Full-Service Veterinarian & Animal Hospital in Fayetteville, GA
At Fayetteville Animal Hospital, we’ve been serving pets and their people with heartfelt care since 1976. We’re not your average vet clinic, and that’s exactly how we like it. Our experienced veterinarians take pride in providing hands-on, personalized care. From interpreting digital X-rays to performing a wide range of soft tissue surgeries right here in our hospital, we’re equipped to handle many medical needs in-house, so your pet can get the care they need from the team you know and trust.
What Makes Us Different
Independently Owned & Operated
We’re the only privately owned veterinary practice in Fayetteville, and one of just three in the entire county. Owned by Dr. Sherri Ray since 2008, this hospital has grown from a 1-doctor, 4-person team into a powerhouse staff of 4 veterinarians and 26 devoted animal lovers.
Big Enough to Help, Small Enough to Care
We work as a tight-knit team, we will see emergencies during doctor hours, and we will do our absolute best to fit in every patient who needs us.
Gentle Handling for Happier, Healthier Pets
Our team has been using gentle handling techniques for over 12 years. We’re especially skilled with fearful and aggressive pets, and we do everything we can to make visits less stressful for everyone involved.
Deeply Rooted in Fayetteville
From law enforcement K9s to rescue pets in need, we wholeheartedly support our local animal welfare groups. We’re proud to be part of so many pets’ journeys to health and happiness, and honored to be a trusted resource in the Fayetteville community.
Veterinary Care with Heart in Fayetteville, GA
Our veterinarians are more than pet lovers. They’re medical professionals who are dedicated to giving every patient the highest standard of care. Whether it's a puppy’s first visit, a challenging emergency, or diagnosis of a complex condition, we bring skill, compassion, and teamwork to everything we do. And with decades of combined experience, there’s very little we haven’t seen or treated.
We’re proud to be the kind of hospital where everyone pitches in, clients feel like family, and pets are cared for like our own.
Loved by Pets. Trusted by Their People
We could tell you all day how much we care, but we think our clients say it best. Here’s what Fayetteville pet parents have to say about their experiences with us:
"My Yorkie was sent over from another vet for an emergency c-section. Her test results were sent over and they were ready for her and immediately took her to prepare her for surgery. They took wonderful care of momma and her pups. One was having difficulty and they worked with him near 45 minutes so that I could bring him home alive. Staff was wonderful and kept me informed."
Kathy Stottlar
"Very caring staff without being pushy to do things. They understand I have a very senior dog and I live on fixed income. They have all been very pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend this place for your pets"
