At St. Francis Animal Hospital, our Augusta Vet Clinic follows the principle that kindness is at the core of everything we do. Our dedicated staff aims to create a comfortable home-away-from-home for your pet while striving to provide intentional care, ensuring your furry friends receive the highest quality treatment.
Regular wellness exams are an important part of keeping your pet healthy and happy. Our experienced veterinarians conduct thorough physical examinations with each wellness checkup to develop a health profile for your pet. This will help detect early signs of illnesses that may not be visible at home and address other health concerns before they get worse.
Even the most responsible pet owners can be separated from their pet. Save yourself days or weeks of worry by microchipping your pet. Our pet vet animal hospital has extensive experience providing this service as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Pets are vulnerable to viruses and other germs they can catch from other animals or just from going outside. Many of these diseases can make pets very sick and some, such as rabies, can be deadly. Getting your pet vaccines in Augusta safely allows your pet to develop natural immunity to these illnesses.
At St. Francis Animal Hospital, our dedicated staff is here for you and ready to discuss your pet’s specific needs so you can be comfortable making decisions about your pet’s health.
Our mission is to enhance the health and well-being of every animal that walks through our doors, with unwavering dedication and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
We use the most modern equipment, tested and reliable veterinary products, and the most effective treatment for your pet. Call us today at 706-860-6617 or contact us to schedule your next appointment.
Dogs are naturally curious explorers, venturing into the great outdoors and socializing with other pets. While curiosity is great, it also increases their risk of contracting harmful parasites like fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites like heartworm disease, round worms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms, just to name a few.
With dogs’ active lifestyles, relying on other treatments leaves gaps in their protection. To protect your pet’s well-being, ask your veterinarian about giving your pet a broad spectrum of coverage.
