Where Your Pets
Are Family
Home of National Geographic Wild's Critter Fixers: Country Vets. Providing compassionate, expert veterinary care to the pets of Middle Georgia since 1999.

From a Small Clinic to One of Houston County's Busiest Veterinary Hospitals
Critter Fixer Veterinary Hospital opened in 1999 in a 1,000 square feet leasehold on Highway 96 in Bonaire, Georgia. Thanks to the awesome clients of Middle Georgia this upstart clinic has grown into one of the busiest veterinary hospitals in Houston County.
Today, our 7,000+ square foot state-of-the-art facility is equipped with digital radiography, a full surgical suite, in-house pharmacy, and a boarding hotel for your four-legged family members. Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson bring Tuskegee University training and decades of hands-on experience to every patient they see.
Comprehensive Care for Dogs & Cats
From routine wellness visits to advanced diagnostics, our team delivers the full spectrum of veterinary care your pet deserves.

A Home Away From Home for Your Pet
