South Athens Animal Clinic

South Athens Animal Clinic is a veterinarian in Athens, Georgia, providing care for dogs and cats. The clinic was established in 1983 and has been accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association for more than 35 years, a status reviewed every three years against standards for quality veterinary care, safety, and service. It is also a Gold Level certified Cat Friendly Practice, using gentle, feline-focused techniques intended to keep cats calm and comfortable through every stage of life. The practice offers puppy and kitten visits, including a routine fecal test and a first dose of heartworm, flea, tick, and parasite prevention, along with puppy and kitten packs that outline recommended vaccination schedules. Adult dogs six years and younger and adult cats nine years and younger are seen for yearly preventative exams with a nose-to-tail checkup and routine bloodwork, and an annual heartworm test is required to refill heartworm prevention for dogs. Senior dogs seven and older and senior cats ten and older are recommended for twice-yearly senior visits. The clinic is owned by Dr. Maureen Singh, who joined the team in 2016 and purchased the practice in 2021, keeping it privately owned. Dr. Singh's interests include feline medicine, dentistry, and shelter medicine. Dr. John Hopkins, a 2009 graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, also serves small animal patients. The clinic sits on South Milledge Avenue, close to Macon Highway and about a tenth of a mile from both the Inner and Outer Loop 10. It holds a rating of 4.90 from the customers who have reviewed it.
