Avondale Animal Hospital

Avondale Animal Hospital is truly exceptional beyond words. Our two year old cat suddenly developed severe respiratory issues, and even though we were new patients with no appointment, the staff immediately brought us back and began helping him right away. Their vet tech, Shelby, was incredibly supportive throughout the process. She was quick to act, reassuring, and clearly cared for our cat as if he were her own. Dr. Allison took our cat back for x-rays and testing. She ultimately determined that he needed emergency care. She was patient, kind, and steady, especially since we had no idea how serious the situation was when we arrived. She explained every option clearly, including cost effective emergency care choices, and helped us decide to take him to Auburn due to the severity of his co

Avondale Animal Hospital is nothing less than exceptional. I’m very cautious about my cat and tend to worry too much, but the attentiveness and care from AAH has been more than reassuring. The front desk is very welcoming, and the vet techs are kind and gentle with your pets, and the vets are amazing. The entire staff is capable, thorough, and considerate. My 6 month old kitten went in for a spay a few weeks ago and I was so anxious. Before the surgery, they noticed she had a mild respiratory infection and recommended pushing off the spay. I appreciated how thorough they were in their pre-surgery work and how much they cared about her wellbeing. She had her spay today and everything went smoothly. She’s home now and doing great!! Dr. Allison & Dr. Atchison are awesome. You will not regret

Dr. Atchison and his staff are always the BEST. I moved away from Birmingham a long time ago but no matter how many years it’s been if I call (with proper records) they take the time to see my babies. They are fair priced with great knowledge. If I could pick them up and move them to Shelby county I would. As always I’m very thankful for them! Pablo says thank you also!

I will forever use this place. I was nervous to try a new vet because my cat can be anxious with new people. I spoke to Payton on the phone and she ensured me that they would take care of my baby. Fast forward to the appointment. I walked in and Payton knew exactly who I was and greeted me at the door. My kitty was meowing loudly and I know I appeared very overwhelmed. Payton helped sign me in and I sat down on the bench. She kept checking in to make sure I was okay. This level of professionalism from the staff and the doctors is so unheard of and I am SO happy that this is my cat’s new vet.

I was very optimistic about this vet as I’ve heard great things but I was very disappointed. Ashley in the front desk was very kind at updating my appointment quickly when I called this morning but Peyton was extremely dismissive and rude from the start proving no introduction upon meeting me and immediately being stand-off ish when it’s my first time here with my new pup. I disclosed that I came here because my dog may have been exposed to kennel cough at daycare (all of which I explained on the phone and was told I did not. I absolutely did.) I do not appreciate being made to feel as though I did not disclose this information when I absolutely 100% did immediately after being told by the daycare lead.
