Grants Mill Animal Hospital

We have received excellent pet healthcare here for many years. They have seen our pets for everything from routine healthy pet checkups to end of life care; through emergent situations, chronic disease management, and everything in between. The vets and staff are incredible. We are thankful they’re our family’s pet healthcare providers. We recommend them with enthusiasm!

Absolutely outstanding care and grooming from Dream at Grants Mill Animal Hospital! My Newfoundland had severe matting and needed sedation for grooming. After years of separation. Dream, the lead grooming technician, went above and beyond—not only was she able to carefully shave his underside (a thoughtful and breed-appropriate choice), but she also preserved his topcoat, which is important for Newfies due to their insulating undercoat. Her creative approach allowed him more mobility, reduced the amount of dirt he picks up, and made it easier for him to cool off by laying on cool surfaces. The results were incredible—she removed so much dead hair and matting, and he looks and feels like a new dog. He’s noticeably more energetic and comfortable now. Even though I had to wait a couple of weeks for the appointment, it was absolutely worth it. I’m so grateful I found this team—and especially Dream. If you have a dog with special grooming needs or severe matting, request Dream by name. She truly gave my dog a new lease on life 😊. Thank you so much!

My cats have been cared for by Dr Petras and her team for years. Excellent service and the cattery is wonderful. I have total confidence in Grants Mill Animal Hospital!

Dr. Petras and her staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. They always take time to help us care for our puppy and patiently answered all the questions we had as new pet owners. If you live in Irondale or sending areas then take your pets to Grants Mill Animal Hospital. They’ll take excellent care of you!

We have been with this Clinic for a few years now. We couldn't ask for better care for our crew. We recently had a scare that required surgery and was greeted with knowledge from vet tech Bethany along with Vet Dr Petras personal phone call explaining everything in detail. In the world these days, this kind of customer service and care is not fathomable. Thank you for the personal service and love of our fur baby "B".

Dr. Petras and her staff have been the absolute best care we could’ve ever imagined for our senior doggo. Five years ago when we first brought her in, Dr. Petras was immediately down on the ground telling our dog how pretty she was and forming a bond to make sure the dog didn’t experience much anxiety. Even when we moved away from the area, we made the drive to bring her back there every time because it was so clear that they genuinely loved their patients. They provided wonderful counseling for us when our dog started experiencing end-of-life issues. At the end of our dog’s life, they came out to our house and were incredibly sweet and kind and compassionate and made sure that the last things our baby experienced were laughter and love in the comfort of her own home. She passed incredibly peacefully and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Petras and her nurse Nicole for making that happen. I cannot recommend this place enough. Compassionate care, friendly and responsive staff, and incredibly reasonable prices. There is nowhere else you should take your furbaby. Literally a perfect dream of a vet in every respect.

I’ll start by saying my dog is not an easy patient, I get that, she hates the vet and it gives her great anxiety. But they refused to even attempt to help her when she had an open wound on her face, and wouldn’t allow us to sit with her to calm her down so they could give her anesthesia to make her go to sleep for sutures. They say it’s a liability for us to sit with our own dog during an appointment lol. The vet also refused to speak to us and relayed information through the rude front desk staff. I don’t recommend anyone bringing their animals here, especially if they have vet anxiety, because they won’t attempt to care for them if they are scared and showing signs of stress.
