Veterinary Care
All Creatures Animal Hospital delivers comprehensive veterinary care for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small mammals. Our services include routine wellness exams, vaccinations, and chronic condition management. The team emphasizes preventative care to maintain long-term pet health while addressing acute illnesses through evidence-based treatments. With AAHA accreditation since 1991, we ensure adherence to rigorous medical standards.
Dental Services
We provide complete dental care including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease prevention. Annual dental exams detect early issues, while at-home care education reduces future complications. Emergency dental procedures address trauma or sudden oral health crises. Our focus on oral hygiene prevents systemic infections that impact overall pet wellness.
Surgical Procedures
Soft tissue surgeries like spays, neuters, and mass removals are performed with pre-operative bloodwork and anesthesia monitoring. Complex cases receive referrals to board-certified specialists while maintaining continuity of care. Post-operative instructions include pain management and recovery timelines. Laparoscopic techniques minimize invasiveness for select procedures.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital radiology, ultrasound, and ECG services enable precise internal diagnostics. Board-certified veterinary radiologists interpret ultrasound results for accurate diagnoses. In-house lab testing provides rapid bloodwork and urinalysis results, while partnerships with Atlanta-area facilities handle specialized analyses. These tools support timely treatment decisions for critical cases.
Wellness Plans
Subscription-based PetCentric Health plans cover annual wellness visits, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. Flexible spending allowances apply to dental cleanings, sick visits, or genetic testing. No age or preexisting condition restrictions apply. Seventy-five percent of unused FSA funds roll over annually, promoting consistent preventative care budgets for pet owners.

We drive kind of far to bring our puppy here. We love the staff and feel safe and confident knowing Rosie is loved here too. Pricing and services are very fair and straightforward- I never feel like they are selling me anything extra we dont need.

Dr. Roman is excellent, knowledgeable, gentle, always with a smile on her face and you can tell she loves animals and the work she does. Our bunny is healthy and happy thanks to her guidance. Recommend this facility and Dr. Roman for the care of exotic animals, specially if you have a bunny:

Great, friendly and professional staff who definitely love all creatures! The hours are terrific, offering early and late hours 6-7 days a week, perfect for the working fur parent. A little expensive and no multi-pet or frequent visitors discounts.
