We’ve been using Battleground for 13 years! I cannot say enough great things. Dr. Dawson always takes her time and so attentive. She’s seen us with puppies to the geriatric times in 13 years. We’ve had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, and Dr. Dawson was so gentle and supportive. We recently saw the newest vet that has joined the practice, Dr. Swayze. He too was very attentive, informative, and took his time with my pets! I’ve been to other practices where I felt rushed and/or like I was more like a tiny fish in a big pond. However, that is not how we feel here! I’ve always felt we’ve been in the best of hands! 🙌🏻

After 15 years of being a client, they turned us away on November 3rd at 1:30pm when our boy (Max) was having an emergency because they were too busy. They told us to take him to VEG. He died at a place he had never been with vets we didn't know. I entrusted my fur babies to Battleground because I trusted that they were being cared for by the the very best vets with over 75 cumulative years of experience. Max paid the ultimate price of finding out they would not make him a priority during an emergency. I would not recommend these vets. I will never know if Max could have been saved. I have lost hours of sleep and endured so much guilt over having entrusted my boy to these vets. I still cannot believe that these vets couldn’t have told someone being seen for a non-emergency visit that they needed to see one of their patients due to a serious emergency. I think sending Max to VEG during business hours without even knowing what was going on with him is unforgivable. If they are that busy, they cannot provide appropriate care for their patients and seriously need to consider limiting their patient load. The picture below with him in my arms was just minutes before he was euthanized. If you are reading this review, please know that I thought Battleground was the best of the best before this day.

We had a wonderful first experience at Battleground Hospital for Animals! The ladies at the reception desk were welcoming and so nice. The doctors assistant was very kind too. And, we loved Dr. Dawson who was very thorough. I am very happy that my little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was very calm and comfortable with everyone, which means the world to me. We appreciate the great service, professionalism, and kindness shown to us!

We took our new little girl, Penny for her first visit. We had taken Harmony for years until she passed away. They were always so good to Harmony there was no doubt we would take our future furbabies to Battleground for care and love. Everyone gushed over Penny and loved her at first sight like we did. She had the best first visit!! We look forward to many healthy and happy years with Penny under the care of the absolute best staff. We love you all!
