When we relocated to the Soddy side of the river from Collegedale, it was important for us to find a good vet to take care of our puppies. I looked at the reviews here and sympathized with the negative experiences, but find it interesting when a facility has all 5-star reviews and 1-star reviews with nothing in between. To me, that usually indicates that overall the experiences are positive but individuals who had a single event that went sideways always need to leave a 1-star review to make a point; so I read them with that in mind. My personal experience after multiple visits is a very positive one. Every time we come for a scheduled appointment, we are greeted with smiles and professionalism. The staff is quick to get us situated and our wait time in the rooms has never been lengthy. The different doctors are very friendly and professional and have provided excellent care to our two puppies. The techs seem to be different each visit, and I'm not sure why there may be turnover; but even with that concern, they are always extremely friendly and careful with our dogs and make us very comfortable throughout the appointment. I have not had any negative experiences and have been here 5 times with both my small dogs for shots, physicals, and checkups and every interaction has been positive. Yes, they seem to be a bit expensive and encourage testing and medications, but that's their job and my job is to decide if I want to pay for things using my judgment. It's the way the world is supposed to work, so no harm there. Overall very happy with the services provided. read more

Don't take your animal here, they may leave more sick than before you took them in!! Took my senior dog here for some hip injections to help with mobility. This went fine. Fast forward 5 days and now, she can't breath or stand up without falling from exhaustion. All symptoms consistent with kennel cough and timeline fits. Dog is old, just hangs out at home so, she hasn't been anywhere else or been around other dogs. Called vet, they deny fault and what was even more unbelievable, was that they asked us to bring her in for another "exam" (ie: charge us more money and be exposed to more communicable diseases). We sent a video and pleaded for them to give us some medications to help her. We even sent a video so they could confirm the kennel cough. They didn't even call us back!! Not sure if my 15 year old dog will survive. Kennel cough is very tough on old dogs. read more

My Booboo loves his sticks... a little too much. He recently got one hung in his throat, so I rushed him to my local vet. I was still really worried about him afterwards due to some coughing, so I called Sequoyah Animal Hospital for a second opinion because they definitely know their GSDs. Even though they didn't have an opening, they worked me in so I could have Dr. Thompson check him out. She took her time explaining what was most likely happening, gave me great advice, and set my mind to ease. It was totally worth the 2-hour drive to set that second opinion from a vet I can really trust with Booboo's wellbeing. . I highly recommend Sequoyah Animal Hospital, appreciate their willingness to see my beloved Booboo on such short notice, and am thankful for the time they took to explaining his condition and educating me on his anatomy. read more

I left my dog here to be cremated, in a private cremation. What I got in return was literature and mementos with her name spelled wrong, no true certificate stating anything about my pet, when she died, who cremated her, or any indication that the ashes I got belonged to my pet other than a paper tag on the plastic bag in the incorrect urn reading "Phoniex". I stopped using them for veterinary care when they said Phoenix would die during the procedure if they were to spay her (I went to another veterinarian and had the procedure done the same day, and she was fine), but this is the last straw. read more

I have took a reasonable time to calm down before leaving a review. I would not even give this place one star unless I had to. I am on a fixed income cause I'm handicapped. I tried to be a responsible pet owner and take my animals in to get my dog vaccinated and a stray cat that wouldn't leave my house checked to make sure she was safe to be around my animals. And her shots. I go in and my dog gets his shots. They tell me something is wrong with the cats belly. I tell them I have very little money most I can afford is $300 for the whole visit. That's my savings. They do a X-ray and say she has a whole in her abdominal lining and her uterus is full of something. I'm worried so I'm like do what you can but keep in that price range. They keep her sedate her and do an ultrasound. They said she needed emergency surgery to get her uterus removed. At this point I had to pay $365 for first day visit. I couldn't afford surgery but I couldn't let cat die. So my partner came up with funds. Next day I take her for surgery. All she's supposed to have done is spayed and they said they may peak around in her. They call me around noon to tell me that they realized she had already been spayed and they did exploratory surgery. They found out she was just fat. I was so livid. They deducted the exploratory surgery cost cause I didn't agree to that but charged me $161.45. HOW COULD THEY SEE ON X-RAY A UTERUS SICK AND THERE WAS NO UTERUS!! When I went in originally I was only supposed to pay $140. That's a $526.45 total of what I spent. And cat still doesn't have her shots!!! I feel taken advantage of and robbed. Plus my poor cat had surgery when she didn't need it. So beware before you take your animals to this clinic. I feel I should of been refunded everything but my dogs shots and possibly the X-ray cost cause of their negligence. read more

I'm always able to get my pet in when she gets sick. They are patient and treat my Sadie Rose so well. The vet is very clean and sanitary. Would highly recommend this business for anyone's pets. I also take my girl into the groomers next door and they do a great job also. read more

