Vets near Atlanta
Eleven practices, every one of them read off its own website. The five below say on their own site that somebody is there overnight — three for dogs and cats, two for horses and livestock. Everything else on this page is daylight work and waits under it.
If it's an emergency, call before you drive.
“Open 24 Hours from Thursday 6 PM until Tuesday 8 AM, Tuesday 6 PM - Wednesday 8 AM, Wednesday 6 PM - Thursday 8 AM, Open 24 Hours on All Holidays”
OVERNIGHT · THEIR WORDSREAD THE HOURS TWICEThis is the one on the page that is not around the clock every day. By their own posted hours the doors are shut Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 in the morning until 6 at night. Every other hour of the week, and all holidays, they say they're open.

24/7 LARGE ANIMAL HOSPITALTWO LINES, AND THE BIG ONE IS THE FARM LINEThe number above is the large animal line — their page marks it “Horses, Cattle, Farm Animals.” There's a separate small animal line, (706) 542-3221, for “Cats, Dogs, Exotics, Wildlife” — and the 24-hour sentence on that page is made for the large animal hospital, not for it. Athens is a drive from most of this ring; call before you load.

& mixed practice
In here because the practice's own website says it treats cattle, horses, sheep or goats. A clinic that only mentions dogs and cats is not in this lane no matter how good it is.
Mixed practice an hour south of the city. The farm page names the stock plainly — “Horses, Cattle/Cows, Sheep, Donkeys, Goats, Pigs, Chickens, Ducks” — which is the longest species list anybody in this ring puts in writing.
Monday-Saturday: 8:30am - 5:30pm; Sunday: Closed

Equine hospital east of the city that also drives: it “operates five fully equipped mobile units, bringing top-quality veterinary services directly to your farm.” Horses only — no cattle, goat or bird claim on the site.

Equine practice with a hospital and a truck. “Georgia Equine Veterinary Services offers complete equine ambulatory veterinary services and emergency care services.” On where the work happens: “Horses can be seen either at the farm or brought into our hospital.”
We provide emergency veterinary services 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.

A mobile large animal clinic, and the widest species page in the ring: equine, bovine and cattle, small ruminants — goats and sheep — camelids, alpacas and llamas, and pigs. “From routine wellness exams and herd health planning to urgent medical needs, we provide both primary care and emergency services—right at your farm.”

The teaching hospital, and the only referral-scale large animal service on this page. Their large animal emergency line is marked “Horses, Cattle, Farm Animals.” It carries the 24-hour statement quoted at the top of this page. It's in Athens — the far east edge of this ring for most people reading.
Our large animal hospital is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week to assist you with your animal's urgent or emergent needs.

A mountain mixed practice — “dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and small ruminants” — that runs the truck out of Ellijay: “Herd health, equine care, and on-farm calls from our Ellijay hospital.” They also keep offices in Jasper, (706) 692-2210, and Marble Hill, (770) 894-4233, which post their own hours.

The other half of the same errand
The farms near Atlanta keep this book honest.
Tramel Farms keeps the sister book — the working farms, stands and homesteads on this same ring, from the north Georgia mountains down through the Piedmont. Same rule about not making things up, different page. The people who raise the animals on this page are the ones who tell us when a number stops working.
SAME RING · SAME COUNTIES · DIFFERENT BOOK
The Atlanta ring on the Almanac ↗Poultry
& goats
The hardest lane to fill honestly. A practice is in here only if its own site names chickens, goats or both. “Exotics” alone does not count, and neither does a photo of a hen.
A fully mobile house-call practice north of the city, and the only one in this ring built around backyard birds: chickens get their own service list — exams, nutrition and husbandry, parasite control, diagnostics, sick and injured birds, vaccinations. Birds only. Nothing on the site claims goats, livestock or a farm call, so it sits in this lane and no other.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Home Visits); Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Telehealth Calls); Thursday, Saturday, Sunday: Closed

One of the two in this ring whose own site names both the birds and the goats: “Horses, Cattle/Cows, Sheep, Donkeys, Goats, Pigs, Chickens, Ducks”. Ducks named separately is rarer than it ought to be.

Keeps a small-ruminant page — goats and sheep — alongside cattle, horses, camelids and pigs, and comes to the barn to do it. No poultry anywhere on the site, so it is in this lane for the goats and not for the birds.

A suburban hospital that took the barnyard seriously: the farm page lists “Alpacas & Llamas,” “Goats & Sheep,” “Pigs,” “Poultry” — chickens, ducks and turkeys — “Fallow Deer,” and “Exotic Ground Birds”. The other one in this ring that names both birds and goats, and it drives out: “on-site house calls for your herd or flock.”

BOTH BIRDS AND GOATS — TWO
Four practices in this ring name one or the other on their own site. Three name goats — Barnesville, Ridge and River, Windward. Three name poultry — AnimALL, Barnesville, Windward. Only Barnesville and Windward name both, so if you keep a flock and a couple of does on the same place, that is your list. We are not going to pad it by counting a clinic that says “exotics” and hopes you'll read chickens into it.
Farm call
They come to you, and their own site says so. Where the site puts a limit on it — a mileage ring, a routine-visits-only rule, a preference for hauling in — the limit is printed with the listing instead of being smoothed over.
“Our large animal veterinarians can accommodate on-site routine visits for barnyard pets.” Routine is the word they chose, and it is the whole qualifier — the page does not offer to come out for an emergency.
Monday-Saturday: 8:30am - 5:30pm; Sunday: Closed

Five trucks, and one line you need before you dial: “In the event of an equine emergency, any patient located more than 45 minutes from our clinic must be hauled to our hospital in Covington, GA.” Routine work they bring to the farm — “operates five fully equipped mobile units, bringing top-quality veterinary services directly to your farm.” Know your drive time before it's the middle of the night.

“Georgia Equine Veterinary Services offers complete equine ambulatory veterinary services and emergency care services.” Ambulatory is the farm call, and this is the only one in the lane that pairs it with a stated 24-hour line: “Horses can be seen either at the farm or brought into our hospital.”
We provide emergency veterinary services 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.

“With our on-location farm visits, we bring expert care directly to your property.” The site also calls them “on-site house calls for your herd or flock” — flock is the word that puts a suburban hospital in a farm-call lane, and they wrote it themselves.

How this page was made
Checked 9 August 2026 · 11 practicesTheir site or nothing
Every name, number, address, hour and overnight claim on this page was read off the practice's own website on 9 August 2026. No Yelp, no map cards, no directory scrapes. Where a practice does not publish a thing — AnimALL's street address, for one, because there isn't a building — the line says so instead of filling in.
Lanes are claims, not guesses
A practice is in the large-animal, poultry, goat or farm-call lane because its own site says it treats those animals or drives out. Ridge and River keeps a goat page and no bird page, so it is in the goat half of lane three and not the bird half. That is the whole method.
No status lights, no stars
Hours are quoted, never rendered as “open now” — Sandy Springs is shut Tuesday and Wednesday daytime, and that is exactly the day a status light gets you killed on the drive. No ratings, no reviews, no sponsored placements, no affiliate links. Order is by lane and species, then alphabetical.
