Our History
At Mills Animal Hospital, our goal is to provide the highest quality veterinary care with the utmost compassion and commitment. We strive to make our patients and clients part of our extended family while helping pets live long, happy, and healthy lives.
At Mills Animal Hospital, we're bilingual (English and Spanish) and our team is committed to professional, caring, and personalized service while working in an open, fun, and family-oriented environment."
Where We Started
Mills Animal Hospital was a dream dreamt by a little 4-year-old Michelle Mills. That dream grew into a goal of providing quality patient care with the utmost love and compassion in a fun, family-oriented environment, with a team of experts that would be like an extended family to Dr. Mills. In July 2017, that dream came true, and Dr. Mills' hopes and goals for the practice have continued to be fulfilled, far exceeding her original vision.
Where We’ve Been
Being involved in our community is at the heart of everything we do at Mills Animal Hospital. We are proud to partner with local schools, including Picketts Mill Elementary School, as part of their Partner in Education program and sponsor Paulding, North Cobb and Allatoona High School sports teams.
You'll also find our team out in the community throughout the year—we proudly participate in events like the Big Shanty Festival and Taste of Acworth, where we connect with local families, meet new pets, and continue building relationships beyond our hospital walls.
Each October, we host our annual Fall Festival to celebrate our extended family and community. This event brings everyone together with food, Halloween costume contests, kid-friendly activities, a petting zoo, a photo booth, and so much more.
Supporting and inspiring the next generation of veterinary professionals is especially important to us. Through our kids' educational programs and Teddy Bear Surgery demonstrations, children have the opportunity to 'scrub in' and perform surgery on their stuffed animals, helping their fuzzy patients feel better. Many leave saying they want to become veterinarians, and we're honored to help spark that passion.
We also invest in future professionals by offering externship programs for veterinary, veterinary technician and Pre-Vet high school students, providing hands-on experience in a supportive, real-world environment.
Beyond education, we are deeply committed to our community. We proudly support local animal shelters and founded Mills Pet Rescue—where every paw finds a forever home. Through our rescue efforts, we provide essential veterinary care to help homeless pets become healthier and more adoptable."
