Vca Buckhead Animal Hospital
Atlanta, Georgia
General Info
VCA Buckhead Animal Hospital in Atlanta arranges veterinary services through a network of physical and emotional distances which align each medical procedure to pet body language signals while mapping recovery zones across Georgia. Every session starts with understanding spatial boundaries by observing pets' initial reactions to the environment, including zones they shun and their pace adjustments. Upon initiating interaction the clinic team examines body-system cues starting with fur density and external touch tolerance before progressing to assessments of oral health, joint range, and abdominal flexibility. Equal importance is given to owner observations including recent stalling before stairs combined with changes in sleep positions and object guarding behaviors along with shifts in interaction timing with household members. VCA Buckhead Animal Hospital offers medical mapping services which encompass orthopedic planning alongside cardiovascular listening and hydration tracking as well as dermatological checks with immune calibration and energy-rest cycles. Medical procedures are structured to allow recovery periods where even short diagnostic steps may be divided to avoid cumulative stress. The animal’s reactions to various thresholds dictate adjustments in noise levels, scent layering, and personnel proximity. Post-care recommendations depend on specific behavioral markers such as the duration a pet needs to return to its baseline state along with where it seeks refuge in the house and how its social interactions either resume or stall. Ongoing support manifests through detailed visual touchpoint documentation coupled with optional sensory behavior analyses. VCA Buckhead Animal Hospital serves Atlanta and nearby Georgia areas by treating each pet visit as a movement-based journey where they interpret the pet’s signals at every check-in point, room transition, posture change, and pause.

Love Dr Krohne, Keith, Amanda, & Sue. They take the best car of my furbaby, Grantley. Dr Krohne does his teeth cleaning & mass tumor removal so he only has to go under once, being n old man dog & my baby, whish is very important to me. She's a Very Amazing Vet. I know Vets don't always get the recognition they deserve. She definitely deserves it though, she's honest, caring, thorough, fun, and an all around wonderful person! And the front desk Keith, Amanda, & Sue are all just the sweetest people too. They always remember me & G and make us feel welcome every time we're there. Thank you guys!!!

This vet is just after your money - you will never spend less than $300 per visit. I brought him in during a bad case of kennel cough - they gave him a 10 second examination, prescribed cough suppressants, and charged me $300. I brought him in after he had gotten into some gum, they charged $500 to give him hydrogen peroxide to make him puke it up. And they wanted to charge another ~$500 on top of that to provide him with charcoal and other preventative measures, which I refused. STAY AWAY - much cheaper options are available.

I evacuated from Florida for Hurricane Irma, but my fur-child wasn't able to stay with me in Atlanta. VCA Buckhead Animal Hospital was referred to me by another boarding facility. They went out of their way to assure me that my sweet fur-child was safe and well taken care of during his stay there. They were flexible on my arrival/departure due to my circumstance, and they were able to accommodate his special needs as being an "only dog", dog. The entire staff and Veterinarian I spoke to over the phone and those I met, during my ordeal were beyond nice and extremely helpful. Thank you, VCA Buckhead! You made my crazy evacuating adventure less stressful. I gladly recommend VCA BuckHead Animal Hospital to anyone looking for a great Veterinarian and/or boarding facility in Atlanta!

I initially took my dog in for a suspected ear infection and decided on this option as I can walk to the office from my house. Dr. Jen was great and quickly confirmed my suspensions. Later that day, my dog started to experience diarrhea; therefore I took him right back in just for them to spend a few minutes with him saying it was stress related. After suggesting a $200 care plan and 3 minute consultation, I was not pleased on visit number 2. Perhaps my standards are high, as I myself work in healthcare and my prior vet in Peachtree City takes more time and is more cost effective. Two days following, a text message is received to check on my dog. I replied that he did not improve and his diarrhea had progressed; however, there was no response. Thankfully, I was able to make a trip back to his original vet in Peachtree City who quickly diagnosed the problem, the care plan was half of the cost, AND they followed up with a call the night after. In other words, this place isn't terrible, but there are much more cost effective options that have higher standards of care.

The vet care at this facility is good. That is not the problem. I took in my dog who had a belly ache. They suggested that we should x-ray him and gave me an estimate for $325 to which I agreed. The x-ray was clear. They said that they would give him some fluids and some anti-nausea medicine. When I checked out, my bill was $480.25. I was never informed or consulted about the extra $150. When I spoke to the manager she was pleasant but offered me nothing. When I said they would lose my business, she asked where they should send the records. They didn't give a damn about retaining my business, just about collecting my money. I will never take my dogs there again.

