The Barkfield Standard
Georgia’s Premier Hybrid Veterinary Experience
For years, Barkfield Animal Hospital has been a trusted pillar of the Forsyth County community. Our journey began with a simple mission: to provide high-quality, compassionate veterinary medicine that treats every pet like a member of our own family. From our full-service clinic to our unique mobile care unit, we are dedicated to being there for your pet’s every need.
OUR STORY
A Local Vision for Limitless Care
Barkfield Animal Hospital was founded with a vision of providing seamless care that adapts to the busy lives of modern pet owners. We realized that the best veterinary care shouldn't just happen in a clinic—it should be accessible whenever and wherever your pet needs it most.
Our founder and our dedicated team have built a practice centered on the bond between humans and their animals. By combining advanced medical technology with a warm, neighborhood feel, we’ve created a veterinary experience that is as stress-free for the owner as it is for the pet.

A NOTE FROM OUR LEADERSHIP
From Our Family to Yours
At Barkfield Animal Hospital, we believe that pet ownership is one of life’s greatest adventures. Our mission is to protect that adventure by providing a medical home you can rely on for the long haul.
Founded in Cumming, Georgia, Barkfield began as a mobile veterinary clinic built on the belief that high-quality care should be convenient, compassionate, and accessible. As our community grew, so did we. In 2014, we expanded to include daycare and luxury boarding, creating a safe and enriching space for pets beyond medical visits. In 2018, we brought it all together by adding our full-service veterinary clinic to our facility, completing what we proudly consider a true trifecta of care: Mobile Animal Care, Boarding/Daycare and a full medical facility.
Today, Barkfield stands as a community-first hospital led by a dedicated leadership team committed to excellence. We understand that your pets are cherished members of your family, and they deserve to be treated with the same respect, compassion, and medical excellence we would give our own.
Whether we are welcoming you into our welcoming facility or visiting you at home through our Mobile Animal Care team, our promise remains the same: to provide exceptional care wherever you are.
From routine wellness and advanced diagnostics to the comfort and safety of boarding and daycare, we are here to support you and your furry friends through every stage of life. We are more than your veterinary team, we are your long-term partners in your pet’s health and happiness.
Thank you for trusting us with your family,
The Leadership Team at Barkfield Animal Hospital
