Veterinarian Serving Cave Spring, GA
Cave Spring's water is why people come. It is also why the dogs need a different conversation than a dry-lot pet.
Etowah Animal Hospital is a locally owned veterinary hospital at 1401 Kingston Rd NE, Rome, GA 30161. Cave Spring is about 30 minutes northeast on US-411. We see dogs and cats from Cave Spring, Vann's Valley, Coosa, and Silver Creek.
If you are visiting for the park, the pool, or the antiques and something goes wrong with the dog, call us. We take patients who are passing through when we can fit them in.

Serving pet owners in Cave Spring, GA
Living on a limestone spring
Karst geology here means cool, clear, permanently flowing water: creeks, spring runs, and the pool in Rolater Park. Dogs love it. Leptospirosis spreads through fresh water no matter how pretty it looks. A dog that drinks from spring runs is worth vaccinating.
Cool water also means longer swims than a warm pond. Swimmer's ear (persistent head-shaking after water play) turns up here more than people expect. Drying the ears afterward prevents most of it.
Heartworm prevention should run all twelve months. The mosquito season in Northwest Georgia does not close reliably enough for seasonal dosing.
