Winterville Animal Clinic
We work to provide quality veterinary care for your pets in a friendly, compassionate atmosphere. Welcome to Athens, Georgia, home of the University of Georgia and the Georgia Bulldogs! Our population explodes during the school year, but the rest of the year we are a quiet, rural town in Northeast Georgia.

Since the University of Georgia has one of the finest veterinary teaching colleges in the country, we have access not only to the animal medical, research, and diagnostic facilities, but to young, bright upcoming future veterinarians as well. We have had many pre-vet and vet students who've worked with us.
Services
Dr. Don Cole is the owner, President and majority owner of Winterville Animal Clinic. Even though he is an LSU graduate, we let him stay because he is a great vet! Dr. Cole is a compassionate and caring doctor. His diagnosing capabilities are outstanding and clients appreciate the medical care he provides their animals.
Appointments can be made in 2 ways; Give us a call at the clinic 706-742-5108. Our receptionists and team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability. Emergencies are accepted anytime our clinic is open. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, if possible please call before coming in so that our staff can be better prepared when you arrive.
Your First Visit to Winterville Animal Clinic - delivered with courtesy and respect! As a new client of our Winterville Animal Clinic, you can expect our full attention to your pets' needs. When you arrive for your appointment, you will be greeted warmly, and we'll usher you into an examination room after checking in your pet.
Why is preventive care so important? With the Preventive Care Plans, we offer vaccines and diagnostic tests that can prevent and detect early signs of disease. Not only will the plans guide you to having the longest and most satisfying relationship as possible, but also will reduce the expense of health care, over the lifespan of your beloved pet.

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff and treatment is 5 stars!! I recently had to put down my 14 yr old best friend and although painful they made every bit of it peaceful. They also sent me the most beautiful card. 10/10 recommend!

My Maggi (who is a four legged child dressed in a Chihuahua outfit) has been a client since she was about 12 weeks old. She is now over 15 years old. I wouldn’t trust her to anyone else except the kind, caring, compassionate people at Winterville Animal Clinic.

We took our very sick puppy there and they were immediately on top of everything they needed to do to help him feel better. All the Dr's came together to do all they can. Buddy is still there and in good hands. Emily and the rest of the staff are extremely helpful and friendly!!! Thank you for helping us save our baby!!

I could not say enough wonderful things about Winterville Animal Clinic I’m so thankful for their patience, thoroughness, and care for our sweet pup. They definitely make huge strides in making trips to the vet… a lot easier.
Thank you all for not only taking care of our fur baby but for answering all the questions and being patient with us as new dog owners. I know our pup is in safe and caring hands every-time she heads to the vet… not to mention she’s an absolute goofball and y’all are patient regardless. ❤️

These Vets are the best. Had to take my dog in, and they did emergency surgery and we came home same day. Great experience for the both of us.

Fair prices. Phenomenal care! The respect and tenderness that Dr. Jacob showed our pup during a VERY difficult visit was astounding.
Every employee we encountered was exceptionally professional. Everything was explained thoroughly and we never felt any pressure while we made a very difficult decision.
I've been taking my animals to them for a while and I always regret it when I try another vet.

I loved this place because even tho my Sammy cat was not already a patient they let me come in and worked me into their already booked up day. I had called three vet offices that I had always used and none of them offered to work him in. He had a nasty ear infection and needed attention soon. As an animal parent I so appreciated them helping my kitty cat feel better. Thank y'all so much Winterville Animal Clinic. 5 stars to really nice and caring people!!

Phenomenal. Extremely welcoming and positive environment. I loved how accommodating they were for my family and I. Although my appointment was for one of my rats, the clinic was more than happy to accommodate my service animal throughout the entire process.
I also appreciated that they walked me through everything and actively kept me in the loop. A lot of my previous vet experiences included a lot of "talking over my head" and required digging to get explanations for proposed treatment options and courses of actions. That isn't something you run into here.
All around fantastic place.

Excellent surgeon! He was able to fix my cat's rectal prolapse with the correct abdominal surgery, since the purse string surgery didn't work. It was a reasonable price, too. The staff there are professional, caring people. They are patient and answer all questions. Since we're planning to move back to the Athens area, I have a great new vet now! :)

I love the veterinarians and their technicians at Winterville! They always take the time to fully answer any and all of my concerns. I always feel like I have someone on my team when I bring my fur babies to them. I’ve used them for everything from routine care to surgeries for my 3 dogs and I have never been disappointed. Great quality of service for reasonable prices & excellent staff.

I am a woman of many pet birds, and injured wildlife seems to find me with relative frequency. The vets and techs at Winterville animal clinic take wonderful care of all these critters, especially the wildlife… which I know they take special effort to release back into their own territory.
After my many wonderful experiences at Winterville Animal Clinic, I’ll never take my critters to anyone else!
