Veterinarian Serving Calhoun, GA

Calhoun typically thinks north to Dalton and south to Cartersville. Rome is the direction most people forget, and it is a better choice for better care.

Etowah Animal Hospital is a locally owned veterinary hospital at 1401 Kingston Rd NE, Rome, GA 30161. From Calhoun the drive is about 25 minutes on GA-53: a single west-southwest run through Plainville. No interstate. No city center.

GA-53 meets Rome on the northeast side, which is where we are. A Calhoun client is not driving across Rome after driving to Rome.

Gordon County to Rome is about 25 minutes from Calhoun — not a big trip. The reason to make it is the kind of visit you get once you're here.

Serving pet owners in Calhoun, GA

Gordon County pets, think south west instead of I-75

We see patients from Calhoun, Plainville, Resaca, and the country along GA-53. Shannon is just over the Floyd line on the same road.

Year-round heartworm prevention applies here as everywhere in Northwest Georgia. Tick pressure sits in the middle: more than a downtown Calhoun yard, less than the Armuchee ridges. If the dog has land, ponds, or creeks, we will talk leptospirosis.

Calhoun veterinary care FAQs

Where is Etowah Animal Hospital from Calhoun?

We are at 1401 Kingston Rd NE, Rome, GA 30161, about 25 minutes from Calhoun. That is our one hospital, and it is where we see every patient, so your pet gets the same team and the same records at every visit. The route is described under "Getting to Etowah Animal Hospital in Rome" on this page.

Why not just stay on I-75 for a vet?

You can. However, families come west when they want quality expert care from a privately owned and local veterinarian whom you see every visit and get answers during the appointment instead of a callback after another drive.

Do you see pets from Plainville and Resaca?

Yes. Plainville is on GA-53 between Calhoun and Rome.

Do you take new patients from Gordon County?

Yes. Call us at (706) 413-2737 and we can get your records and book your appointment.
