can’t speak to good value because I haven’t been to a vet in so long but in just one visit he has quite literally changed my life and more importantly the life of my dog/teacup Yorky. She has had unrelenting stomach problems for 10 years and despite repeated visits to her prior vet and my feeding her every 4 to 6 hours so her stomach doesn’t get empty which always caused her to throw up… It’s just been 10 Years of standing on my head to make sure she gets food! And she’s skinny healthy but skinny and rarely could just chop down a good meal like a dog usually would do . Dr Smith? immediately knew that it was IBS and not just acid reflux. I have had to cook special food for my dog for months and feed her every two hours around the clock and I have this new food she’s already eating and her stomach is great as she is just chopping it down at every meal. He was passionate extremely intelligent very well spoken explained everything to whatever extent you needed, every detail. You can tell he’s a very caring very intelligent and truly loves animals and everything he does! As it seems to be with truly great doctors/veterinarians his staff is just fantastic. They went out of their way even chasing me down in the parking lot to show me a product I need to find. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had in years and I am completely so thankful! I will post again in a month or two as time goes on with my dog. Some of us see our animals as almost children and they can be so stressful on us when they are having a hard time especially spitting up foam every day and not wanting to eat. That’s almost the opposite of what any dog should do and this poor little dog has had to endure 10 years of this which is unimaginable! So thank you Dr Smith? and the five women that were there helping him today. Wonderful people More...

I moved to Atlanta with my Greyhound in 2018. CAC was recommended to me by a new friend who was a long-time experienced dog owner and I took his advice. From the first appointment, I was impressed by both veterinarians and their terrific staff, all of whom are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My dog is aging, I have had many vet visits since arrival and every time I have left the clinic feeling confident that he has received excellent care. He is doing fine and I highly recommend Chattahoochee Animal Clinic to any dog owner. More...

Me and my pup have been going to Chattahoochee Animal Clinic (CAC) for about six months. I discovered them via two friends who each independently recommended them (one for a dog, and one for a cat). Thus far I’m impressed with the level of care and the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. They actually respond to emails for routine questions, thereby saving me a phone call—much appreciated! Most of my experience there has been with Dr. Dawkins, for both routine care, as well as unfortunately for an emergency incident. Dr. Dawkins takes the time to explain my pup’s health, and in the case of the emergency, took the time to personally call me back with her recommendation to bring my pup in. I’d definitely recommend CAC to others. And, as an added bonus, their messages on the marquee are amazing, and will make you smile every time! More...

I just moved back to Roswell and needed a vet. My parents go to this clinic and said they are great, so I decided to give it a try since they are right around the corner. The place is clean and staff was really great. I saw Dr. Smith and he did a detailed exam on my dog and welcomed me back to Roswell. He told me that I could email him anytime with questions about my dog, which in incredibly convenient with my type of schedule.

First visit to this clinic last week. We just moved, so I am in a constant game of catchup here. The transition to a new vet was a dread of mine along with the moving process. The front staff made it easy on my to get my records transferred over and making an appointment was a breeze. Dr. Smith and his staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating (me, 2 dogs, and 2 young kids). My kids were distracted with toys they gave them to play with, so I could concentrate on my visit with the Dr. Smith. He checked them over thoroughly and made sure I had all my questions answered. A+ on making us comfortable and at least making this an easier part of our adjustment to Georgia life. More...

Came to this clinic for a second opinion on my 12 year old lab for a mass that was "not removable". Dr. Smith took a look at him and then spoke with me about the options. He gave several options for doing the procedure and the pros-cons of each option. He was upfront and honest with all the options and spent a great deal of time with me. Dr Smith is a busy guy, so I appreciated that. We ended up doing the procedure and it went very well with no surprises. Definitely recommend this staff and doc. More...

What an amazing place! We have sampled just about all their services at this point. I called them about a week ago as I noticed a discharge coming out of my puppy's eye. They were able to fit me in with an hour. I took her over and they did such an awesome job. The vet, Dr. Smith, spent a great deal of time explaining everything, including some of the routine vaccines she needed and why. After that the tech came back in and she was just as diligent explaining what I needed to do. While I was there, I noticed they also groomed and boarded. As we were having our floors redone the next week, I made reservations to bring her back. I was a little worried when I went to pick my puppy up that she would be a nervous wreck. She was so happy! She didn't want to leave, but once she did, she was in a great mood. This makes me think that they treated her exceptionally well, because my Bouvie is a bundle of nerves. She had the looks to match her great mood. This was her first grooming and they were very candid about how much they might be able to do based on what she would put up with. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job! I don't often write novels for my reviews, but this place is so worth it. More...

I trust them 100%. You can tell they take pride in their work and enjoy doing it. I am so thankful I found this clinic, and especially at such a critical time for my pet.

