My cat couldn't eat, could barely breathe, they said, "Oh the doctor took the day off, come back tomorrow." Early the next day the excuse was, "Oh we ONLY do those types of exams in the afternoon, we'll get to him when we get to him." Dead cat. After slicing him open, killing him with the anesthesia AND expecting to be PAID for not doing anything, the "doctor" said, "Oh he was hit by a car, nothing I could do." Wow a car IN the house and a car that caused NO skin abrasions or bruising. I'm going to Graff the next time I want an animal cared for, and I'll leave putting one to sleep to Whetstone, that seems to be their specialty. I'll also add they are so out of touch with what they're doing, a few months after killing my cat they sent a postcard telling me I needed to bring him in for his exam and shots! I can't tell you what I think about that bit of insensitivity and general "we really DON'T care unless it's cash or check" attitude because there are no polite words to describe that adequately . . .

When we moved here from Ft. Campbell, I was nervous about finding a new vet to go to. We absolutely…read moreloved Tiny Town Animal Clinic because that's where my two oldest Manning and Gracyn started off going for their shots and grooming (the staff there absolutely adored my pups). So coming here I was pretty nervous but the reviews all seemed great besides the few outliers that didn't phase me. For one, the vet is always clean and is pretty roomy. I like that it's not a small waiting room/ front desk area where it feels crammed and muggy. I also like the front desk people because as much as I've came to this vet, some of them start to recognize you and your dogs and it makes you feel welcomed. I'm not sure what the other reviews were talking about but every time I've been there, it was always the same few front desk people. If they were talking about the techs, then they need to know that vet techs come and go, we do live in a military town where people are constantly moving, and it's a lot of young faces so probably people who just got done with their program and looking to work. Lastly, I truly enjoy this vet because of the veterinarians. Dr. Hackworth is such a kind soul and you can tell just by one meet with him. He has always taken care of my three pups whenever we came in for their routine vaccinations. Anytime my babies had surgeries I always requested him. I'm sure they are all great though because they are under the watch of Dr. Hackworth. I have been coming to this vet for almost 2 years now and probably a lot more visits than majority of these reviewers due to the fact that I have 3 fur babies and there's been surgeries and multiple puppy shots that they had to get so this backs up my credibility of this review. Lastly, their prices are unbeatable. I've never been to such a nicely priced vet. Trust me- my first two pups have been spayed and neutered and my third one was the cheapest! I highly recommend this vet!

It is easy to make appointments here, and the office keeps us up to date on what our animals are…read moredue for: vaccines, etc. Also, they are very understanding when you have trouble getting large dogs to their appointments!  (Let's just say our Great Dane had issues.) Their boarding services are wonderful and very reasonably priced. We felt very comfortable having them take care of our Great Dane after he got neutered knowing he would receive his medication on time and eat quality food. Now to the vet: Dr. Scott Peters has been our family veterinarian for close to two decades. He's maintained the health of our donkeys, horse, dogs, and cats (yes, it gets noisy sometimes out here!). He saw us thru two donkey pregnancies, has a great after-hour emergency service (which we have used more than once), and helped us keep the feral cat population down in our area by spraying/neutering the ferals my mom would trap and bring in (I think most vets would have told her that was crazy to do). If you need veterinarian services in the Ava area, I recommend the Animal Clinic of Ava.

I have been taking my dog here for a very long time, and just yesterday I had the worst experience…read more I will say, the vet assistants and the vet themselves were amazing and friendly and very empathetic...however the front desk staff are not. My dog is 10 almost 11 years old and was diagnosed with heart failure. I have had him seen there and had tests done and paid $600+ at one time for my fur baby. Due to a lot of life things going on, I am not very financially stable. I was unable to pay the full amount yesterday for the visit, and his pain meds. Since my dog is in a lot of pain and slowly dying.... he needed this done. Like I said, I have paid all my bills the day of until yesterday. I was able to pay a portion of it. However, they were refusing to let me pay for his pain meds until the whole service was paid for, which was the whole point of the visit. The front desk staff did not care at all. Did not let me set up some kind of payment plan or pay for the meds and then a portion of the services. I was going to be able to pay all of it on Friday - 2 days later.... I was crying at the checkout desk because they would not let my dog have his VERY needed pain meds. Then the vet assistant comes out with my dog and his meds, and I was thinking maybe they were able to give him a "sample" of the meds to hold him until Friday. But no, the front desk lady yells across the waiting room - in front of other people - "She can't have those, we took those off, she can't have the meds" SO EMBARASSING. I was just very disappointed in them for lack of empathy, when they KNOW me and my dog...since we have been there for years. They KNOW that we have paid all other bills on the day of the service. And the fact that this place does not have a payment plan option for people who struggle financially but still want to make sure their animals are healthy and cared for!! I do recommend this place for the Vet staff, but I don't recommend for the front desk staff. They have no compassion for the owners.
