DID YOU KNOW?!
Yawning is contagious for dogs too! The yawn effect isn't just limited to people. Dogs have been known to catch a yawn or two from those around them!
When a dog yawns, it usually indicates a feeling of stress, anxiety, or discomfort, acting as a calming signal to communicate they want to de-escalate a situation; however, it can also simply mean they are tired or preparing to sleep, depending on the context and accompanying body language.

A few of our Atlanta VCA Animal Hospitals are offering a safe and caring home to pets evacuating from Hurricane Milton's path. Please see below for the list of hospitals:

VCA Briarcliff Animal Hospital
VCA Dahlonega Animal Hospital
VCA Appalachian Animal Hospital
VCA Catoosa Animal Hospital

We are offering up to 7 nights of free boarding for pets of evacuees, so pets get the loving care and shelter they need.

We will verify evacuation zone residency upon your arrival (driver's license, etc.). If residency cannot be verified, we can still offer boarding at our regular rates as long as we have availability. We urge anyone who is evacuating to go ahead and get copies of your pets' medical records and vaccine history, as we have to adhere to our boarding vaccination requirements.

10/08/2024

We will be closed on Wednesday, October 9th to prioritize the safety of our Associates, clients, and patients during Hurricane Milton.

10/08/2024

We will be closed tomorrow (Wed 10/9) and Thursday (10/10) due to Hurricane Milton. If you have appointments scheduled these days, please reach out to reschedule. If you need anything for your pet prior to the hurricane, please contact our office ASAP.
