★★★★★ Superior staff. Knowledgeable veterinarians! So thankful I found this clinic. Highly recommend!Sheri H.Sheri H. ★★★★★ The staff here is absolutely fantastic! They know what needs to be done and do it well! Very friendly and helpful. Dr. Mabe is very knowledgeable and wonderful with our pug boys Owen and Oliver. I completely trust her with their medical care!Cherie M.Cherie M. ★★★★★ Fantastic Vet!Natalie Kate T.Natalie Kate T. ★★★★★ Doctors and staff are very professional and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs and cats!!!Carel T.Carel T. ★★★★★ Mister loves it thereTammy HTammy H ★★★★★ When I adopted my kitties in 2022 I asked a family friend, a longtime resident of Chattanooga who started Southern Comfort Maltese Rescue, which vet she recommended and, without hesitation, she said Shallowford Animal Hospital. I live in North Chattanooga and my friend lived in Hixson, so this was not a convenient choice for either of us, but I could not be happier with Shallowford. They are a very warm and caring group, from the front desk to the top vets. They have an excellent payment plan, with 3-4 different levels, and they do not try to talk you into the most expensive option. In fact, of the three cats I adopted, one is quite elderly and I was ready to invest in the most expensive level of their care packages, but they felt that wasn’t necessary and she is on the same level as the other two. And the payment plans are just an option if you are interested; not a requirement of any sort. I’ve had dentals done, emergency appointments when they work me in, regular scheduled appointments; I have interacted with the different doctors who specialize in different areas of veterinary medicine … It’s a great Veteranary hospital.Lt V.Lt V. ★★★★★ Shallowford Animal Hospital staff (I wish I could remember all their names) & Dr Perry have taken loving, patient care of our one eyed, missing teeth, lymphoma diagnosed, McKamey adopted 9 year old precious dog, Jessie, for past 2+ years.

We were nervous going in and left feeling like everyone really cared about our girl, Cricket. Can't recommend them enough.Jaime L.Jaime L. ★★★★★ I started taking my 2 Mini Schnauzers to Shallowford Animal Hospital back in April 2020. My two pups were not even 1 & we were all caught in a major Tornado. My dogs were not injured physically, but mentally I knew they needed help. I was referred to SAH by my Aunt. It was from that moment on - we became "lifers" with SAH. We now live in Charleston, SC & I make the drive back to Chattanooga, TN for all of the grooming & required Vet appts. As soon as we walk in the door, we are greeted with the sweetest staff, smiles, lots of hello's & every single staff member knows my Dog's names! The Vet's are ABOVE & BEYOND. Every single Vet has made time to speak with me via zoom or phone. Which ever is the easiest for me - they make it work. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Perry. He spent so much time with me and one of my pups in order to make sure I was completely satisfied & understood all next steps regarding medications. Like I said, we are "LIFERS" at SAH!!!!!!MaryElizabeth W.MaryElizabeth W. ★★★★★ Impressed enough to leave an unsolicited review. Went to two vets who's lack of care and attention lead to a worsening of my critters issues and a ton of suffering in the mean time. This place took the time to look over my pet head to tail and found an underlying issue the other two facilities had missed. They also took the time to explain my options without pushing me towards any of them. I didn't feel like they were trying to sell me on anything, just genuinely caring for my animal. They made sure we landed on a treatment I was confident in and as a result I'm so much more likely to follow it diligently and return if I have any concerns. Moved over my files. Won't be going anywhere else.Immiye B.Immiye B. ★★★★★ DR.RICHARD.and the staff are very friendly and have great bedsidemannors .very caring .Nathan C.Nathan C. ★★★★★ Called them about cremation options for my sweet kitty who had passed. Treated me and him with so much respect and care. They made an impression of his paw and a clipping of his fur to take with me before I left. Thank you to the sweet staff.Catrina K.Catrina K. ★★★★★ Everyone was so nice and loved on my baby!Sondra M.Sondra M. ★★★★★ These people are beautiful animal loving people! They genuinely care about your animal. My dog wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for these beautiful peopleAlexis T.Alexis T.js_loader
