Animal Hospitals in Knoxville

“I have been going to Dogwood Animal Hospital now for about 4 years I believe. I trust their veterinarians and staff completely with my babies. They have always done right by my three dogs and one cat. I would highly recommend them.“

“I highly recommend Dr Butler's, the staff are awesome! Very friendly and helpful. We saw Dr. Lauren this last time, and she really put me at ease, really helped! Definitely recommended“

“Dr. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and caring. She is straight to the point, gives you all of the options with clear financial expectations, and doesn’t order unnecessary treatment. The staff is friendly and welcoming. After my first round of visits with all 3 dogs, I can say that these were the most stress free visits we had ever had. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Lisa and her team at Scruffy City.“

“I’ve been taking my dog here for 10+ years. Staff is super friendly and genuinely cares about the animals. It’s the only place I’ll take my pets.“

“My Gracie is 18 years old and Tate is going on 13years. The whole staff at HVAH are wonderful. They have seen to their health needs for well over 8 years and I couldn't ask for better care for either one of them. Whenever I've needed appointments for whatever the reason they always are so thoughtful and helpful and caring in all aspects of their care.“

“These people care about your pets. Hearing how friendly they are and how they fawn over my cat and dog by name everytime I bring them warms my heart so much.
I have a big, scary dog and other vets on principle ask me to muzzle him for all vet appointment which I have always done. These vets are not the same, they took him, loved on him, did everything, and even told me that bringing the muzzle for his next checkup was completely unnecessary. They care about more than just your pets health, but their comfort as well. These people truly care about what they do and even though I have moved away I still make the drive just to make sure my animals see THEM.“

“My dog was attacked by a neighbor dog and this team got him in, took care of everything and did follow up calls. You can’t put a price on your pet but AHAH never disappoints when it comes time to pay. Very reasonable, and we are very thankful to have our tough guy stable. Only sharing a small angle of the before surgery for your comfort. He did receive 29 staples.“

“Very nice and helpful! Thankful for Dr. Hawkins figuring out what's wrong with my girl, and her and Jose dealing with her sass. Not too bad on pricing either!“

“Our first visit was fantastic! All of the staff was really welcoming, super knowledgeable, and great with our two new kittens. Treated us like long term clients, which we appreciate! Confidence inspiring, as well! Dolly and Biscuit will be visiting often!“

“This hospital has taken such good care of my granddog Boomer. From the Cardiology Dept to the Oncology Dept, his care has been top notch. We appreciate that the specialty departments work in conjunction to provide the best care plan. Super helpful staff, clean facility, professional treatment.
I don't like the parking pass requirement, but since it means getting the best care for out fur babies, I'm willing to deal with it.“

“Central Vet (Mill rd.) had been a breath of fresh air for my family! We are NOT your average pet owners; both my wife and myself have been in veterinary/shelter medicine for 2 decades. We have done it all! Veterinary practice management, licensed veterinary technician, shelter adoptions manager, lead shelter behavior specialist, dog trainer, and canine physical rehabilitation (PT for dogs). I am a Certified Canine Rehab Practitioner and received my education at UT. I’m sure that you can imagine; with the years of experience and knowledge that we possess, finding a veterinary facility that meets our requirements can be VERY challenging!! Things I am looking for in facility are as follows: modern website (showcasing the team is a MUST), online store, social media sites w/consistent posts, CSR’s who pickup the phone (not….press 1 for this, press 2 for this, etc.), electronic medical records (NO paper charts), clean & spacious lobby/exam rooms/restroom/outdoor space/reception desk, modern technology (digital x-rays, in house labs, dental x-ray, ultrasound, etc.), onsite routine & specialty surgery, email communication, weekend hours, and a high number of good reviews. That was just the list of what I look for in a veterinary facility, we haven’t even started on the staff requirements!! When evaluating support staff and finding the right doctor, there are a few things to consider. Is there a diverse group (age, gender, education, experience, etc) making up the team? When you have veterinarians across the “age spectrum” you can be assured that the medical tricks of the old days are meeting with modernized medicine of today. Staff longevity is also important! Trust me, an employee that is in the business to offer exceptional patient/client care will not stay on at a facility that doesn’t share in their principles. Lastly, having multiple veterinarians who take the time to provide good bedside manner, offer education on new treatments/medications, and believes in the importance of follow-up care….A++! I know, I’m a high maintenance person, but I own my animals the best possible care and will always take the time to find the most appropriate care for them. Central Veterinary Hospital has met all my needs for staff & facility! I am always greeted by a smile, the hospital is always clean, the support staff are knowledgeable, and the doctors go above & beyond every visit!! Thank you for taking on a crazy veterinary professional such as myself, I know that we can be a difficult group of clients. Shout out to: ⭐️Dr. Megan Broadrick for taking good care of the new patient Neshoba I brought to you! Tracey was very impressed by your hands on exam and follow up phone call to go over bloodwork. ⭐️Jess the assistant for your awesome venipuncture skills on a jumpy Aussie. ⭐️Autumn at reception…..you were AMAZING at answering all my questions, getting a refill on my pups medication, quoting costs for my upcoming visit, and going over all 4 of my dogs reminders!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️GREAT JOB⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very friendly and knowledgeable staff that seems to genuinely care for the well being of the animals and keeping the owners informed. Prices were reasonable as well!“

“In one visit, they diagnosed and prescribed treatment for a really severe ear and skin infection that two other vets failed repeatedly to treat. They are caring, educated, and thorough. I highly recommend them.“

“I have been taking my cats here for several years. Dr Spearman and all the staff has always been so good to me and my pets. She is honest and really shows that she cares. Would highly recommend!!“

“The staff was amazing. Everyone was very helpful and respectful. I brought in my 17 year old dog with a facial injury needing staples. They worked with me on the best options to get it done avoiding sedation by my request (due to his age and airway issues). My dog was comfortable and well treated. The wait time was reasonable and the price was affordable (especially for an after hours ER visit).“
