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!

We started taking our miniature schnauzer, Pete, here over the summer and we love Good Dog at West Cobb. Our vet is Dr. York and she is so kind and knowledgeable. I have a million questions when it comes to Pete’s health and she is so kind and answers them all without seeming to get irritated. We have taken our baby to other vets who do not really care about Pete and are just there for the money and will nickel and dime you at every turn but at Good Dog this is not the case. Everyone there is so nice that Pete willingly goes in the back with them. I also love that their office doesn’t look as sterile and cold as many traditional vets which puts us and Pete at ease. Pete recently got diagnosed with Epilepsy and we ended up having to take him to a veterinary hospital with a neurological unit but Good Dog called after they got send the results and asked if there was anything they could do and they all have been keeping him in their thoughts. We absolutely love Good Dog at West Cobb. Thank you so much for everything y’all do!!

Dr. Alvey is one of a kind. She is caring, understanding, supportive, and genuinely wants what’s best for your dog. I was raving about my amazing vet to a coworker and how i would only trust this one vet to do it (I did not mention I went to Good Dog or Dr. Alvey’s name). I told my coworker I was nervous about my 11 year old dog having to be put under to get a tooth pulled and cleaned for the first time but that I knew he would be in good hands. My coworker told me that her dog (who’s even older) had just had his teeth cleaned not long ago and was put under but that she too had an amazing vet she trusted and loved- and it went well! She showed me pics of his teeth and I saw that the pics were from Good Dog’s instagram… I was like wait I go to Good Dog- no wonder we both LOVE our vets. I asked who she saw and she said Dr. Alvey! We both laughed at the fact we had no idea we both saw Dr. Alvey or that we went to the same place but it made total sense… we both had the best experiences. At the time, I was driving from Sandy Springs to West Cobb just to see Dr Alvey. But now that East Cobb is open, I thankfully don’t have to drive very far. My coworker loves Dr Alvey so much she said she was going to make the drive from Austell to East Cobb just for Dr. Alvey.
If you can’t tell, she is the absolute best!

Everyone at Good Dog is kind and quick to help/answer any questions you may have. I cannot recommend this place enough! I tell everyone I know with a dog about Good Dog and the exceptional team they have.

I could go on and on. I am forever grateful for this place and the care they give my dog.

Good Dog Smyrna veterinarian clinic. It is the most caring group of doctors, techs, and front desk folks that I’ve seen. I switched to them because when I needed help with my dog on a walk in basis they figured out where I could go and sent me and my dog got taken care of. Previous veterinarian of 20 years basically said “give your dog an aspirin and call in the morning. “. Most importantly is they are competent, well trained veterinarians.

My 1st experience with Good Dog was definitely 5 STARS! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by name and immediately brought to the examination room. The exam, diagnosis, explanation and direction for my dogs healing were all delivered professionally, timely and friendly. Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this vet for your pet's care👍👍

The best veterinary clinic around! Dr. Alvey and Dr. Reinstein both truly shine through their expertise and care for our 2 girls. The clinic itself is extremely clean and the front-end staff are so welcoming & offer great customer service. I highly recommend this practice to every dog owner I know!
