  Excellent doctors, staff and care for my furkids every single time there has been an issue requiring surgery (ACLs and hip - all different dogs)

  Very friendly staff and veterinarian. Prices for their services are very reasonable to me. Took great care of my dog from his puppy days to his final minutes with me. The nurses were very comforting and supportive during his euthanasia. I really recommend this vet.

  We have nothing but love for this office and the amazing staff. They have helped us through a couple very challenging situations. Our family and our pups will forever be grateful for their kindness.

  I can’t get enough of this place. It is extremely professional, clean, friendly, and caring to you and your pets. Other veterinary clinics are dirty and smell like animals. Mars Hill is squeaky clean and has a lovely scent to it. The receptionists are friendly and desire to help you with easy to understand instructions and a warm smile that makes you feel like your pets are in good hands. The doctors are kind and gentle with the animals. They do their treatments in a private room where you are able to watch and ask as many questions as you like. They make information easy to understand. I have seen the entire hospital by taking a tour of the facility. They have one of the best groomers in the state of Georgia. And their facility has been Designed and decorated by a local artist. I have gone here for 20 years now and can’t imagine going anywhere else.

  From the initial phone call to make our first appointment to the process of our dog's surgical spay and follow up, we knew we were in good hands. We received follow up phone calls and assistance with unloading our large dog for follow up. We were offered drinks and kept comfortable while our dog having procedures done. The office is huge and very clean, absolutely no animal smells at all. Going there feels like going home. Tomorrow we take our cat for his first visit there and will be taking our dog back for her final recheck from her surgery! I'm excited to see how our cat will behave in the car with the dog? Whatever happens, I know our animals are in great hands with Mars Hill Animal Hospital!
