Do you prefer your animal companion to be covered in feathers or scales?
We give them the specialized care they deserve.
At Oak Hill Animal Hospital, we recognize that not everyone chooses a dog or cat as their pet. We also understand that pocket pets, reptiles, and other exotics have special needs and requirements to keep them happy and healthy. Dr. McElhenny and our staff enjoy working with different species, and while we are not specialists, we can answer many questions you may have about a new or existing pet. And if we don’t know the answer, we have many good resources to find out the information including the University of Georgia exotics department.