We have taken our pets to Sequoyah for the past 6 years. They do a great job providing healthcare for our dogs .... very professional, kind and caring! Additionally, there are other services available on site! The trainers at K-9 Academy were lifesavers with our lab when he was a pup. we have also used their grooming services and frequently board our dog with them. it is so nice to have all of our needs met by staff that is well-acquainted with our pets. We feel like we get such complete care from the Sequoyah staff! read more

This is a terrible place to seek help for your fur baby. I brought mine here because they breed German Shepherds and I thought they would be knowledgeable. the lack of communication, cost of playing guessing games and overall lack of professionalism is the extent of what you will get if you go to this facility. there are so many other facilities that will treat you and your furbaby with respect and are knowledgeable....don't waste your time and money at the veterinary office. read more

From the moment we walked in to inquire about their services we have been treated like family. They are wonderful with all three of our dogs. They aren't scared of our pit bull and make him comfortable so he doesn't get anxious and act out. Other bets have said he is aggressive and won't see him. Our little dogs love them. The staff from the front desk to the vet techs to the vets themselves are wonderful. They make the pups be at ease as well as us humans! Can't say enough. Whether it's a scheduled check up or an emergency they are awesome and very reasonably priced too!!! read more

Took great care of my mini Golden Doodle! I am new to the area and needed to get my 1 year old, Daisy, spayed. I searched online and asked people I met for recommendations. I finally decided on Sequoyah and it was a great decision! They took great care of my Daisy and she recovered very quickly. They communicated information to me very well and even called the day after her surgery to make sure she was doing OK. Definitely will go back! read more

I would be remiss if i did n​ot post a huge shout out to sequoia veterinary hospital. When I called their office to request an appt for my sick kitty ( mind you they've never seen my fur babies before) I was offered a time to drop her off and basically, squeezed in without question. The vet on duty did a work up and called me at the end of her shift to advise me it looked as if our fur baby has swallowed something that caused her intestines to bunch up and needed to be seen at the emergency specialty vet hospital downtown Chattanooga. I'm so thankful her initial diagnosis sent me this specialty hospital who confirmed emergency surgery needed. I am forever thankful she did because this baby is doing incredible and recovering well. Thank you to ALL the staff. Our forever vets from now on.. read more

Just picked my dogs (four) up from boarding them here for a week. We picked them because this is their vet and they did a wonderful job with boarding as well! We were out of the country and weren't able to check on them through out the week but when we picked them up they all had been given a bath, had their nails clipped and their teeth brushed! read more

Animal lovers BEWARE! Took our dog to Sequoyah Animal Hospital to get first set of shots. Asked for hook worm test = Neg They took blood for a heart worm test. They never said the results. We called later in the day to get the results, they said our dog was neg. 4 weeks later we took her to be spayed at a different vets. They said they had to get a heart worm test, we told them that Sequoyah just did the test and it was neg. They did the test again and she was POSITIVE. The new vet said that some vets use a cheaper test and then get a false neg. We lost 4 weeks of heart worm treatments due to this vet in Soddy Daisy. Sequoyah only wants the ol' mighty $$$$. They try to UP SELL at every point. We have 5 cats, 2 dogs. My parents have 5 dogs. WE will NEVER go back to Sequoyah. The owner could CARE LESS. We had our cat there to have teeth pulled, they don't have a dental xray machine. We called and talked with owner, she could give a rats a$$. If you love animals DON'T take them there. BUYER BEWARE. read more

Scheduled 2 weeks ago for my dog to get spaded. I'm a third shifter and showed up at 7am for the appointment. The lady behind the desk informs me that we weren't scheduled until the 27th which was in 2 more weeks and that they had 3 major surgeries scheduled that morning and wouldn't be able to get to me. That's Bullcrap! They rescheduled me and did not inform me. I know this was my scheduled day. I marked it on my calendar and plus I'm moving in 4 days and won't live in this area anymore, so me scheduling it 2 weeks from now makes no sense. So instead of apologizing for not informing me they tried to play it off like i got it wrong. I know what happened more money came in so they bumped me. Terrible I do not recommend this place and will definitely never go back. read more

New to the area, we had an eye issue with our senior girl and Sequoyah Animal Hospital got her in right away. They were very kind and they went out if their way to make sure our pup had the best treatment possible. I was a little worried because of seeing some of the negative reviews but that wasn't our experience at all and we will be back with all further care. Thank you SAH team for taking great care of our little baby. read more

Having three dogs, I visit this place more than I wish I had to. Each and every time I've been here, I've always felt valued and unique, no matter the urgency of my need for my animals. On this particular visit, I was getting my German Shepherd puppy some shots. She's not the most outgoing or social dog around new people. the staff were very very respectful of her boundaries until she was comfortable enough to let them do the work they needed. Their patience with her made this much easier and simpler than it could have been. I will continue to use Sequoyah for all my future animal needs and requirements. They have really good people there and their prices are very competitive. They also don't try to guilt you into any services you can't afford or think you may not need. read more

