The UGA Community Practice Clinic offers routine veterinary care for your four-legged friend with services ranging from annual checkups and vaccinations to dental procedures and spaying and neutering. Any companion animal owner can make an appointment by calling 706.542.1984. Our Community Practice Clinic operates separately from our Veterinary Teaching Hospital and allows our fourth-year veterinary students to gain experience in a general veterinary practice environment. Our faculty veterinarians, interns, veterinary students and technical staff all work together to deliver compassionate care to your pet. This team approach ensures that your pet receives the highest-quality care possible, however it also means that your appointment may take longer than it would at a traditional primary-care clinic, so please plan accordingly.
