Ridge-country dogs

Taylor Ridge rises behind James H. Floyd State Park. The Armuchee ridges run south toward Rome. Ticks on wooded slopes hold through most of the year. Torn pads and grass-seed injuries turn up after long walks.

Copperheads and timber rattlesnakes are present. A snakebite is an emergency situation, and should be addressed immediately. We keep anti-venom on hand for that occasion.

The Chattooga River and its creeks are leptospirosis territory for dogs that drink where they swim. Heartworm prevention is a twelve-month habit.

How far is Etowah Animal Hospital from Summerville?

About 40 minutes south on US-27. We are at 1401 Kingston Rd NE, Rome, GA 30161.

Is a 40-minute drive worth it for vaccines?

Yes, when you make the trip do more than one thing. A wellness visit here is a full exam rather than just the shot, and we will book the household back to back so one drive covers everyone. If anything turns up, lab and imaging are read during the same appointment, so you leave with an answer instead of a callback.

My dog hikes the ridges. What should we discuss?

Year-round ticks, grass seed in ears and toes, and what to do about snakebite: it is an emergency situation, and should be addressed immediately. We keep anti-venom on hand for that occasion.

Can you see all of our animals in one trip?

Yes, and from this distance we would encourage it.
