Leavells Animal Hospital

I had been bringing my dogs to Leavells for 5 years until we had to put him to sleep due to old age. The entire staff were always wonderful. They always recognized who we were and engaged us. The treatment was always fair and prices were reasonable. When we decided to rescue another dog, we initially went to another vet closer to where we moved. This turned out to be a mistake after a horrible cyst removal. We called Leavells and, without hesitation, they welcomed us with open arms. Within 3 weeks of the surgery, we had heard from Dr. Aragon easily a half dozen times regarding how Murphy was healing; the other vet still not called once to check post op. Every step of the way, the doctors and staff at Leavells awe me with their caring, support, and expertise. It’s a solid hour drive to bring out dog there now, but I still do not flinch or hesitate.

Dr. Aragon was so kind to my wife and I.
We had to help our little one of 11 years cross the Rainbow Bridge:(
Very difficult time for us, she was VERY compassionate and the kind card hand written card we received made us tear up
Thanks you so much

Incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and decently priced. Accepts CareCredit, too!
It’s hard to find a vet that takes an intuitive, ‘let’s not rush into expensive procedures’ approach to veterinary care, but Leavells Animal Hospital is just that. Their quality of care is consistently higher and their prices overall cheaper than Banfield and other vets. They put the comfort and welfare of animals first.
The vets and assistants a breath of fresh air. The assistants are always perky and the vets are always friendly, compassionate, and facilitating. You can tell that everyone there really loves animals. It’s a far cry from the moody assistants and cold, distant vets I’ve had to deal with before.
I’m always comfortable asking questions, even if they’re unrelated to why I brought my pet in. The vets give thorough explanations and are all about treatment efficiency– they take the simplest (and often least expensive) diagnostic and treatment routes first and will recommend OTC medications before expensive prescriptions. They provide the most detailed and thoroughly explained estimates I’ve ever been given. The office also accepts CareCredit, which makes things a lot easier when you’re stuck doing something pricey.
The wait for an appointment has never been longer than a few days, and the only time I’ve ever had to wait past my appointment time to be seen was when there was an emergency. The receptionists are wonderful. They’re helpful, friendly, and do what they can to fit you in quickly if you have a pressing concern.
The atmosphere in the office is warm and comfortable overall. I’ve ended up in a lot of surprisingly enjoyable conversations with fellow pet owners even though I usually keep to myself.
My only wish is that their office visit fee was either a little bit lower or at least waived for the initial visit if you end up having to bring your pet in for something like an x-​ray or surgery on their advice. While it’s reasonable considering their location and likely overhead, I’m still hesitant to call the vet when I probably should because of the office visit fee.

Leavells Animal Hospital is always professional and always caring toward my animals. I took my cat Marley here when he was ill and ended up having to put him down. Yes I know I’m a guy and it’s just a cat… but he wasnt just a cat he was my friend for many many years. I couldn’t go back in this animal hospital for awhile but I found that other Vets in the area weren’t as good, so I eventually had to go back and I’m glad i did. Sorry to be Debbie Downer on that one, but it was very much a part of my experience here. Laughter is the cure for grief but love is stronger than death. Marley ~
