We've been using Battleground, primarily Dr. Dawson for nearly 10 years! We've used a prior vet In the Franklin area and one for a period in Birmingham. At Battleground, I've always been seen Promptly, felt I was receiving the highest level of care, and Dr. Dawson has always been so kind! We've had to put down a pet and welcomed a new one to our family!! She's been so endearing during both seasons! I have no doubts you will receive kindness from all vets and staff at this business! Love them all! read more

I really like Dr Jim Russell at Battleground Animal Hospital in Franklin. Our cat is immunologically compromised. As a result, he had inflammation of the gums and severe dental disease. Dr Russell performed a near full mouth extraction of teeth leaving Canines for chewing then topping off with antibiotic and steroid injection to facilitate healing. Our cat was almost immediately better. There currently is no more foaming or bleeding that had occurred before Dr Russell performed the surgery. Dr Russell really did an exceptional job. I would highly recommend Dr Russell and Battleground Animal Hospital. read more

Great range of services for exotics; although a bit pricy. Dr Russell is straight forward and knowledgeable. However, I don't like the fact that the staff has to take my pet "in the back", out of the exam room to examine or treat, as I prefer to know what's going on as it happens. read more

I paid 139.00 for a bath for my mini dauchound. She had anal glands at 40.00, teeth brush for 12.00, ear cleaning 40.00 they charge extra for a sanitary trim. The bath was 28.00. The bath includes a bath and nail trim only. They shaved the hair on one paw down to the skin and didn't trim the hair around her paws on other 3. That was over priced for a crappy job! read more

I just moved here and found battleground off reviews to help my Great Dane cause he has on and off ear issues due to seasonal allergies and they are always quick to help. My other dog was taken care of too! They are amazing. I've worked in a vet hospital for years back home and I am 100% comfortable with my dogs getting medical care here from what I've seen and my dogs' experience as a patient. The doctors are great and the staff is friendly. They always love on my dogs when they go. They are quick with med refills and appointment requests which is great and being open on Saturdays is helpful due to work. read more

Battleground Hospital for Animals - Very clean exam rooms. And very spacious - Veterinarians Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

After 15 years of being a client, they turned us away last Friday at 1:30pm when our boy (Max) was having an emergency because they were too busy. They told us to take him to VEG. He died at a place he had never been with vets we didn't know. I entrusted my fur babies to Battleground because I trusted that they were being cared for by the the very best vets with over 75 cumulative years of experience. Max paid the ultimate price of finding out they would not make him a priority during an emergency. I would not recommend these vets. I will never know if Max could have been saved. I have lost hours of sleep and endured so much guilt over having entrusted my boy to these vets. read more

Love this place! Just moved here and Dr. Russell was just wonderful. They have all the recent developments in healthcare and are very knowledgeable!!! And thorough. The receptionist knocked my review down to 4 stars. Why can't these wonderful doctors get good help at the front desk? read more

As always my last visit at Battleground was wonderful. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The Doctors take great care of my pets. I have been going to Battleground for 5 years now-- I can't say enough good things about them. read more

These folks are TOP NOTCH. Our little pup was having bloody stool and using the bathroom for a few days even after visiting a local emergency vet prior to us going to Battleground. We did not have an appointment but decided to show up right before they opened to see if they might be able to squeeze us in. They were more than accommodating and friendly. We saw Dr. Russell and he assured us that everything would be fine and prescribed a new medication that almost immediately fixed all of the issues. I already scheduled an annual visit for my other dog and will definitely be a repeat customer. Class acts all around. read more

I have been taking my dogs to Battleground Hospital since we arrived in Franklin 9 years ago. Throughout the years, they have always made sure to take care of our dogs and our concerns with utmost excellence and care. Most recently, our black lab was sick with a suspected bowel obstruction. Dr. Bob Russell and Dr. Dawson diligently watched over our pup throughout the week to monitor her progress, and when it was evident that surgery was needed, Dr. Dawson performed the surgery promptly to make sure to clear the intestines before further damage was caused. She followed up with us with reports of how the surgery went and how our dog Ellie was healing the following day. I am SO thankful for the vets' and staff's professionalism and extra care at Battleground Hospital. They went above and beyond in caring for Ellie and our family will always be grateful! Thank you!!! read more

They have been absolutely amazing in their care for our dog. From surgeries to checkups, their expertise in the doctors and staff has been exceptional. read more

Battleground Hospital for Animals is a wonderful place. Competent, professional and caring veterinarians and staff. We used BHA for our sweet lab until she passed away and 14 years later we finally have welcomed another canine family member, sweet Finn. We have had routine appoints to surgery and we could not be more pleased and we know Finn is getting the best care. Thank you Dr. Bob, Dr. Jim, and Dr. Garrett and staff. We are so thankful for you all. Bev and Ken read more

So happy I switched to this practice. My 14 year old dog is receiving great, attentive care!

Dr. Bob always takes good care of us. He's a good Dr. and a good communicator. Recommended!

