Veterinarian Serving Rome, GA
Rome has several veterinary practices. This is the one built to high standards.
Etowah Animal Hospital is a locally owned veterinary hospital at 1401 Kingston Rd NE, Rome, GA 30161. We care for dogs and cats across Rome and Floyd County. Dr. Abby White is the veterinarian at every visit. Bloodwork and imaging are read here, when needed, during your appointment.
Where we sit matters more in Rome than it would in a grid city, because the rivers decide which hospitals you can reach without crossing town. We are on the northeast side, where Kingston Road (GA-293) comes in. For East Rome, Shannon, Armuchee, and anyone arriving on GA-293 or US-411 from the east, we are the first hospital you reach.
Clients from West Rome, Garden Lakes, Coosa, and Mount Berry still drive to us. Ten extra minutes buys the same doctor, same-visit answers, a cat room that is not a lobby full of dogs, and a dog room that has its own private entrance.

- New puppy & kitten care: the first-year schedule, spay/neuter planning
- In-house diagnostics: bloodwork and imaging read the same visit
- Surgery and dental care
- Urgent care. Call us and let us know you’re on the way
- Paw Plan: routine care bundled into one plan
Why choose Etowah Animal Hospital
- Location. Northeast Rome on Kingston Road. You do not cross the rivers from East Rome, Armuchee, Shannon, or Silver Creek.
- One veterinarian. Dr. Abby White practiced in Rome for more than a decade at Mount Berry Animal Hospital, before opening Etowah.
- A true cat room. Separate exam room with a window, away from the dogs.
- A private-entrance dog room. One of three dog rooms has a beautiful private entrance, so a reactive dog never crosses a waiting room.
- The building. The old Homestead Restaurant. Most of Rome already knows it. The renovation took about a year and a half.
- Se habla español. Leslye on our team speaks Spanish.
Serving pet owners in Rome, GA
East Rome is our own neighborhood. Downtown and Between the Rivers are about five minutes out. Armuchee, Shannon, Lindale, and Silver Creek reach us without going through the center of town.
Three rivers and a lot of treeline make this good parasite country. Heartworm prevention should run twelve months a year in Northwest Georgia. Ticks stay active through most of it. Dogs that swim the Etowah, Oostanaula, or Coosa are worth a leptospirosis conversation. Copperheads turn up along all three in warm weather. A snakebite is an emergency situation, and should be addressed immediately. We keep anti-venom on hand for that occasion.
