Frequently Asked Questions

Our veterinary team provides care for both small and large animals. At all three hospitals — Jasper, Ellijay, and Marble Hill — we offer full-service medicine for dogs and cats, including exams, vaccinations, diagnostics, dentistry, and surgery. Additionally, our Ellijay location offers services to large animals, including cattle, horses, goats, and sheep, through farm calls and haul-in appointments.

All of our locations provide comprehensive small animal care, but certain services are location-specific. Jasper offers advanced orthopedic surgeries, including TPLO and TTA procedures. Ellijay provides both small animal services and large animal care, including on-site farm visits. Marble Hill specializes in advanced diagnostics, including ultrasound and echocardiography. No matter which hospital you choose, you’ll receive the same level of compassionate, community-centered veterinary care.