I took my puggle here for years for his checkups. The staff is excellent. Dr. Kleiner was professional, knowledgeable and caring when it came it came to my dog, Stevie. After some time, Stevie was diagnosed with diabetes. Dr. Kleiner was thorough with his lab work. She worked with Stevie and I until we knew the exact dosage of insulin that he would need to lead a healthy life. I would recommend anyone who's pet is older or ill to see Dr. Kleiner as she will do what is needed to help any animal. She is also very knowledgeable about diabetes, so this was a plus for Stevie and I. read more

I recently got a new cat and chose Sequayah Animal Hospital for my vet. I am so glad I did. I truly feel that my cat got a good exam. Everyone there from the techs to the Veterinarian were so pleasant and kind. They are very good with animals, it really shows they love what they do. Highly recommended! read more

I have taken my pet/pets here for several years now and have been pleased every time. The doctors and staff are friendly, professional and do a great job. When my pet has been sick they have been able to get him in the very same day I call. They even call and check on your pet a day or two after they've been seen to see how he/she is doing. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

I've been pleasantly surprised over and over again by the professionalism, kindness, and genuine care my furry children receive every time they are treated! My sweet girl, Maddy, was supposed to have her teeth cleaned today but after running the blood work they gave me a call to discuss something that might make the anesthesia harder on her considering her age. Together we came up with a plan of care that will be the best thing for my sweet furbaby!! I trust them to care for my girls with the best care available!! read more

I had an appointment for my Cocker Spaniel's eye surgery this morning but upon arrival they had no record of his appointment. This was the last straw with this establishment. Previously when he had cherry eye issues, they only would perform the third eye removal procedure so I ended up going to Sale Creek to have the tuck procedure performed. Because of Sequoyah's proximity to where I live, when he was having recent eye issues I took him there for a checkup. Not wanting to pay a second exam fee, against my better judgement I went ahead and scheduled the surgery with them. Huge mistake. Don't make the same mistake I did. read more

I brought in 4 baby opossums (eyes still closed) that I had found crawling out from their mother who was ran over and dead. It was really annoying to me that people who work with animals daily could be so afraid of hairless tiny creatures. They cringed and jumped back when I showed them. Very strange. They told me several times that they carry diseases, wich I'm aware of, and that I should probly dump them somewhere. They did give me a number to call to get info on what I should do. The number was a pest control business that was no help at all. After dropping the opossums off at the Chattanooga wildlife rehab, I was told that opossum are not dirty animals. The only animals high risk of disease are skunk, racoon,fox and bats. And that "dumping"off tiny animals like this is cruel. You would think an animal hospital would have some empathy and just a bit of knowledge read more

Amanda was incredible in handling my extremely large dog (who's bark is l o u d). She was polite and caring and very knowledgeable!! I will absolutely request her next time read more

This weekend a beautiful Collie came to my house and looked lost. The dog had a akc collar but no tags for identification. My wife and I took the dog over to Sequoyah Animal Hospital to see if this dog had a chip so as to find the owner. The staff at Sequoya waved a chip wand near the dog and said it did not have a chip. Still wanting to halo the dog, we took the dog to the Chattanooga Humane Society 20 miles away. We got there and told them what we had done up to that point. They said they wanted to double check looking for a chip before we explore other options to find this dogs owner. They immediately got a hit on the chip and called based the owners information. The owner came downtown to pick up his dog. If the staff would have done a better job of scanning for the chip, a lot of time and travels could have been reduced for all. The dog was many miles away from his home by the way. He should have had tags. read more

We took our cat into Sequoyah Animal Hospital because she had been missing for six weeks and was found by neighborhood children. Her condition was extremely poor. Her eyes were glazed over and she was bone thin. They advised that based on the blood work she had an infection and was given Polyflex [Antibiotic] and they removed a couple ticks from her body. After a $200 bill, we got her home to give her a bath and my wife found five more ticks on her body. I myself found another. She was not thoroughly checked over considering what she had just been through. She was basically rushed through. No consultation with the vet what so ever. We appreciated that they were able to fit her in, but the service was less than par. Her breath is atrocious and we think that's from not eating and being outdoors so long. Her meow is just a little squeak. This was not even addressed what so ever. The smell is so evident and could not be missed and hard to be around. We have her scheduled for another hospital for follow-up check up to address these issues that were basically ignored. It's sad as we have used Sequoyah for the past three years for all five of our pets. We have rescued four of them because we love animals and want to provide the best life for them as owners. I wish that Sequoyah felt the same! I am afraid to say we can no longer trust Sequoyah with our animals heath. They are part of our family and mean too much to us as a family. read more

We have used Sequoyah Animal Clinic for years and until recently been satisfied with their service. However the last several interactions have been difficult. The most recent situation occurred two weeks ago when my dog had a skin problem. I took him to them a got some antibiotic ointment. The Vet said that pills would be the next course of action if necessary. Two weeks later I called to say that he was still having problems and that I wanted to pick up the medicine. They said that first I must speak with a Vet Tech and that someone would call me back. I had to call 3 times over 2 days for them to finally return my call and it was too late then to pick up the medicine until the next day. read more
