The Good Dog Vision
It all started with a vision from Dr. Patrick and Natalie Singletary… to have a practice that truly cared for their team, their patients, and their clients. To have a practice where clients felt served and seen and the patients received the highest medical care. To have a practice where the team knew the value of their hard work and were on a mission to serve each other and their clients and patients each and every day. An added bonus to this vision? The vision also included the idea for an “all-dog,” canine-exclusive practice where the focus is on what the team loves most – dogs. This vision became a reality in 2019, and our first location, Good Dog Veterinary Care West Cobb, opened in late Fall 2019. Good Dog Veterinary Care is the first and only “all-dog” veterinary practice in the state of Georgia.
Like all beginnings, Good Dog Veterinary Care started small. We started as a 1 DVM practice with 3 Team Members, and by the Fall of 2022 had grown to a 4 DVM practice with 25 Team Members. That growth led to the pursuit of another vision and another dream. This time we started thinking bigger. How could we positively impact more team members, more families, and more patients while still maintaining our personal feel and exceptional client care? The idea for a second location was born!
Our second location, Good Dog Veterinary Care Smyrna, will open in the Summer of 2023 with the same mission and core values as our first location. We are thrilled to be able to bring our vision and exceptional veterinary care to dogs and families in Smyrna as well as in West Cobb. Thank you for trusting your dog to our care and helping us make the “Good Dog Difference” at both of our locations!
Our Leadership
Dr. Patrick and Natalie Singletary are the owners and founders of Good Dog Veterinary Care. They, along with the Good Dog Veterinary Care Team, are on a mission to be a light in the veterinary medicine field. The Singletarys thoroughly enjoy the leadership side of practice ownership, and they feel called to pour into their team, their patients, and their clients each day.
The Singletarys are proud members of Christ Covenant Church in Atlanta. In their free time, you can find Dr. Singletary and Natalie cheering on the Dawgs in Athens or spending time at Lake Rabun with their German Shorthaired Pointer Mix, Lilly, and their German Shorthaired Pointer, Grits.
Both Dr. Singletary and Natalie each bring unique gifts to the practice… and that’s why they work so well together!
