Can you explain: If you blow it off, I have an…read moreinvestigative reporter, ready to start asking questions. ------- I have patiently waited almost a year to speak on this out of respect for my brothers but I will not stay silent any longer. Sweet Azzy, my brother's Great Dane, went in for probably the most common procedures in the animal industry, a SPAY. The spay was "done" by DR. MARSHALL TAYLOR at Rhea County Animal Hospital. My brother's were assured Azzy was in good hands and would be ready to come home the following day. SHE NEVER DID. There are so many things wrong about this entire situation. As someone who has worked in the animal medicine industry and worked alongside and for MULTIPLE Veterinarians, NEVER HAVE I EVER met a Veterinarian as careless, incompetent, unethical, and down right CRUEL. I have physical evidence of "Doctor" Marshall Taylor lying to us. The closing work (incision) done in procedure that the Veterinarians and veterinary technicians I have connections with say is a DISGRACE and DISGUSTING. When picking up Azzy to take her to UTK for necropsy, as we're weeping, his office staff had the AUDACITY to tell me "let me ask what to do about check out and payment" .... PAYMENT!!!???? You think they are paying you for this???? Azzy died alone, in a kennel, in the cold because of what He did and he expected to be paid? With all the being said, if your animals are your babies, PLEASE stay away from Dr. Marshall Taylor and Rhea County Animal Hospital. Warn your friends and families. HE IS STILL MURDERING ANIMALS Y'ALL ... THIS IS NOT THR FIRST TIME HE'S DONE THIS AND WON'T BE THE LAST IF Y'ALL KEEP HIM IN BUSINESS. He should've been stripped of his DVM a LONG time ago.

Dr Offutt approaches each of our pets individually. He is careful to treat the older ones minimally unless aggressive medication is necessary, and the are great to have our dogs' records and vaccinations up to date every year. Dr Offutt doesn't push the food or vaccinations of the month like some vets do. I appreciate that, not judging the others. He's given us lots of good advice and recommendations for the dogs individual quirks and health conditions. They saved Enzo's life from a bad bout of pancreatitis here and have helped him have such a higher quality of life that I feel a loyalty to them. We moved from across the state where we enjoyed a great relationship with the vet and it's been a real relief to find Dr Offutt. All I hear from other customers and patients is respect and gratitude. In a small southern town, a reputation like this is earned!

The Downtown Dog also carries wholesome dog food, treats, toys, bandanas and other pet accessories with sales going on throughout the month (ask them about their "Radical Reece Rewards").
