Since 1988, For Pet’s Sake has been the only veterinary hospital in Georgia that is devoted solely to pet birds and other exotic animal species. Our hospital does not treat dogs or cats.
We provide routine preventative care as well as medical and surgical treatments for birds, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, lizards, turtles, guinea pigs, and other small mammals everyday. Equally important is the information our doctors and staff provide on care and special needs of these unique pets.
