Our Practice:
Here at Morningside Animal Care Center, our emphasis is on the compassionate care of your pet and the personalized service we provide to you. Beyond all of our experience, education, hospital features, and comprehensive services, we are caring pet owners ourselves. We understand the special bond you share with your animal family member and how important it is to you that they receive the best possible care throughout their lifetime. We share that very same goal. That’s why we work so hard and love what we do—we are in it because we are passionate about animal health care and want nothing more than to help your pet enjoy a happy, healthy, long life.
When you visit us, you will notice right away that things are different here. We have worked hard to create a calm, peaceful, and relaxed atmosphere within our hospital because we know that for some animals a trip to the vet can be stressful. We want to change that once and for all and make vet visits a positive experience for everyone. You’ll notice that with us you will never feel rushed or unimportant. To the contrary, our dedicated staff is here to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and take as much time as necessary to make you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease.
We invite you to come by and learn why Morningside Animal Care Center is different from other practices in the area. We are confident that once you experience what individualized care and one-on-one service is truly like, you’ll want to become part of our family for life! We can’t wait to meet you!

Appointment Types & Policies
We try to provide convenient and flexible health care hours by providing an early morning drop-off service at 8 am weekdays.
Simply check your pet and leave a daytime contact number where you can be reached. Your pet will be ready to go at the end of your workday.
Walk-ins are always welcome! To help us keep your wait time to a minimum, please take note that our busiest times are early in the morning or late in the afternoon on weekdays.
All after-hours emergencies should be taken to Blue Pearl 24 Hour Emergency Pet Care in Lawrenceville. They can be reached at 770-277-8600.
Occasionally some cases fall outside the scope and management of the services we provide. For these involved cases we will refer patients to local veterinary specialty care facilities and universities whenever necessary. These facilities provide board certified veterinarians for surgery, internal medicine, dermatology, ophthalmology, and behavioral medicine.
For your pet’s protection, we require all new pets boarding with us to pass a physical exam performed by one of our veterinarians. We do not board pets with internal or external parasites or contagious diseases. Boarded animals need to be current on all vaccines and be on heartworm prevention. We can administer any medications your pet requires while staying with us.
At Morningside Animal Care Center, every effort is made to keep our fees fair and reasonable. Our fees are competitive and based on our time, skills, and the caliber of our personnel, facility, equipment, and staff continuing education. Payment is required when services are rendered. We do require deposits with the balance due upon discharge.
If you carry pet insurance, you are required to pay the hospital at the time of services and the insurance company will reimburse you where applicable.
For your convenience, we accept the following payment options: cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express cards.
For your convenience, we can mail your medications to you. Our shipping and handling fee is $10.00.
If you would like to take advantage of this option, you are required to prepay in advance. This would be a one-time request, as we can keep your number on file for future orders. Please note that not all prescriptions can be refilled without re-evaluation of your pet’s condition.
We will contact you if there is a problem.
