We took our dog, Tony, here for his first checkup and visit (it's five minutes from our home). The staff is so caring and attentive! All of the vets are sincere about giving your pet the best care possible. We've been back several times this year for shots and boarding, and every visit is affordable. Unlike other people, I appreciate that the place is a bit older because they're not kicking high rent prices back to the customers. It absolutely DOES NOT affect the quality of care your pet will receive, the staff always provides above and beyond service. Love this place! Read Less

When it comes to care and compassion, Dr. Wiest and Dr. Harris provide some of the best care around. He frequently has Interns from the University of Georgia with him to learn the veterinary trade.Why?Because he is old school, understands animals and goes above and beyond any veterinarian, I have ever encountered.He has been our family veterinarian for over fifty years and that is saying a lot about his practice. His building is a tad bit dated when compared to other vet offices but for prices he charges, he passes the savings onto you. Read Less

Tried this as they are so close, and offered a first "free" vet visit through Lifeline. (The folks that sponsored the free pet adoption at Dekalb Animal Shelter) Liked the vet and the staff but they need to clean and sanitize the place. The smell burned my eyes. Don't think I would board my kitties there. Plan one more visit to give them a second chance. Read Less

We chose this vet initially because it is so close to our apartment, but we will be patrons for life. We have gone twice, each time we saw a different veterinarian, and each time have received amazing service. The doctors seem to really care, and our cat loves the vet assistant. It's also very affordable. The building is a bit old but I promise you you'll fall in love with this place. Read Less

I am not a fan of going to the vet and am skeptical vets want your money so they recommend everything under the sun to line their pockets.  That being said, I took my dog to the vet under necessity and Dr. Wiest took wonderful care of my dog!!!  He was very reasonable in cost and diagnosed the issue perfectly.  We have two dogs and I wouldn't ever hesitate to take either there in the future.

+Would definitely recommend. Staff was very helpful and nice. The doctor is the most attentive doctor I could've hoped for. I showed up with a walk-in sick puppy, and he stayed well into his lunch break taking care of my dog, instead of having us come back after lunch. Read Less

Dr. Weist is a patient, kind and caring veterinarian. He treats my dog really well, does his own laboratory testing, and explains exactly what medications he's giving you and why. The staff is also very friendly, and they will often slip my dog treats. Overall a great vet experience. Read Less

Just simply the best referral from a relative and so considerate of our needs for our aging pet. Dr Wiest had the dedication of the TV favorite (Marcus Welby) for pets!  The office is truly a blast from the past but those savings are passed down to his clients. Your pet is in good hands with this vet! Read Less

Dr Weist and his staff kept my mothers dog ill for most of her life requiring numerous medications that provided little quality of life. I would not allow her to take her last dog to him and he lived happily and healthy until his end of life. I wouldliketo know if things have changed for the better at this vet office. Read Less

We brought our pit bull mix Gracie to Chamblee Animal Hospital right after she was adopted. Dr. Harris took a lot of time with her and was very thorough. Everyone was kind and helpful. The hospital was actually recommended to us by employees of a higher priced clinic. The place has been around for a bit and shows it's age, but don't let that put you off. Can't recommend it enough.Read Less

Don't let the old school 70s vet vibe fool you. These are great vets and assistance. They tell you what your animal needs and fixes it. We have used other vets that only wanted to take your money. This vet loves what he does and it shows. Read Less

For general veterinary issues, I highly recommend this place.  The staff is very helpful and friendly.  It's easy to get an appointment.   Both vets, Dr. Dwight Weist and Dr. Michelle Harris, are accessible, compassionate, conscientious, fair, knowledgeable, and sincere, but I'm especially fond of Dr. Harris.  She's terrific.  After visiting several different vets over the course of my dog's lifetime, I'm finally satisfied with my dog's vet care.   Albeit it's not a new facility; however, I'm very comfortable with the level of care and treatment he has received from these vets.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff at Chamblee Animal Hospital. They are the sweetest and most caring people every time we go in there. I hate that there is a negative review on this website about them. I would hate anyone not giving them a try because they saw the posts below. Complete opposite from what I have experienced. The only negative is that the facilty is in need of some serious updating...if you can get past that, you will be VERY happy. I know we are. Dr. Weist is great! Read Less