We have brought our Toy Poodle here for grooming for a couple of years. They have a pet portal that never works right. We had a grooming appointment for her today and when my son brought her, they turned him away which made him late for his job because he had to turn around and bring our dog back home. He had just returned home from a trip from New York and woke up extra early just to take her before he worked today. We will be finding another groomer. This was the last straw. We tried too many times and this just keeps happening. They need to get it together! read more

We've been bringing our cats here since they were kittens and have had nothing but the best care! They are so accommodating with appointment availability and have great boarding services as well! read more

Great compassion and experience from Dr Bob. We have found a vet practice that is worth the drive from Nashville.

This was my first visit to Battleground. I just loved Dr. Bob. I brought our two kittens (George and Rigby) in for last round of shots and surgery. Dr. Bob was patient with me and caring to our kittens. He, personally, called later in the day to tell us know how the surgery went and then again called us personally the next day to tell us they were doing well and could be picked up. His personal touch and follow up was wonderful and gave me peace of mind that our kitties were in good hands. I am a veteran cat owner so I did not have many questions but it was so nice to feel like I could've asked all the questions in the world, if I needed to. The staff also gets an A+. The vet tech was very informative and thorough in printing out pricing and explaining procedure, and the reception folks made checking in and out very easy. Great service!! read more

I use the boarding services for my Mini Schnauzer and I have been thoroughly pleased. We've probably boarded our dog with Battleground at least 8 times and we've never had any problems at all (no illnesses, injuries or other concerns). The staff is always so nice to me and to my dog. We won't board anywhere else. read more

Thank you to the team for making our dog's boarding experience such a great one. They even stayed late for us so that we could pick her up when we returned from a VERY long drive...due to traffic we weren't going to get there in time and she was going to have to stay an extra night...we were so thankful to have her back with us. They totally went above and beyond! read more

I've been taking my dogs to Battleground for at least 15 years for yearly vaccinations and also boarding. They have always been knowledgeable and easy to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending them. read more

Very happy to have found this vet! We've seen Dr. Jim twice now and know we have a good long-term fit. We especially appreciate his willingness to explain some of the science as he answers our questions. The building is nice and well kept, and the entire staff seems great. Highly recommended. read more

This is a very friendly veterinary practice in Franklin. While we've seen Dr. Dawson and Dr. Bob Russell the most on our routine appointments. I've had good experience will all 3 of the veterinarians. I have to say Dr. Bob was super gentle with my dog they other day for a routine check-up. I feel like he truly cares about providing the best treatment plan. I highly recommend them if you have a dog you love as a family member. read more

Dr Dawson and all of the staff are amazing at Battleground. They took excellent care of my critically ill dog. They kept me informed of every change and comforted me when it was time to make that difficult decision. Dr. Dawson now cares for my 2 energetic 3 year old boys. Finn and Dane love her! read more

The Staff at Battlegound has taken care of my dog, Rudy since he was a puppy for 13.5 years. They show such love and care for him like family.

All the doctors are great as wellThank you! read more

Brought my bearded dragon a couple years back because he was dragging his arm behind him while he walked. Front desk staff was friendly, but the doctor who saw my poor beardie acted as if he knew barely anything about bearded dragons. I placed my baby on the mat to be examined and naturally he licked it (because duh, thats how they smell) and the vet started saying that he thought my dragon had eaten something off of the table. There was nothing even there for him to eat! He then proceeded to break a long Q-tip in half and began to poke my dragon with it to get him to walk across the table and then to lift up the aforementioned arm that was hurt. I agreed to have an X-ray done and he took my beardie to the back. When the vet returned, he did not show me the X-ray nor did he provide any clear explanation of what was wrong. He essentially told me he didn't know what the problem was and I paid $200 for it. I took him to another hospital and had another X-ray done a few days later and sure enough there was a calcified abscess right on the joint of his elbow. I got to see this scan and to this day have no earthly idea how that abscess could have been missed. Will not return. read more

The staff, vet techs and doctors (particularly Dr. Dawson) are absolutely amazing. These people genuinely care about my pets and have gone above and beyond for me and my fur babies. The quality of care my pets receive is second to none. Any time I have a question or concern about my pets health, I get an answer incredibly quickly via email or phone call. We have two "special needs" animals, and the compassion and understanding that has been exhibited by all at Battleground makes me so appreciative. I just can't imagine finding a better set of people to care for our pets (one cat, one dog). 5 stars, 5 meows and 5 woofs! read more

They gave taken care of now four dogs for us. Always available in an emergency and top notch vet care. At the most critical time, when it was time to say goodbye to our older dogs - they could not have been more compassionate. They even made a hose call for euthanasia which was so much easier on our family. read more

I just spent along time on the phone with a receptionist asking a plethora of questions before we bring home our new puppy as I am interviewing for a vet. She was absolutely wonderful to speak with, very sharp, and extremely pleasant to deal with. If the rest of the practice is as accommodating as she was, this is a really great option. read more

I drive from Nashville to see Dr. Dawson because I trust her so much with my pups and know she treats them like she would her own pups. This is such a compassionate and knowledgeable group of doctors. My pups have lived long and healthy lives thanks to the good care from the team at Battleground. When I lost my 13 year old boxer, the wonderful care, communication, and support from Dr. Dawson and her team gave me such peace of mind that we were always doing the right things to ensure quality of life and keep him very comfortable in his last months with us. read more
