Looking for a good local veterinarian? Being in this business, we have the opportunity to meet many of the local veterinarians. Though Athens has many wonderful vet offices, it takes alot to get a recommendation from Pawtropolis owner Amanda Rodriguez. Pawtropolis and staff personally recommends the following vet offices:

Mars Hill Animal Hospital

They not only offer the best health care for your pet, but also dispense plenty of TLC. This vet office also extends their generosity and care to the animals of Helping Paws Rescue.

After years of treating cats like small dogs, veterinarians now recognize that cats face many unique medical problems and therefore require special care. At Classic City Cat Clinic, we also believe that cats deserve their own place -- a place where they'll receive the very best care without the stressful experience of sharing a waiting room with a bunch of barking dogs. Classic City Cat Clinic is the only full-service veterinary hospital in the Athens area just for cats. Dr. James Brousse and the entire staff of Classic City Cat Clinic, strive to provide the absolute best care available for patients in all life stages.
