Avondale Animal Hospital

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 bringing your pet here.

Full disclosure - we have followed our favorite vet to whatever practice it takes them to. I really love everything about the friendly feel of Avondale. From the wonderful front desk crew answering those calls and calming pet parents to going above and beyond (which they did for me) when I had a question on a weekend and my normal vet was practicing at a partner clinic, they went above and beyond and got me an appointment with my regular vet at the other clinic. That is just one of the many wonderful experiences I have had there. Next time you are there, give them a quick THANK YOU, because the front desk is the front line for everything, good and bad, and they take it with a smile!

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 loved it that I was able to call up and able to talk to someone right away, about my pet, and their problem. To come in right away. Get my pets problem fixed and get back home. My baby problem was serious and it could have, killed him, but they fixed it right away. Now my baby is back home doing good. Taking his medicine. Laying around, just being loved on.

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.

The employees at the front desk were so helpful when scheduling our emergency visit, and Dr. Cobb was very knowledgeable and passed on so much information to help our dog after her procedure. Everyone in the office seemed to really care about our puppy and how we were feeling! We came in for an emergency situation and will be switching to Avondale as our main pet provider as we were so impressed. Highly recommend!

I have absolutely no words to express my gratitude and appreciation to this team! Back story : We adopted our sweet and beautiful cat Rose back in September , she immediately captured our hearts and became a member of our family! In January our vet informed us our precious girl was terminally sick but we could manage symptoms, we did all the things to help our sweet girl including a blood transfusion and daily prednisone. Today 3/22 around 1pm she made a dramatic turn for the worse. I contacted Avondale and without hesitation they offered their support in her care. We took our beautiful girl in knowing it would be her last vet visits. The lady at the front desk was everything we needed , followed by the vet tech and Doctor. They assisted our Beautiful Rose in her transition and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of ladies. We were there after 8pm and they encouraged us to take all the time we needed. They will never know what a blessing they were to our sweet Rose and my family!
