Veterinarian in Watkinsville, GA
Southern Hearts Animal Hospital is a small animal general practice hospital. We strive to provide personal and individual care to dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! We enjoy serving the families of our community. We are located in lovely Watkinsville, Georgia, an amazing community full of history and warmth.
We are locally owned and operated. There is a current trend of large business corporations buying small privately owned veterinary hospitals. We believe this takes away from the personal and individual care that we strive for. This also impacts the local communities economically. We live in the communities we serve.

The Vet and tech did an amazing job making Leo comfortable and keeping him distracted. If I lived in this area, this would definitely be my dog's primary veterinarian.

Puppy & Kitten Care
Good health starts at the very beginning of your pet’s life journey. Regular checkups, vaccinations, parasite testing and deworming, and spaying and neutering will get them off to a great start. We can also advise you on proper diet, preventing bad behavior, and potty training. Ask about our new Puppy & Kitten Care Information Package.
