Beaver Crossing Animal Hospital

I took my dog Wallace (shih tzu) to Beaver Crossing Animal Hospital on 10÷3÷2015 for his annual check up and rabies, bordetella, parvo shots etc. I took him there on a Saturday, by Monday my dog was dead. The vet injected him with something during his routine exam which ultimately killed him. She claimed that he had an allergic reaction to the shot, but I had been taking him there for his annual shots for years and he never had a problem before, that’s why I believe she gave him the wrong injection. I will NEVER take another animal here. I was heartbroken when the vet killed my dog, and I have not been able to get another dog since. If I could give them a zero rating I would. It was just plain negligence. I’m still very upset about it.

Exceptionally caring and capable doctors and staff. They have taken care of our pets’ routine care, urgent and emergency care, and end of life care in such a genuine and caring manner that we recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for vet care. The doctors are extremely caring and comprehensive and truly look out for the health of your pets while considering the needs and feelings of the pet parents!
We love Beaver Crossing and they will be a part of our family as long as we have pets!

We absolutely love Dr. Smith and his team at Beaver Crossing Animal Hospital. We started taking both our dogs, Juno and Abbie, there a few years ago because initially it was very convenient. We loved how professional and friendly the staff and doctors are and also how accommodating they are to fit us into their schedule when we call. The exams are always thorough and never rushed. And everyone there is great with our dogs. Last year we moved thirty minutes away but we still make the drive to see them because it’s well worth the effort. We highly recommend them for your pets!

Ms. Pat is the truth! I have taken my havanese girl here for months. As this breed is new to me, and I was not sure how to cut her, Ms. Pat knew what her look should be. She is sweet, professional, and great to my furbaby.

The care was solid and the rooms were clean. The vet I saw could use some more practice on bedside manner though, particularly when speaking with people. My animal was called mouthy and I was informed, without me soliciting the information, that I would have to train him out of it because with his breed he would be dangerous one day. 1^st of all: my animal as a baby, was teething. 2^nd: it was his first vet visit. He was being held by a technician and it was impossible for his mouth to be near you unless you got near it. 3^rd: he’d never had his temperature taken. What did you think was going to happen when she stuck her hands in his face given they have no relationship. 4^th: She could have asked what he was like. 5^th: she had the opportunity to muzzle him.
The front desk staff was marvelous though, as were all of the technician I encountered. I wish the hours were a bit clearer. They open early, but the vets aren’t in until later. Maybe it was written somewhere and I missed it. If I needed something done in a pinch or I weren’t sure where I could go, I’d come back, but otherwise, I don’t think this will be our primary vet.

I’ve been taking my pets to Beaver Crossing Animal Hospital for about 15 years and I would not even consider going anywhere else. They have helped me with the loss of two pets, and are now caring for my next two. I especially enjoy that the staff remember us from visit to visit, and genuinely make us feel welcome.

We have been taking our dogs here for over 20 years. Have always been taken care of in the best way possible. Never have we felt rushed or taken advantage of. When we had to put our first pup down (Lymphoma) they were more than kind and patient with us. They even made a donation to UGA’s veterinary school in her name.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We brought our elderly dog here after he was displaying symptoms of a stroke. After a thorough exam, we discovered he had something equivalent to vertigo. In the process, however, the vet discovered a heart murmur and joint issues. We were thankful to know what our sweet dog was going through so these issues can be addressed. We were impressed with the vet’s skills, knowledge and friendly personality, and the staff are so compassionate and patient. The doctor spent time answering all of my questions, so I never felt rushed. We will be using Beaver Crossing exclusively.

I just have to say THANK YOU to the staff at Beaver Crossing Animal Hospital. My puppy starting peeing blood on Saturday and I called them, took him in and we were still there an hour after they closed. Dr. Winemiller and staff made sure to run all the tests they could to try to find answers even if it cut into their weekend. She was so patient with me and answering all of my questions. I just can’t say enough about how that made me feel. This place is great. THANK YOU from the bottom of Ashford’s (puppy) heart. :-)

My kitties are really fussy, but Dr. Winemiller and the vet tech did a great job handling them. We just had our easiest vet visit in years. Scheduling an appointment is really easy too. I called yesterday to make an appointment and took my kitties in this morning. The availability of appointment times is great. I just wish they had better deals on flea medication.

My German Shepard had a hematoma on his ear. I took him here first. They were professional and very nice. They are very knowledgable. To keep this review short and sweet: their prices were very much higher than other places. If I did proceed with my dogs surgery here, I’m confident they would have done a great job. I would not hesitate to bring him back if needed, your pet will be in good hands.

This is my go-​to animal hospital. I started taking my kitties here when I lived in Duluth, on the recommendation of my now-​mother-​in-​law. The staff here is nice, and I don’t feel pressured to pay for services that my pet doesn’t really need. Like many cats, my black kitty is very scared at the vet, but they do their best to put him at ease (and usually ooh and ahh at what a sweet and pretty kitty he is).
The wait and prices are always both reasonable, and there is a good selection of kitty toys by the cash register. Even though my husband and I now live out between Chamblee and Dunwoody, we continue to drive all the way out to Lilburn to get our kitty his checkups, because we haven’t been able to find a better place (although I’ll take recommendations if you have them).
If you are in the Lilburn or Duluth area, I definitely recommend this place.
