Bullard Animal Hospital

I begin using Dr. Bullard’s office many years ago when I moved to the area. I eventually had to move to another vet because I felt like their services weren’t the best. Every single appointment I made I had to schedule in an extra hour on top of the actual service time due to the long wait to actually see a vet. I feel that when I make an appointment, my pet should be seen within the first 15 – 30 minutes after arriving at the appointed time. Also, the front desk staff were unfriendly and did not know any of their clients. Another part that I hated was that I never got the same vet twice. My babies, at first, were regularly seen by Dr. Aikens, who I loved and was the reason for waiting an absurd amount of time. After about a year of seeing him regularly, we were shuffled around to whoever was available (which meant having to explain things over and over again). The last vet I saw there was a few months after I adopted my 2 year old cat from a rescue where he had already received necessary shots and was fixed. When asking about his snorting noises he makes constantly (most likely a deviated septum birth defect and not the reason for bringing him in… mostly just curiosity in asking), she accused me of not being a good pet owner and that I «should have brought him in sooner.» That was the last straw in dealing with this vet and have since moved to Apex Animal Hospital, who I would highly recommend over Dr. Bullard’s office.

We have been going Bullard for about 7 years. The staff is attentive and Dr Bullard is great. We usually get in and out pretty quickly. They have always been a great help with our dog. Highly recommend Bullard Animal Hospital

We have been using Dr. Bullard for over 30 years. Even though we’ve moved away from this area, we gladly take the 1 hour drive to bring our pets here because they are like our children. We’ve tried other vets, but there is no one else that we trust. Dr. Bullard is an animal lover and I hope he doesn’t retire any time soon! (Even though he deserves to)

We brought our 11 week old neo mastiff puppy, who was $ 2500, into the dr to get his ears clipped, and was assured that everything would be fine as he had done this many many times. We got a call the next day, an hour after surgery to tell us that our puppy had DIED!!! No explanation besides, «he was fine after surgery, woke up, and then he stopped breathing»… Needless to say DONT NOT BRING YOUR PUPPY HERE!!! IF YOUR ANIMAL IS EVERYTHING TO YOU, FIND ANOTHER VET! It wouldn’t let me post it without adding that star, obviously this vet deserves nothing!!!

I have visited Bullard animal clinic several times during the past 6 months, both with an older dog and a puppy. 3 of those visits were emergencies and I was allowed to just walk in with my sick dog, no waiting for an appointment even though once this meant Dr. Bullard stayed late. Even when he stayed late, because I had been there the day before he only charged my for the shot my dog received with no office fee. I also love Dr. Tubbs and Dr.Grimm.
There is another female vet there who’s name I do not remember that has almost no people skills, once she administered a dose of medicine to my puppy before I even got a chance to tell her why I was there. When I explained the situation the vets response was «well at least it won’t hurt her» and had to administer a different medication.
But over all, I LOVE the Bullard animal hospital! Just request either Dr. Bullard, Dr. Tubbs, or Dr.Grimm.

I have this pet peeve, pun completely intended, about medical offices, be it my son’s pediatrician or my dog’s vet, having poor customer service. And I’m not asking for anyone to roll out the red carpet or provide sparkling water, but rather acknowledging me when I walk up to the front desk when there’s two receptionists. My last visit, which may really be my last, the two women sitting at the front desk let me stand there for a full minute plus while they continued their conversation, acting as if I did not exist. The vet that gave my dog a checkup was completely unsociable almost to the point of being antisocial. Regardless, she seemed to know what she was doing and I have zero complaints about her abilities as a vet. All-​in-​all I’ve never had a bad experience with the actual veterinary services, but when I’m spending hundreds of dollars a year I would like some kind of semblance of good customer service and hospitality.

I have been taking my dog here for 2 years… super reasonable pricing, super friendly staff and vets. And the vets take the time to explain everything with you and are very nice. We will continue to go to them.

We have taken our dogs and cats here for about 2 years. The prices are extremely reasonable compared to other vets. Also, the vets take their time when seeing the animals and are very personable. The wait is usually around 20 – 30 minutes on a Saturday, but I think that is to be expected wherever you go. The receptionists are pleasant and caring.

Heard about Bullard Animal Hospital from the lady we adopted our precious little one from. At first we weren’t sure it would be worth the drive from the city to Austell, but boy was I wrong! This place is great! The staff is so caring and helpful. It’s almost like the neighborhood vet. I met many people in the waiting area that had such great things to say about Dr Bullard and his staff. Many of them had been with the Vet for years and years and years, which speaks volumes. I can definitely see why people keep coming back. We never have to worry about a huge bill for a visit. Many times we have called at the last minute and been able to get an appointment the same day or next day. Dr Tubbs is the best and very knowledgeable. He even returned my frantic phone call and explained what I needed to do instead of having me drive all the way to Austell. Great staff! Great prices! Great job! Highly recommend this place if you are at all frustrated with your regular Vet clinic due to long waits and enormous unpredictable bills. I know, I know… the location could be better, but what’s too much or too far for the one you love??? See… I told you, lol.

5 stars, hands down. All three of my pets have been under the care of the Bullard staff for years and years. The vets are always incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and empathetic (which I find incredibly important in a vet!). As an example of the amazing staff, there was a flood a couple of years ago that made it impossible for staff to come in for awhile. Dr. Bullard himself stayed overnight to care for the animals. The front desk staff are always courteous and organized as well. I take my dogs Bullard for health care, boarding, and grooming with Sarah. 5 stars on all of the above. Great care, great staff, happy pets :)

From routine vaccinations to major surgery, our pets have received excellent care over the years from Dr. Bullard and the other staff veterinarians. In general, high quality at a reasonable price.
Our cat Charlie T is a rescue we adopted from Bullard Animal Hospital. When he recently broke his leg (Yes, cats can break legs,) Dr. Bullard surgically set it with an external fixator and guided us through the long and difficult healing process.
Kudos to Dr. Bullard and his staff for treating our pets like their own and not draining our bank account in the process.

After finding out that my boyfriend’s family has been taking their pets to Dr. Bullard’s for over 20 years, I knew that I had no choice but to take my pets to the same place. Luckily, I’m happy to take them there because the staff is wonderful, prices are hard to beat and the level of care is everything you could ask for from a vet’s office.
When my cat became ill and had to be put to sleep, the staff really helped to talk me through the difficult situation and even sent a sympathy card a week later to let me know that they understood my loss.
Now, I take both of my big, goofy dogs there for all of their exams and to be boarded when they can’t travel with me. The staff happily notes any special requests I might have during boarding and doesn’t mind answering calls when I call to see if Luna and Ozzie are doing OK while I’m away.
