Animal Hospital Milledgeville

I don't normally post reviews but this place is extraordinary. I am from out of town and had to put our 15 yo dog down while visiting. These people were so kind and caring. You can tell their love for animals rather than money. They made this terrible terrible situation so much better than I could have ever imagined. I've heard horror stories from others who have done this and went to vets near my home (ATL). These people didn't even know me but they cried with me. Truly caring people. Read Less

This is the very best veterinarian I have found for our 3 little dogs and cat.  We live in Gray, but it is totally worth the drive to take them to Dr. Cheryl Council. She is kind and caring always, in addition to being a top notch vet. It took us a while to find such outstanding care for our fur babies, and we highly recommend them. Read Less

My boy got sick at home on a Thursday and I couldn't get him anywhere until Friday. The only place that I could get him to was the animal hospital which was a mistake. My dog walked in on Friday and I had to carry him out on Saturday after being told on the phone that he was cleared to go home. Once l left the office I had to take him straight to Hudspeth in Macon, but still had to pay the animal hospital $331 for nothing. I wouldn't recommend The animal hospital to anyone. Read Less

If you have never used this vet then PLEASE DON'T!!! A friend of my boyfriend brought a litter of puppies to them to bottle feed them cause the mother left them when they were about 3 weeks old. The friend said we could have this one female, that we actually fell in love with after seeing just one picture!! My boyfriend has called them at least twice a week for almost 3 months. All they would say was that she wasn't there, and to give them 2 days notice to come and pick her up.After being lied to for almost 3 months, I called today and I was told that one of the employees had taken her home and fell in love with her and she won't bring her back!?!?! The person I spoke to said the person I needed to talk to would call me back in about 30 minutes.... ANOTHER LIE--NO CALL!!! We are just heartbroken over not being able to go and pick up Maggie. The woman who took her home had no right to keep her.... She was supposed to be our baby. All I know is one day KARMA WILL PAY HER A VISIT!! I truly believe that cause you just don't do people that way Read Less

They were very communicative with me about what my daughter’s cat GK needed. They explained everything, had the vet talk to me about options and returned all my calls. The doctors and staff are friendly and knowledgeable! Read Less

Don't recommend if you love your pups like babies... Took our sweet 3 y.o. mix in for a weekend stay while we were out of town. He came home withe kennel cough, despite having the vaccine, meaning they allowed a sick dog to stay in the clinic with him. Very disappointing! We took him ELSEWHERE for diagnosis and treatment. Thank goodness the 2nd clinic we chose (Gordon Animal Clinic) is cost-efficient, treatment only cost $40 for him. However, we then had to rush our 6 month old pup to the clinic also to be vaccinated and receive treatment (another $40), since our 3 y.o. is contagious for 2 weeks. Cost is not much of an issue for us - we are just upset that our babies are sick! Will not be using the Milledgeville Animal Clinic again. Read Less

I highly recommend this Vet, and have put why I do below if you'd like a more detailed explanation of why this vet is so good! We are new to the area and usually use the Vet clinic that goes to pet stores. It is cheaper to take two pets for just shots. We had an emergency, severely infected and swollen ear on my dog who is 13. I saw the Animal Hospital Milledgeville had a great rating and figured I go for it. There were about 3 or 4 people there when we arrived. We ended up only being there about an hour total, which is good for a walk in only Vet. They did not try to recommended any expensive tests or try to go for surgery. My dog has chronic ear issues due to allergies and has had tohave multiple surgeries before. Also, damage to one ear causes it not t function properly leading to more infections. They listened to us about his past issues while treating him. He did not need a muzzle, which I only request because he snaps and growls, not bite. They handled him amazingly! The looked at his ears, told us what they needed to donwhich was only a shot for inflammation and some medicine iin his ear that lasts 2 weeks. Simple effective solution, and it all cost $108 including vet visit. They were fast but not rude or giving a rushed feeling. The staff is super nice and the tech that held my dog during this was Great with him. His ear was very painful and they had to touch it to examine it properly and massage the meds down into his ear. This made him cry and whine but the tech found a good scratch spot and helped take his mind off everything. Bonus, they have animals walking around, this dog heard mine crying and came into the room to comfort him!! Literally stood up so they could see each other and touched my dogs feet with its nose. I highly recommend this Vet and I've become some what critical of them after a really bad experience. This place is a good!! Read Less

Wouldn't return my calls, wouldn't call and infrom me of results for my dog. Very unprofessional, was told results would be ready thursday afternoon and that the doctor would give me a call. Never heard from her, called the office on friday and was given the run around several times by staff, and doctor would not come to phone. It is now late Friday afternoon and they are closing and still no results have been given. if you want to have an active informed role in the health if your animal dont go to this vet. There are several others in town ,old capitol vet just to name one, that are more professional and also a lot cheaper. Read Less

Cheryl Council and Russell Edwards along with their staff are true professionals! They treat animals like they are their own. They are very knowledgeable about diagnosing and treating animals.. When you walk in the sweet girls behind the counter always welcome everyone and are very eager to help. So glad these sweet and caring people are here.. and they will go out of their way to answer your questions about your pet... Most of all I'm so impressed with their kindness !

I've been bringing lil Peanut to this location for about 8 years and couldn't be happier with the service that I have received. Milledgeville is a long drive to just see a vet, but it is so worth it. The staff and vets here are very compassionate. They treat all animals with dignity and respect; and make sure that the owners' are informed about each treatment or service provided. Originally there was Dr. Lee who ran the hospital, but later retired and turned the business over to Dr. Edwards; both of which have been great. This place is much more affordable and provides much better care (to the pet and owner) than the animal hospitals I've been to in the Atlanta area. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs a vet in the Milledgeville area. Read Less
