About Ocmulgee Veterinary Clinic

A full-service companion animal hospital serving Eastman, Georgia and the surrounding communities of Dodge County.

Our Story

Ocmulgee Veterinary Clinic is a full-service companion animal hospital located at 43 J. Hemphill Blvd in Eastman, Georgia. From the very beginning, our doors have been open to pet owners across Dodge County and the surrounding communities who are looking for quality veterinary care they can trust.

It is our commitment to provide quality veterinary care throughout the life of your pet. Whether your companion is a playful puppy visiting us for the first time, an adult dog or cat in need of routine preventative care, or a senior pet requiring specialized attention, our team is here for every stage of their journey. We offer a comprehensive range of services including wellness exams, vaccinations, dental care, surgical procedures, boarding, grooming, and so much more.

Our goal is to practice the highest quality medicine and surgery with compassion and an emphasis on client education. We believe that when pet owners understand the why behind treatment recommendations, preventative care plans, and nutritional guidance, they are empowered to make the best possible decisions for their pets. That is why our veterinarians and staff take the time during every visit to walk you through your options, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident about the care your pet is receiving.

Our entire healthcare team is committed to providing personal attention to the unique concerns of each individual pet owner. No two pets are the same, and no two families have the same needs. We take pride in getting to know you and your companion on a personal level so that we can tailor our care to fit your specific situation. Whether you have questions about flea and tick prevention, dietary changes, behavioral concerns, or post-surgical recovery, we are here to help every step of the way.

We understand the special role your pet plays in your family and are dedicated to becoming your partner in your pet's health care. Your pet is a member of your family, and we treat them that way. From the warm greeting at the front desk to the gentle hands in our exam rooms, every interaction is guided by a genuine love for animals and a deep respect for the bond between pets and their people.

Thank you for trusting Ocmulgee Veterinary Clinic with the care of your companion. We look forward to welcoming you and your pet into our family.
