I have waited long enough. We had our German Shephard spayed in November of 2020. We had the blood work done. She was perfectly healthy. Should have been no problem. My wife went to pick Tasha up and they said it would be a little later than they thought. So she went back about two hours later. They had a hard time getting her to wake up. My wife left the vet with her and the tech told her if we had any problems to just bring her back. My wife made it about 1 mile from the vet and they called. They realized we lived about 35 minutes away and wanted to give us some pills to give her if she was still having issues. I was home when my wife arrived with Tasha. We had to carry her out of the car and into the house but she would wag her tail when I would say her name so we both thought that she was still "under" and needed more time. We tried to give her one of the pills but it didn't work as she couldn't swallow it. We brought her in and laid her on her bed in the living room. She just laid there but I would say her name and she would wag her tail or lift her head so I would pet her. The boys laid in the floor with her and also pet her. We didn't think anything was wrong as they told us they had "given her a little more than normal because it took a little longer than normal". Around 11pm she died on her bed. Just stopped breathing. No struggle. We called a 24 hour vet and took her to them. She bled out internally. She wasn't sewn up correctly. We took their advice, had her spayed to help prevent ovarian cancer and Dr. Lee killed her by not doing his job correctly. I honestly wanted to do bodily harm to him at first and wanted to light him up on the internet to let everyone know but I let it go until I could calm down. We received a card after Tasha's death. It was signed "The Staff". No personalization. No anything. You just killed our dog and you sign it "The Staff"? Reallly? Keep your pets away from this place and away from Dr.Lee. He killed our dog and he could very easily kill yours.

I've taken my dogs here for years. Dr. Lee and his staff went the above and beyond recently when my elder 15 year Chihuahua took a down turn with kidney failure. They worked her in 5 days in a row for treatment and I know Dr. Lee and his staff saved her. I appreciate him and him team not giving up on her. In years past he has done many dental cleaning on my dog also. Dr. Lee is very knowledgeable and I trust him.

Great staff and they have the of pets and it helps to know that they understand how much the animals mean the to the owners. As I had to take 3 of my puppies in as they are very sick. The care is very affordable, the staff loves and cares for the animals, and the vet is wonderful and prepares to do all things possible to make my fur baby's feel better and get them well. I have a new Doctor and office for all my animals and I will highly recommend this office. They deserve all fives. Thank you Donelson Animal Hospital. You guys are truly the greatest and gave my pets a chance. It means alot.

I took my dog here because he sliced his leg open. I should have known not to take him here when they said they could look at him and put stitches in within an hour. I was told he tore his tendon so they gave him some stitches. I asked about a cone to put on him before we left and the lady at the front told me to go buy one at a pet store. I spent $418 for my dog to like his stitches out over night because he didn’t have the cone. I do not recommend bringing your pets here.