I just recently took my dog to Buckhead Animal Hospital for severe diarrhea. They diagnosed what the problem was quickly and gave me pills and special dog food which cleared it up quickly. Also, the fees for the visit and special pills & dog food were very reasonable. We have been taking our animals here since 1986 and have been so impressed how they cater to the animals and let you know up front what the cost will be for any procedures. I also impressed that they call the next day and see how the dog is doing.

This is a nice vet's office if you are willing to seriously overpay for their services. The staff is very friendly and they obviously care a lot about animals. When my cat gets scared and potties in her cage, they will wash her and the cage for me. They always answer all of my questions and do their best to keep my kitties calm and comfortable during appointments.
The problem is that they add unnecessary procedures without asking and rack up a huge bill for what should be a simple appointment.
For example, I have a young and healthy cat who developed a small rash on her chest. She has had this same rash twice before in the same place and they did a bunch of tests, gave me some meds, and it went away. All I wanted was to get a refill of the same meds, since they have already done all of the tests before and it is in her medical history.
The vet ended up swabbing her ears (without asking), looking at that under a microscope (without asking), checking the scab, looking at that under a microscope (same thing they did last visit), giving her a rabies shot (I agreed to this), and adding flea medication to the bill. Oh, and prescribing me the same medication as before and a diagnosis of "We don't know what's causing this..."
At the end of the visit, the bill was more than $450 and I still don't even know what's causing this rash...
I have brought both of my cats here, and this has not been my first experience where they have gone off and done a lot of procedures I didn't ask for, leaving me with a massive bill. Needless to say, this is the final straw and I will not be visiting this vet again, which is unfortunate because I really love the doctors here. Just can't afford these ridiculous prices with no helpful diagnosis.

Please DO NOT take your pet here. My puppy received the lepto virus vaccine and had extremely negative reactions to it. I was not warned, other than that there may be some side effects such as drowsiness and loose stools, that this vaccine is actually quite risky, and it was pushed on me very strongly by the veterinarian even though it is not a required vaccine. Furthermore, when I took my puppy back in as they requested when he started shaking and being unable to hold himself up on his front paws after getting the vaccine, they ran a number of tests on him and gave him three different medicines without my permission. This ended up costing me nearly $100 even though I was never told I would be charged. Perhaps the worst part, however, was that when I got my puppy back after leaving him there for an hour to watch his symptoms, he was returned to me so frightened that he could not stop whimpering and crying, and none of his symptoms had improved whatsoever even though he was pumped full of benadryl, pain medication, and muscle relaxants. It has been 11 hours since his vaccination and 2 hrs since he was returned to me after being watched, and he still is shaking uncontrollably, unable to support himself on his front legs, and whimpering like he is in severe pain or is extremely scared and nothing is calming him down. Please do not take your pet here if you want it to be treated properly and if you do not want blood work and shots/meds to be given to your pet without your permission. It will cost you a lot of money and leave your pet in worse condition than before you arrived.

Vca Buckhead Animal Hospital
Atlanta, Georgia
General Info
VCA Buckhead Animal Hospital in Atlanta arranges veterinary services through a network of physical and emotional distances which align each medical procedure to pet body language signals while mapping recovery zones across Georgia. Every session starts with understanding spatial boundaries by observing pets' initial reactions to the environment, including zones they shun and their pace adjustments. Upon initiating interaction the clinic team examines body-system cues starting with fur density and external touch tolerance before progressing to assessments of oral health, joint range, and abdominal flexibility. Equal importance is given to owner observations including recent stalling before stairs combined with changes in sleep positions and object guarding behaviors along with shifts in interaction timing with household members. VCA Buckhead Animal Hospital offers medical mapping services which encompass orthopedic planning alongside cardiovascular listening and hydration tracking as well as dermatological checks with immune calibration and energy-rest cycles. Medical procedures are structured to allow recovery periods where even short diagnostic steps may be divided to avoid cumulative stress. The animal’s reactions to various thresholds dictate adjustments in noise levels, scent layering, and personnel proximity. Post-care recommendations depend on specific behavioral markers such as the duration a pet needs to return to its baseline state along with where it seeks refuge in the house and how its social interactions either resume or stall. Ongoing support manifests through detailed visual touchpoint documentation coupled with optional sensory behavior analyses. VCA Buckhead Animal Hospital serves Atlanta and nearby Georgia areas by treating each pet visit as a movement-based journey where they interpret the pet’s signals at every check-in point, room transition, posture change, and pause.
