We Treat Your Pets Like They’re Our Own

If your pet is experiencing joint problems, bone issues or disease, or broken bones, call 706-367-1198 to speak to the staff at Shannon Veterinary Services today. Some problems may require surgery, while others may need medications and different therapies. We want your pet to be comfortable and happy.

Protecting your pet from fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites is an important part of keeping them healthy year-round. At Shannon Veterinary Services, we provide tailored prevention plans based on your pet’s age, environment, and lifestyle. Our veterinarians will recommend the best medications and treatments to prevent infestations and the diseases parasites can transmit. Prevention is not only easier than treatment—it’s safer for your pet.

As pets age, their health needs change. Senior pets benefit from more frequent checkups, advanced screenings, and specialized care to keep them active and comfortable. Our senior wellness programs focus on early detection of age-related conditions, mobility assessments, arthritis and pain management, and nutritional guidance. With the right care, your older pet can continue to enjoy a happy and fulfilling life.

A microchip provides a safe, permanent form of identification that can help reunite you with your pet if they ever become lost. The quick, simple procedure is similar to a routine vaccination and can be done during any visit. Each microchip is registered with your contact information, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet can be identified and returned to you.

A balanced diet is one of the most important aspects of your pet’s health. Whether your pet needs to lose weight, gain weight, or manage a specific medical condition, we can create a customized nutrition plan that meets their unique needs. Our veterinarians will help you choose the right food, portion sizes, and feeding schedule to promote optimal health and longevity.

Starting your new puppy or kitten off on the right paw is essential to their long-term health. Our wellness packages include vaccinations, deworming, parasite prevention, microchipping, and guidance on nutrition and behavior. We’ll provide the tools and advice you need to help your new companion grow into a happy, healthy adult.

Changes in behavior—such as aggression, anxiety, or house-training difficulties—can be stressful for both you and your pet. Our veterinarians can help identify the root cause of these issues, whether medical or behavioral, and recommend strategies, training techniques, or medications to improve your pet’s quality of life.

If your dog requires boarding, daycare, grooming, or participates in dog parks or training classes, many facilities now require proof of Canine Influenza vaccination. Shannon Veterinary Services provides the H3N2 and H3N8 Canine Influenza vaccines to protect your dog and meet boarding requirements throughout Jefferson, GA, and surrounding areas.

Canine Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory infection that spreads rapidly in places where dogs congregate. While most dogs experience mild symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and nasal discharge, some can develop more serious complications including pneumonia. Vaccination helps reduce the severity of symptoms and limits the spread of the virus in boarding facilities, kennels, and dog parks.

The initial vaccination requires two doses given 2-4 weeks apart, so planning ahead before your boarding dates is essential. After the initial series, an annual booster keeps your pet protected. Our veterinarians will review your dog’s lifestyle and travel plans to determine if the Canine Influenza vaccine is right for them, ensuring they meet all requirements for safe, stress-free boarding.
