very well.
I recommend that you call around to other vets and ask their prices of their shots and check ups, office visits, spay/neutering costs, etc. That way you will have a more informed idea.
Good luck

We go to 204 Animal Hospital out on 204 past hwy 17. They are great and not as expensive as Banfield. We used to go there.

I take my dogs to Banfield as well, but I have them enrolled in the Optimum Wellness plan which covers a lot of expenses. It is well worth having because you never know when you might need to take your dog in to be seen. It's kind of like dog insurance and even though I really can't afford the monthly payment, the coverage and peace of mind is well worth it.

I take my dog to Central Animal Hospital located on Bull Street near Victory Dr. They are excellent! They are slightly cheaper than Banfield (well, they were a few years ago when I switched), although most vets charge more than we'd like.

We use Dr Gross at Caremore Animal Clinic off of Furys Ferry Road for general checkups and emergency visits and treatment of our other pets (lizards, turtles, birds and guinea pigs). His office visits have remained very reasonable and he and the staff have a wonderful love of animals.
For annual shots we use CSRA Lifesavers in North Augusta. Shots for our lab mix were $35 last year which included the 3 year Rabies, distemper, and kennel cough. CSRA lifesavers has a website that lists prices.
HTH!

hi,
i always take mine to the vet, but i'm thinking about getting some pet insurance...and you should look into it...vip petinsurance.com...it covers vaccinations, well visits, etc...

What I recommend to my clients is to call around for pricing on some routine procedures such as... DHLPP Boosters, Rabies (does the vet only offer a 1 yr or do they offer a 3 yr.. a 3 yr is a better value), How much to neuter a 50 pound male dog, heartworm testing. By calling and getting pricing on these basic procedures you will get an idea about their overall pricing. Overall, a large & small animal vets (one that does horses and cows as well as dogs & cats) tend to be much, much less expensive and often provide the simplest care first (rest the dog) rather than shooting the dog full of steriods or ordering a CAT scan.

I work at Pet Vet in Cumming. They are a low cost spay/neuter clinic, we also do vaccines and minor sicknesses and illness. The prices are VERY resonable. We even have vets refer their clients to us due to our low cost. The doctors are wonderful, Dr. Land has been practicing for over 20 years and has spayed over 55,000 animals. She was even nominated for a Hero of the year award by animal planet.

Give us a call ###-###-#### we could give you some prices

I take my dogs to SANTA on Franklin Rd. in Marietta (right off of 75). The acronym stands for Spay and Neuter Team of Atlanta. They are a non-profit organization that I stumbled upon a few years ago, and now I take my dogs there for everything (and rarely use my local vet anymore). I believe the website is www.spay-neuterteam.com - and they do just about everything a private vet does at much cheaper prices.
