Cindy Sager
My furbaby, Trixie, was having issues with not being able to function as usual. I could tell she was in pain but couldn't pinpoint the problem. I called to see if Dr Neal could see her. I was surprised to hear that he could see her same day. Dr. Neal and his staff were wonderful. Kind, courteous and compassionate. Thank you Dacula Animal Clinic. She had a pinched nerve in her neck.

Periodontal disease is not always apparent to pet owners, but it can cause oral pain, infection, inflammation, and other health problems. This decreases the quality of life for pets.
