“We love bringing our fur babies here. We KNOW they will get the best care at Wayside. Cannot say enough positive things about all of the staff here. We highly recommend Wayside Animal Hospital.”

Dave M.

“We took our Great Pyrenees, Magnolia, to be spayed, and the team was amazing. From the initial weigh-in to the detailed discharge instructions, they treated her with kindness and professionalism. Two days later, they even called to check in on her recovery. Our sweet girl healed quickly, and we’ll absolutely be bringing all of our pets here. Thank you!”

Ryan M.

“Very compassionate and attentive staff. I brought both of my dogs for immunizations and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. One of my dogs has special dietary needs, and the vet was very understanding and thorough. I truly felt they cared about both my concerns and my fur babies. Thank you!”

Bella D.

“We first found Wayside in Jasper, but have since come to the Ellijay office and could not be happier. Everyone is so friendly and professional. Dr. Boone is absolutely amazing — she has helped us through losing a cherished pet and kept us optimistic with another. She answers every question with patience and compassion. Highly recommend them!”

Ken W.

“I recently switched to Wayside from another big vet in Ellijay and have never felt more taken care of. From the first call, the staff was kind, pleasant, and eager to answer all of my questions. I feel confident bringing my pets here.”

Gracyn W.

“I’ve been to two other vet clinics in Ellijay, and Wayside is the absolute best. The doctors listen, take things at my dog’s pace, and never make me feel rushed or dismissed. My dog can be aggressive at the vet, but they always handle him with patience and understanding. I’ll continue to use them for the foreseeable future.”

Hannah E.

“We were visiting the area and had to bring our girl in for an emergency. The vet and staff were so kind and helpful. You can tell they all love what they do. We are very thankful.”

Sydney W.

“Dr. Villa has been wonderful with two of my cats. One was near death, and with her care and persistence, my cat made a full recovery. She also provided excellent surgical care for another. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

Elizabeth

“My wife and I had to say goodbye to our 18-year-old cat, Milo, and Dr. Imke and the staff were absolutely incredible. Everyone showed compassion and care through the euthanasia and cremation process. They made a heartbreaking time as meaningful and gentle as possible. We are forever grateful.”

Kris R.

“No matter which of my animals comes in, they always make them feel like the most important one. They are compassionate, practical, and the most reasonably priced vet I’ve ever had. We’ll be keeping them around as long as we have pets.”