I cannot recommend this place enough. The doctors and staff here truly care about our pets. We came to them in a time of need when caring for our newborn orphaned puppy Dante. We were scared and confused about what to do as he had a very rocky start to life. Dr. Dawkins spoke with us on our first visit. After seeing our puppy, she helped us calm down and become more confident in our ability to care for him. She has been in constant contact with us via email and telephone. She responds to every question in a timely manner even when she is not working. We absolutely love this place. We tried multiple other places before coming to this clinic that gave us different advise at each place, however our puppies condition didn't seem to improve. Since seeing both Dr. Dawkins and Dr. Smith our puppy is stronger than ever. The office staff is fantastic as well. They are all very nice and call occasionally to check on our pup. If you are on the fence about picking a clinic for your pets, I can tell you that you will find no better care than you will here. They have reasonable pricing as well.

We absolutely love and recommend CAC. You won't find more compassionate and loving doctors than Dr. Dawkins and Dr. Smith, I can promise you that. You can see their love for animals in every move they make. I felt good about this place since the first moment I stepped into this clinic with an orphaned newborn puppy that had a difficult start to his life. Front desk and the staff were really welcoming and nice. My husband and I were very upset and worried for our little puppy Dante, new member of our family. Dr Dawkins helped us relax and gave us clear instructions on how to give the best care for him and help him grow and be happy. Not only she helped our puppy, but had a meaningful and open conversation with us on what to except and how to stay emotionally and mentally well so we can provide the best care to our pup. We appreciate that so much and love her for the approach she continues to have towards us. She responded to every email and call, even on Saturday late at night when we had an emergency and we were scared for our pup. We also saw Dr. Smith one time when Dr. D was off that day. He is an amazing vet! We only have the best words for him too. I'm glad all pieces came together and we decided to visit this clinic in the first place. We think that was the best decision we made for our pets (and us). Our puppy is doing really well now and we will continue to see Dr. D regularly.

Can I just say I LOVE Chattahoochee Animal Clinic!!!! It’s 9:30pm and Dr Smith is calling me to go over Charlie’s details and check on him! !! Every single time I have had to go there, even when Charlie was my Foster, they go out of their way to be there for my dog and me. When Charlie was hit by a car, they calmed my husband and went out of their way to help him through the horrible event. When I take Charlie in, all the techs know him by name and smother him with love. I am completely in awe of the level of commitment and support they offer. I’m so happy this was an Angels approved Vet and we were able to find them. Just had to brag for a moment!! Been a long 5 months since we first opened our doors to Charlie, and we spent many weeks at this vet’s door. If you’re looking for a vet, don’t question, just go.

Q&As

Helping the pets in need. We work closely with many rescue organizations. There is nothing better than helping an abused animal that comes into our clinic afraid, hurt and need medical assistance and have them leave giving kisses, wagging their tail and healthy. The fulfillment we feel that we have helped a pet that could of not had a chance is amazing! We all need a second chance!

There is plenty of competition out there.
The one thing that we continuously makes us stand out from the rest is the level of care and compassion we have for our patients and their pet parents. We are always here for the community, whether it is just as simple as taking in a walk-in to raising money for a cause we believe in.
Our doors are open to everyone, even beyond our working hours. We strive to be "the place" where you will not be turned away. We are open M-F 8-6p and Sat 8-1p.

Services

We offer preventative care for cats, dogs and pocket pets. We customize care based on breed, age, environmental risks and recommendations made by veterinarian. Everything from immunizations to parasite prevention is covered within preventative care.

The combination of experience between Dr Smith, who was in emergency medicine for years before he bought the practice and Dr Dawkins years of experience in general practice, plus the years of experience that our talented veterinary technicians have we more than able to help even the most difficult veterinary case. We strive to provide the best and most resent techniques and diagnostics available.
With our in-house diagnostics; radiology, ultrasound, laboratory and surgical capabilities there is little we cannot do.

Our amazing sweet and professional groomer, Brandy is a gem ! She is gentle and her fear free techniques has won over even the most fearful of pups. She manages to gain their trust and grooming turns from a scary procedure to a relaxing spa day. She is worth the try!

Our facility is a veterinary supervised, climate controlled and customized experience. Our facility can only house about 40 guests, which means each individual gets one on one care by our amazingly caring and gentle animal care technicians. Our guests get to play outside 3 times a day, get warm and comfy beds, sanitized bowls and customized care. We offer extra playtime as well, where we spend even more one on one time with our guests to make them feel comfortable and loved.

We offer two kinds of bathing experiences. One is the "Works" bath. This includes a shampoo massage, ear cleaning, nail trimming, brush and blow out, bandanna and cologne. The second option is a "Clean Up" bath, this is recommended for the short haired dog that really just needs a good shampoo. It includes a shampoo massage, ear cleaning and a towel dry.
