Welcome to Good Dog Veterinary Care

A Practice Designed Entirely for Dogs

At Good Dog Veterinary Care, we’re proud to be Georgia’s only “all-dog” veterinary practice! We offer specialized care for dogs in a warm and welcoming boutique environment. With three convenient locations—two in Marietta (West Cobb and East Cobb) and one in Smyrna—we’re fully equipped to serve you and your Good Dogs!

Our full-service hospital focuses on wellness care but is also ready for emergencies, guiding your dog’s health from puppyhood to their senior years. We want to make it easy for you, so we offer wellness plans with manageable monthly payments and schedule one-hour appointments to ensure we have plenty of time for thorough exams and your questions.

We’re currently accepting new patients, and we can’t wait for you to experience #thegooddogdifference!

New Family Member

Congratulations on the adoption of your new dog! The first step in welcoming a new family member is to make an appointment for a comprehensive health exam. We offer hour-long appointments, and we are happy to answer any and all questions you might have about your new family member. We look forward to partnering with you in the care of your dog!

Wellness Plans + Wellness Education

Our Wellness Plans offer complete wellness care for the entire year broken into easy monthly payments. Wellness education is one of our favorite topics! We love educating clients on the intricacies of their specific dog and spend ample time discussing breed predispositions as well as having an open dialogue about the client’s goals and desires in regards to their dog’s health journey.

Emergency Care

We are ready and eager to assist if you face an emergency situation with your dog. We know this is a scary time, and we promise to partner with you every step of the way. We ask that you call when you are headed our way with an emergency so we can be best prepared to quickly provide medical assistance. Please know that we take emergency patients during our regular business hours only.

Why Just Dogs?

Specializing in dogs allows our veterinarians to narrow their focus and dive deeper into the intricacies of dog specific care. Not only do we focus on dog specialization… we break it down further and focus on breed predispositions and breed specific care!

Our team has specialized dog knowledge and experience, and we are intentional in interacting with dogs in a way that makes them feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy to be in our clinic.

Providing exceptional medical care to “all dogs” is what we do best!

It took over one hour for us to just get out two dogs their rabies shots. We had an appointment for over a week. This is the type of place that also tries to upsell you on everything and offers yearly packages. I have no problems with this approach, but it could have been shared ahead of time. More importantly if you are hoping to sign me up for a year, maybe try to be on time and or more communicative. If this is how they treat a new client, I honestly cannot imagine what it is like if you enter a contract. There was no communication during the hour wait, no apologies. I simply cannot recommend this establishment.
Edit : 2 dogs Abbi and buddy

We moved after 12 years from Kennesaw Mountain Veterinary after they caused harm our oldest child to good dog. They definitely listen to the concerns of the parents, very positive and caring when it came to our 3 babies. Their fees are definitely higher than what we are used to, as well as they take your baby in the backroom to get checked out. That is definitely not something we are used to as well. Although, as parents, we know that our kids behave one way around us, they behave differently when mom and dad are not in sight.

I was an out of town visitor and Good Dog Veterinary Care treated me like a like a long-time client. They were SOOOOO loving to my Giana Joy and fixed her torn below the quick toenail 🥰. The clinic even called me Saturday to be sure all was well with Joy. The staff terrifically shined in the many small welcoming things. This assured me that the vet takes care of the important thing- my puppy dog. I recommend this veterinary clinic to everyone. In fact I’m taking their TLC ideas home to my vet so he can improve his services in the small things: staff loved on my dog, picked her up to cuddle her as she was scared, great exam room w/ soft light, soft music & comfy chair; vet returned before treatment to explain what would be needed, cute goodie bag w/ info for Joy, info about the clinic & treats. I loved the sticker that’s a photo of Joy. OK … enough 😁

Highly recommend this practice.
Having problems with our 6yr old minpins newish allergies (already taking meds for allergy AND on sensitive food)
and Dr Pratt seems to be just as interested in solving the issue as we are.
Don’t feel that was the case with the vet we saw previously….
Total confidence that our fur baby is on the way to clearer skin and less biting & itching!!

I wanted to take a moment to recognize Good Dog Veterinary Care, and specifically Shelly Powell and Dr. Jacquelyn Terrell, for their incredible dedication and hard work. Recently, as the Hospital Director of Big Creek Animal Hospital, I offered to assist in any way possible to help animals impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton. Shortly after, Good Dog reached out regarding a sweet pup named Molly, who had been affected by the storm.

The situation was dire, and hope seemed fleeting. However, Shelly went above and beyond to ensure that Molly's story had a happy ending. While we housed Molly at Big Creek, it was Shelly who did all the legwork—finding this sweet girl a new home and saving her life in the process. I have been in this field for many years, and I can honestly say I've rarely seen the lengths Shelly and the Good Dog team went to in order to help an animal in need.

Veterinary medicine can be tough, and not all stories have happy endings. But thanks to the efforts of Good Dog, we were able to write one. Our partnership with them during this situation is something I will always treasure. If you're looking for a veterinary office in the Cobb County area, I can personally vouch for Good Dog’s exceptional care and compassion. This team truly cares about their patients, and their work and collaboration in this situation was nothing short of remarkable.

Thank you, Shelly, Dr. Terrell, and everyone at Good Dog Veterinary Care. Together, we pulled off a miracle and saved a dog’s life. This is why we do what we do, and I am eternally grateful for your dedication and support.
