Cherokee Animal Hospital

Horrible experience! I will never bring my pet to this clinic. They care more about money then your pet.

I love CHA and everyone who works there. Our 12 year old Australian Shepard went to CHA his whole life and recently passed away in November. After countless visits to CHA, trying to improve his quality of life, we made the very tough decision to put him to sleep. Dr. Bryant and Dr. Pepper were so supportive throughout the entire process. Letting us know that it was our decision and they would support whatever one we made while also reassuring us that he had the best life he possibly could have. During the procedure I was able to hold him and talk to him while Dr. Bryant offered compassionate words and hugs when she knew I needed it most. We were able to stay with him as long as we needed and she made us feel like we were her only priority for the day. A couple of days later we received a sympathy card with personal notes from everyone who works there and a cast of his paw print to bring home.
I’m now starting a new journey with a rescue puppy and the guidance and advice from Dr. Bryant has been wonderful. They are conscious of the financial burden procedures take on you, they gave me several payment options when my 15 year old cat had to have nearly all her teeth removed, and always call after an appointment to check in to see how they are doing. Best vet around!

I can’t say enough good things about this vet & the staff. Here is my story:
Two years ago my son took his dog to CHA. He was very happy with this office & recommended we take our dog there. About 6 months later, my dog, 16 yr old springer spaniel, was having vision problems. I took her in for an exam & I was most impressed with both doctor & staff. I knew this was our new vet home!
Fast forward to last Thursday: Jan 22, 2015. We took our dog in for a «quality of life consultation». Madeline, our springer, had been going down hill over the past year. We saw Dr Pepper (yes, that’s her name). She was sooo helpful giving information to help us in our decision. She was patient, kind, understanding & ready to support whatever decision we chose that day.
In my heart, I knew it was time & I didn’t want her suffering to continue. The staff was so so kind. They waited for me & let me drive to Dairy Queen to get Madeline one last treat– a cup of chocolate ice cream; she usually only got to lick an empty bowl — but not that day! They allowed us all the time we needed. Never once did we feel like we were rushed, everything that happened that day was allowed to happen on our time frame. What a gift that was. Madeline took her last breath in my arms hearing me tell her what an awesome companion she was.
Two days ago, we received a sympathy card from CHA. Each and every staff member wrote a short note & signed the card.
These people really care. That day was a heartbreaker — but the loving staff at CHA did everything in their power to make Madeline comfortable & give us peace. I can’t thank them enough.

just got my precious Bella back after having dr. Bryant operate on her for 2 hours… she is in great shape following surgery and I just got a full bloodwork report on line. all I can say is Wow and thank you. everyone there makes my pet feel special.

This place is great! Very good quality of service and friendly staff who actually remember you!
They are very realistic when it comes to cost and try their best to minimize costs while providing quality care — there’s a tough balance there and they do a great job at it.
I can’t recommend these folks enough!
