New Shackle Island Veterinary Hospital

Just moved to Hendersonville and brought my dogs here for the first time for their yearly shots and check up. Wonderful service, and the staff is great with the animals. The veterinarian was wonderful and explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it. I also loved the 2 ladies at the front desk. They were so funny and nice and made me feel good about bringing my 2 pups in! Couldn’t ask for anything more! I will definitely continue to bring my dogs here in the future!

They are absolutely wonderful here! Always kind and helpful. Highly recommend them!

We just moved to Tennessee and had to take out dog to the vet because he hurt his leg. Everyone was very friendly. Dr. Layne was wonderful and was very thorough. It was also very affordable.

They are great here! Very affordable and care a lot about your pet. So glad we found this place

When we first moved to Hendersonville, I checked Unilocal before selecting New Shackle Island Vet. The first visit was for checkups and shots for our dogs. It was obvious that they care for the critters, and their prices are very reasonable. But I didn’t want to write a review yet, just based on an introduction.
Last week, we had to bring in our Boston Terrier who is showing signs of age. They checked him out and carefully explained what is going on, and what we can expect. They gave us options as well as advice. And we are very happy with the care our dog has received.

This has been our vet office since we moved to Nashville over 10 years ago, and we have not once been disappointed. We have had 2 cats and 3 different dogs taken care of by this office over the years. The customer service is amazing and the level of care is phenomenal. The people who work here truly care about your pet as your family member and treat them like one of their own. They will see your pet and help even when you don’t have an appointment, and will do all that they can to make sure your furry babies are well taken care of. And they do it with a smile! As if the quality of care isn’t exceptional enough on it’s own, the pricing is amazing as well. I have never gotten a bill that was over the top, outrageous or not what I expected. They’ve never taken advantage or overcharged us for any reason, even in unexpected and emergency situations. In fact, often the bill ends up being much less than what we anticipated. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this vet and the entire staff. They are our choise for a vet office for life and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality vet care.

I moved to Hendersonville a few years ago from out of state and started going to Dr. Koelling when my cat first got sick. He’s been so patient with me when she’s sick and I take her in crying because I’m overly worried, lol. I also have two dogs and he’s taken great care of them as well. The staff is helpful and anytime I have a question, even if it’s a stupid overly concerned pet parent question, they help or have one of the doctors call me and talk to me. I’m 100% with the other comment from «Susan J.» Dr. Koelling is more into homeopathic than pharmaceutical and with my pets I prefer natural treatments instead of chemicals.

We have been taking our dog to New Shackle Island Vet Hospital for several years since we moved to this area. We are extremely impressed with the skill and knowledge of Dr Koelling. He is very compassionate and really cares about what is going on with Buddy. Buddy is 10 years old and has had hip problems along with Arthritis. Dr Koelling has established a régime that involves homeopathic medicine which has really helped relieve Buddy’s discomfort while preventing him from going onto strong medicines to provide relief. He also just helped my friend whose dog had eye issues with detached retinas and probably saved his vision. If he doesn’t know what to do, he will provide good references to see specialists. We have complete trust in this practice. The office staff is super as well. I really feel like they care about my dog’s well being. I strongly recommend them.
