Welcome to Etowah Animal Hospital

At Etowah Animal Hospital, we believe exceptional veterinary care starts with compassion for both pets and the people who love them. When you walk through our doors, you’ll find a welcoming, locally-owned practice where your pet will receive the highest standard of care, and you’ll experience genuine, personal service every step of the way.

Located at the old Homestead Restaurant, our hospital is more than just a clinic—it’s a part of the local history. We’re proud to have purchased the building from the very family that built it, continuing its legacy of caring for the community of Rome, GA.

Our Story

After more than 10 years of practicing veterinary medicine in Rome, Dr. Abby White made the decision to take the next step. While continuing to serve the same wonderful pets and clients that have trusted her for over a decade, she began welcoming new patients into the Etowah Animal Hospital family.

Opening Etowah Animal Hospital has allowed our team to make every decision without the boundaries of corporate policies or product quotas. Remaining independently owned means we can choose the treatments, products, and protocols that align with the best medicine and your pet’s unique needs.

Simply put, we’re not bound by “one-size-fits-all” rules. Instead, we’re guided by a simple philosophy: do what’s best for every pet, every time.

Our Mission Statement

At Etowah Animal Hospital in Rome, GA, we welcome you and your pets into our family. Our expert team delivers practical, compassionate, high-quality veterinary care and education, instilling confidence with every wag and purr!

Our Commitment to You and Your Pets

We’ve built Etowah Animal Hospital around values that matter to us, to our clients, and to the community we love.
