Best Friend Veterinary Hospital & Pet Lodge

I have been taking my kids to Best Friends for 6 years now.



I can't explain how delighted I am with their services. I have used them all.



I used to work in a vet clinic many years ago so I drilled Dr. Sue before bringing my kids to her clinic. I have seen every vet that is there and feel comfortable with all of them. I have seen a few staff changes. And they keep getting good folks. My kids are always nervous going to the vet (aren't you when you go somewhere you don't want to be?) but the staff is fabulous about their treatment.



My Boo (mixed breed dog) suffered from extreme separation anxiety and still does, but it very happy with everyone at Best Friends. Yes, it costs money. But the prices are very reasonable. My dog broke her foot, was treated for heartworm and severe intestinal distress. All were treated, and very well, by Dr. Sue and the staff. Boo loves the people there and I trust her judgement. Orin, one of my cats, had to be treated for a severe infection due to a bad bite on her neck from playing with Mayhem (my other cat) and she fell in love with everyone, too.



Yes, vet bills can cost a bit. But a heck of a lot less that it would be for a human. It's an expense you have to pay with pets. But Best Friends is very reasonably priced and on par with others in the area. The thing that keeps me coming back, and bringing in pets that aren't even my own, is the staff. They are professional, knowledgeble, caring and just some good people. The doctors know their stuff and are great with the animals. Yes, they will recommend services. Yes, some of those services can be a bit pricey. But they don't force you to do anything and are truly understanding and sympathetic if something just can't be done And I have been scolded for not doing what I should have (stop feeding people food). It just reiterated the fact that they care about my kids.



If ever I have a question, they are there. If I need a recommendation, they are there. If I need to hear something that I don't want to when it comes to my four-legged kids, they tell me.



Not only do I recommend them but I would not consider anyone else. When I adopted my cats, I had to take them somewhere else for the mandatory shots and neuter/spay. Though the facility was nice, as was their staff and doctors, they weren't Best Friends.



Best Friends is not only a best friend for animals, but for their owners as well and, unless an emergency required I take my services elsewhere, I would not consider another clinic now or in the future.

This is by far the nicest vet clinic for miles! The front desk is made up of the sweetest girls who make you feel right at home and the technicians are very smart and patient with my pets. I love Dr. Grasso and Dr. Sue! We will always go to Best Friends. I have also called around and they have great prices, they don't even charge you an exam fee when you are getting vaccines!

I boarded several pets 3 yrs. ago and everything went well. I move from out of state and have 1 pet. I assumed everything would be fine. Between being surprised when I showed up to see my pet, to the next day forgetting the water dish-I was not a happy camper. So, I took him to another vet clinic and was my pet so very happy. The 2nd place actually spent time w/my pet and he was so happy. This place Best Friend, should change their name to Worst Friend.

My husband & I drove from Louisiana in the summer of 2008. We were told to evacuate due to Hurricane Gustav. At the time we had 1 golden retriever, 1 guinea pig, and 8 cats to board for at least several days. This Vet Clinic stayed open a little longer for us since we were coming in from out of town. The most awesome of Vet Clinics ever and now we will use them again to board just a few cats as we have to move due to lack of employment. We are GA bound. I had a fussy cat in 2008, and one of the vet techs cooked chicken and hand fed it to my cat. How many Vet Clinics would go out of their way to do this??????

I don't generally write a lot of reviews - but felt I needed to add a comment here in complete disagreement with the other posted review. My family has numerous pets and have used countless vets and Best Friend Veterinary Hospital is at least as good (if not better) than all of them. It is a very nice, clean and professional facility, with a very knowledgeable, kind and courteouse staff - from the front desk, to the vet techs & Doctors. I have also compared their prices for treatments & services for vet treatment & boarding finding their pricing to be equal or less than their competitors. They always go over their treatments with me before we do any work - usually offering options on the treatments and pricing. They also "price match" for all meds (not sure on services) - even to online pricing. This past week we purchased the Sentinel product and the front desk team searched the web with me to find the best pricing for discounts. We absolutely love bringing our pets here and will continue to do so as long as we are anywhere near this area.

well i would not even give this place a star. DONT LET THE LOOKS DECIEVE U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. yes its nice but Dr. sue is only there for the money. when i went there just for a simple check up she kept adding and adding to my bill. there is a blond tech.. (Older looking) and i don't know her name but she was so rude. No smile when she came in and her phone kept ringing. . the Prices are CRAZY and i can tell that this owner is only looking out for her best interest than your animals. DONT GO HERE your baby deserves the best and honest care this is not the place to take them.
