North Cobb Animal Hospital

I called & specifically asked how much it would be to bring my puppy in for her shots, after calling several vet offices. I was told $ 36. So I drove out of my way to come to North Cobb Animal Hospital because it was cheaper, had good reviews and my other dog had been here too. But when I went to pay, I was charged $ 72. I asked why & told them I was told on the phone that it would be $ 36… They tell me that because my puppy was not de-​wormed, it wasn’t considered the «puppy package» and they had to charge me separately! SERIOUSLY??? There’s no sense in that. I cannot believe they pulled this! There’s plenty of other vets.

I have gone to this vet for a little over two years. I would like to give negative stars but it will not let me. First of all I know a vet has to make money and that is important but that’s all this Vet office seems to care about. Trust me there are other vets out there that will love your animals and will not try to nickel and dime you. I have two examples of this at North Cobb. With one I had an older dog who was sick and I decided it was time to let her go. I was not completely sure so the front desk said I could have an office visit first to discuss options. I had already seen another vet and North Cobb with this issue and it was not going away. So I did the office visit and it seemed like the best option was to let her go. So they were great in this area and very sympathetic. What I was shocked by was how much I was charged for this. I know it is not free to do something like this but they charged an office visit plus the fee to put her down. I paid about $ 175 to put my dog to sleep. I have been to other vets and usually its a small fee or actually free. I was shocked and upset about losing my dog. Another time my dog was getting her teeth cleaned. While she was under they called and said she needed some teeth pulled. They were going to charge around $ 40 per tooth. I said no and then they said its to late because they already pulled them. Well I refused to pay for something I did not agree with. I would definitely look into other vets in the area before going here.

Fabulous! The front desk staff and the treatment team are wonderful. I am extremely picky about my pet care, and they have my full trust. I have used all of the different vets here.

Our negative experience there mostly comes from the ladies at the front desk & whoever keeps records of the pets. Once time I took my sick 19 year of cat there in an emergency &‘I was told to go somewhere else. Other time we were given false information for our dogs prescription & they thought she was 6 when she was 12 according to their bad records. Besides not being able to give us her prescription when they said it would be ready. She basically bad customer service, unprofessional & not caring. We will no longer use them.

I am very thankful for the skilled team of doctors and techs who work here. They saved my cat’s life. I brought my cat Zoey in a couple of weeks ago because she had ingested a foreign object (an elastic cord of some sort) and she couldn’t keep food down, or use the litter box. It had apparently obstructed her small intestines, and I was so distraught and worried about what was going to happen to her, I honestly thought she was going to die. I called them first thing at 7am on a Monday morning, and they had me bring her in immediately. Dr. Murphy and his staff were very honest, up front and very compassionate about everything. I felt better after they explained the surgery process to me, letting me know what the costs would be, what the chances of my cats recovery were and how long it would take. They took really good care of her during her 24 hour stay after the surgery, and I am just really thankful to have found a place that I trust and would come back to. It’s only been 2 weeks, and Zoey is 100% better, and back to her lovely grumpy-​cat self again. I would recommend Dr Murphy, and the caring team here at North Cobb Animal Hospital to anyone, and can’t thank them enough for their help.

Took good care of our pet and provided sound information when it came to making decisions for him. Everyone there was very caring and loving towards our dog.

When I moved to Kennesaw, I was so worried about leaving our old vet behind, but North Cobb has been amazing. Their vets & techs are great with my animals, and the pricing is much more reasonable than other vets in the area. My new puppy got all her shots and a microchip for just over $ 100. She isn’t afraid of anyone there, so I know that even though they are giving her shots and prodding at her, they are so kind and gentle that she still loves them afterwards!

I cannot thank North Cobb Animal Hospital enough for their help with getting our Great Dane over to the Netherlands with us. After a previously horrible experience with a different Vet’s Office we came into North Cobb Animal Hospital as a first time patient and in a panic. The paperwork for flying our dog was not easy and Dr. Murphy and the entire staff was patient with us and very helpful in getting it done in a timely manner. Everyone was caring and extremely helpful. The staff was great with our dog. Dr. Murphy was very knowledgeable and was great with our big boy. I highly recommend this vet!

These people are great and they really care. I trust their opinion and they have never over charged me for simple procedures. It’s the type of place that remembers your pets name. The last couple of times I’ve come here, I made the appointment the day of and even though I came in early, they saw me and Turkey (my cat) right away. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

I took my two super hyper jack russells for their yearly check up and these guys were amazing! You can tell they love their job and they love animals. My dogs were treated with the utmost care and they are knowledgeable and they strive in making sure your pets are well. I would highly recommend them!

I have been inside North Cobb Animal Hospital a couple of times previously and never had any negative feedback until this morning. It may be that I am one of «those» dog parents and am a little over protective but I was pretty disappointed with my experience today. I had scheduled my foster puppy for her spay surgery, a heartworm test and a rabies shot. I had them break down the pricing for me when I scheduled the appointment but sure enough there were additional fees tacked on today when I came in to drop her off. Further, there was urine and feces in the lobby. Four dogs were weighed on the scale by staff members within six inches of a giant poop, not to mention the smell and the urine smack dab in the middle of the room. I watched at least 5 employees walk past the messes before someone came from the back to pick it up. They keep a guinea pig right next to the front door. I think this is a recipe for disaster! The poor fellow had dogs trying to bust into his cage not to mention that guinea pigs are pretty susceptible to respiratory problems and I bet that draft of the door wasn’t great for him. Also, they did not seem to know any of the dogs checking in for boarding or veterinary services. (i’ve worked at multiple boarding facilities and a veterinary hospital so I know that they have a schedule up on the computer with names and breeds of the dogs coming in– not to tricky to figure it out!!) Another red flag was when another client dropped off his three dogs for boarding and each had medication to take. He told the desk staff that instructions were written down with the medications, but the staff never went over with with him to make sure they understood his medicating instructions, to ensure that he had packed enough pill or even ask what the medication was for?! Is it something contagious to the other guests? I would have been more understanding if they had recognized the three dogs when they came in, maybe they knew them well and likely prescribed the medications they were taking but alas, one of the three was new and had never been there before. Where did that dog get his meds from? and why did they not use North Cobb for his veterinary needs? At the last minute I decided I was not comfortable with leaving my dog in their care and I left. Maybe i’m reading too much into the situation? What do I know, I’m not a veterinarian.

They are the best for caring for your pet. Their pricing is very reasonable. They will take good care of your and your pet!

All pet lovers know how important it is to find a knowledgeable vet who will be kind to your four legged babies. I moved here from Texas and needed to have my cat checked out, she was peeing all over the place! EVERYONE at North Cobb Animal Clinic was above and beyond professional and friendly. I LOVE when the staff really seems to love animals. The pricing was fair, and the diagnosis and treatment for my cat Serena was outstanding! I’ve found my new vet!