My 2 year old dog had an injury yesterday on New Year's Eve and I couldn't stop the bleeding myself. Called Chamblee Animal Hospital and they agreed to take her and it was late in the afternoon. They were very kind to me and efficient. They performed emergency surgery on her paw, and it was VERY reasonably priced. I got a good vibe from them, and I'm switching vets actually because of my positive experience there. Good, family owned practice. Pretty smelly in the office, but what can ya do? I'd highly recommend it. Thanks for saving the day!! Read Less

We're the type of people who people make fun of because we treat our dogs like they are our children (they sleep with us, go on some of our vacations, and are basically spoiled from attention). We came across Chamblee Animal Hospital randomly when we first moved to Atlanta 8 years ago. We were headed out of town on a 4th of July weekend, and most kennels (including our then regular vet, Inman) were full, but after about 15 calls to other kennels, we called Chamblee and they had space. The dog seemed to really enjoy it and Chamblee was much less expensive than Inman so we decided to use them as our full time vet/kennel, despite the drive. Last year, our Golden Retriever was diagnosed with cancer. UGA (the lab that Chamblee uses) indicated it was an extremely high grade tumor. Chamblee recommended chemo and radiation and referred us to Auburn, UGA or one of the specialists in town. At best she was looking at 6 months to 2 years, even with the treatment, and we didn't want to put her through it, so we opted for a less aggressive therapy, hoping we'd get more quality time with her. They respected our wishes and my wife took Hannah (our Golden) to several cancer treatments(injections specific to the tumors). The few surgeries she had to remove tumors were well done with almost no scarring left over and she lived14 months 13 of which she was completely herself. The vet techs were great. One of them had her entire church praying for Hannah. Near the end another vet tech came in on her off day just to see how Hannah was doing. The final decision to put her to sleep was one of the hardest I have ever made but she had gotten very sick and was in pain. Despite having no appointment, they basically shut the entire office down, so everyone could be with us and her when she passed away. A week later we received a very nice card that the entire office had signed and wrote nice things about Hannah in. We would never consider using anyone else. Read Less

The level of incompetence at this vet is nearly incomprehensible. Last Wednesday we had our new puppy in for her initial check-up at this office (we picked her up from the pound the day before). She was experiencing nausea, no appetite, sluggishness, and bloody stool. When we picked up our puppy, all the vet prescribed for her besides amoxicillin, was Heartgard Plus for testing positive for hookworm. We immediately gave the dog the meds, but she promptly regurgitated those back up within minutes. We told the vet and picked up addl meds the next day (in liquid form), but she regurgitated those up too. We told the vet and the response was ""I'm not sure what to do"". Her symptoms were exponentially worse the following day and wasn't even drinking water, so we took her to the emergency room at Pets Are People Too. After we told the doc that came in what her symptoms were he IMMEDIATELY said that she had the deadly Parvo virus. They did the test and it came back positive right away. Per their recommendations, we immediately started treatment of sub-cutaneous fluids, antibiotics, and plasma infusions. Despite the valiant efforts of the docs there, less than 60 hours after being seen by ""doc"" harris at chamblee animal hospital, the cute, friendly, smart pup died. Subsequent follow-up with harris today as to why she didn't suspect and/or test for Parvo, especially considering she came from a pound, was 1) She didn't have the symptoms of parvo (which is completely dumbfounding), and 2) They DON'T HAVE PARVO TESTS at their office!. Good grief! You're supposed to be a freaking vet for gods sake! Bottom line, had a proper diagnosis been made at the initial visit, odds were immense (per the docs at Pets Are People too) that she would have fully recovered. It was just too advanced by the time they first saw her. Stay away from chamblee animal hospital....please. Read Less
