I took my dog to Crabapple knoll to have his tail removed as the recommended it be done. They requested he remain there over night for observation afterward and I agreed. I assumed that he would be just that "observed". What they fail to tell you is that everyone goes home at 8:30 pm and there is nobody observing your pet again until they reopen the next morning. At sometime during the night my best friend died. While in there care. I was blown away when I received a bill for nearly $1000 a month later for a surgery that ultimatly took his life. I dropped off a happy, healthy dog and received a can of ashes and a bill back a week later. I called and spoke with the owner of the clinic and not only was he rude but he never once apologized for what took place under his care. His only concern was for his money. I have sent two letters requesting that the bill be considered paid and another requesting a copy of there malpractice insurance and all have been ignored. They are now sending me bills monthly with a late payment fee attached. Stay away from this place, they are not doing this for a love for animals, its clearly for a love of money.

We started using Crabapple Knoll for our elderly boxer, Eli. They were very good with him, even when he was testy and difficult. When we had to put Eli down due to sudden complications from cancer, they were so supportive and understanding, doing everything possible to keep Eli calm and comfortable. They let me sit with him for hours waiting until it was late enough in the day for the kids to get a chance to come and say good bye. All the reception staff, technicians and veterinarians went out of their way to show compassion and understanding. Since then my sister-in-law and I have brought our kids to volunteer in the very active adoption program run by the clinic. Everyone on staff seems to genuinely love animals and go the extra mile to make sure every animal that comes there gets the best, most comforting care!

I have not had the best experience with Crabapple Knoll. Although they appear to have a caring staff & convenient hours, I do think there primary goal is to make as much money as possible off of you. The "doctors" use google as a diagnosis tool in front of clients to make matters worse, which to means that some of the lack experience. I also boarded my dog there & they found several things that they wanted to "treat." They make you feel terrible if you opt for other treatment options. (I have been trying treatments for this one particular pet for years to no avail.) Ended up having them treat my dog while on vacation out of pure guilt, & she came home in way worse condition that I have ever seen in all the years I have had her. I think they should take more time & listen to pet owners & take the time to learn about the pets medical history. I am confident I will not return to CKV. Recommend asking for second opinions and questioning all treatments.

Wonderful, caring vets who know that pets are family. Convenient hours, too!

Crabapple Knoll is the only place in Atlanta I trust my dogs with. When we needed advice on chemotherapy, they spent over two hours with us weighing the options. When my other dog needed help with her hip and arthritis, they helped. They are the most caring, professional and loving vet I've ever been to. As long as they're there, my dogs will go to them.
