Shoal Creek Animal Hospital

I was visiting family in TN. My dog became very ill on Friday evening. Saturday morning I began calling local vets looking for someone to see her. When I called Shoal Creek Animal Hospital the girl that answered the phone was very nice and helpful and told me to bring her right in. They were extremely busy but that didn't stop Dr. Pitts from checking out my fur baby. She was sick enough to be needing an overnight stay. Of course I was scared about leaving my best friend someplace I was not familiar with. Not only did the staff but every client in the waiting area made me feel like my babygirl would be in good hands. While I sat and waited to find out what was wrong I talked to everyone in waiting area and everyone had great things to say about Dr. Pitts. I have to say after picking her up the next day on a Sunday, I knew they were right. Dr Pitts called me Sunday morning to tell me how she was doing, he said if she can keep the food they gave her down that morning she could come home. He then called me again at noon and said I could pick her up. Dr. Pitts was there and handled her release. I felt like his care and concern for my dog was unlike anything I have ever experience at another vet. I didn't feel like she was just a dollar amount for the vets office but he was compassionate and actually cared about her well being. I will be forever grateful for him saving her life. She had severe pancreatitis and he never missed a thing examining her and starting her on the road to recovery. I brought her home later that week and went back to our regular vet. They said everything he did for her all the bloodwork, etc. gave them all the information they needed. If I were closer all of my pets would be clients of Shoal Creek Animal Hospital. They went above and beyond and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Thank you from Valerie & Zillow

What an awesome place with super friendly staff. The parking lot smells pretty rough when it's damp. But, I couldn't have asked for better care for my dog. I travel constantly. I don't have an actual address. I called the other place and was rejected simply because of my address. These guys got me right in. My dog (Socks) was the priority. Excellent care by caring staff and quick testing to get on top of the issue. Not only did I get top-notch care, but the price was super cheap compared to her other vet. If I were to stay in the area, this is the only place I would take my pets to. Very helpful and attentive. They answer questions and explain anything you might not understand. ( That's everything for me) Socks is on the road to recovery thanks to these wonderful people. Thank you so much for being awesome 👌 Pardon the dirty car, Socks did it. 😆

I've been taking my four-legged kiddos to Shoal Creek for the last 16 yrs and I wouldn't take them anywhere else. Dr Pitts is wonderful! He's knowledgeable, professional and just a down to earth guy. He is very loving and gentle with my kiddos. The staff is great and very helpful. So glad I found Dr Pitts and his staff.

We are new to the area and had not yet become established with a vet. Our dachshund Winnie became quite ill quickly, so on a MONDAY morning I called The Shoal Creek Animal Hospital (I had seen in a "newcomer's to Lawrenceburg" Facebook group this clinic and Dr. Pitts were loved and highly recommended) and asked if there was any way they could see Winnie that afternoon or even on Tuesday. The receptionist was so nice, she set us up for a new patient appointment that same afternoon! We arrived, there is plenty of easy parking and the waiting room is welcoming. The receptionist was incredibly sweet in person too. Elizabeth, a great tech, assigned us a room and came in to take Winnie for a weight and heartworm check. She was gentle and kind to a scared, sick little dog. Very much appreciated her! Dr. Pitts was wonderful as well, he assessed Winnie thoroughly, talked me through the several possibilities of her illness and took time like we were the only patient there. He prescribed two medicines and she is much better 24 hours later. We are very thankful and appreciative of this clinic and their staff!!!
