Do not trust this practice with your animals. This is a corporate practice whose main interest ""money"" will always come before your animal's welfare. If you do some research you will find other ""local"" clinics that charge far less and require less manditory testing. You will not find fees like biohazard, disposable needles etc, at most clinics. They also have a rule about splitting up flea and heartworm preventative into single doses..they claim this is a law..if so, most local clinics are pretty loose about this ""law"". Also, the quality of the staff has gone down hill. The people they employ are not professional and seem miserable in their jobs. \r

What is really sad is that The Humane Society has made a deal with this company to send them new clients in exchange for a free exam for adopters. This is really sad!! The Humane Society wants to be supported locally but they send adopters to the most expensive ""corporate"" hospital in town..instead of some of the other""local"" hospitals which support the rescue efforts of this city and work to make animal healthcare affordable in the city of Atlanta.\r

One last point. If it is the middle of the night and your cat is dying, you will be turned away if you do not have atleast 500 dollars up front just to get your pet stable with fluids. They will turn you away and they will not give your pet's welfare a second thought. They will not even give you a referral! I know this to be true first hand.\r
