We believe the best way to promote overall health is through preventative care. Regular checkups allow us to establish a baseline in your pet's health and make us aware of any changes that may indicate future problems. We highly recommend bringing your pet in for regular exams. Often times health problems that go undetected can become more serious issues when left untreated, so checkups are important even when your pet appears healthy. Give us a call today to learn more about preventative medicine and how we can care for your pet.
We are proud to provide Knoxville, TN, and surrounding communities with state-of-the-art veterinary surgical procedures. We believe in utilizing the highest level of medical technology, and our surgeons are experienced and highly trained. Our doctors continually strive to advance their surgical skills and many are trained in more advanced soft tissue and orthopedic procedures.
We have a full on-site laboratory that allows us to efficiently utilize tests and equipment to help quickly diagnose and better care for your pet. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of service and care, and our on-site laboratory is one way we achieve that goal. We also utilize a reference laboratory for additional diagnostics that we cannot run in the office such as biopsies and specialized blood and infectious disease tests.

I used Central Vet years ago and moved out of town. Moved back and chose a vet closer to where we lived. It was not a good fit. We remembered how much we loved them and so we went back. Central Vet is still amazing. Friendly staff, minimal wait even tho we had a last minute appointment. The Dr. B was gentle and loving to our nervous pup. Excellent follow up. We are so happy to be back!

Central Veterinary was there for my dog when she needed them in an emergency situation, and we were unable to see our regular vet. The staff were caring, courteous, thorough, and efficient. I had no doubt that my dog was getting excellent care. Dr. B. was even kind enough to call a couple of days later and check on Scarlet. I would never hesitate to use them again, and should I ever be in search of a new clinic, I know where I'll go! Thank you so much everyone at Central!

Ruby and I really was made to feel comfortable in the office. They where quick to get us back to be seen and Ruby enjoyed the love she received. This is our new vet and I would 100% recommend to everyone looking for a vet who cares and will take care of you and not treat you like you are at a used car lot.

At my previous vet office, I became accustomed to a very impersonal experience- it was unwelcoming and it always felt like my dog was an inconvenience. Yet, the second I stepped foot in Central vet, every single worker was so kind and welcoming and really affectionate with my dog. The vet techs in the vet were incredibly patient with my dog and truly showed that their goal was to make each pet feel comfortable and loved. It was also incredibly affordable, which fortified my opinion of this vet. I was truly blown away and highly recommend this place to everyone I can!

Central Ave Veterinary hospital has been hands down the best vet I've ever been to. Their entire staff is kind, understanding, and very accommodating. Dr. B and Dr. Patterson are both amazing! They both take time to talk with you and answer any questions. I truly feel like they care so much about what they're doing. I wasn't able to get the names of the ladies up at the front desk, but they were also incredible and deserve recognition! Best customer service I've ever seen from a vet! Thank you so much Central Ave Veterinary!

Central has a gifted and empathetic staff, and their skill with companion animals is admirable. They are practiced at managing relationships with their human and four-legged clients. The staff always handles themselves in a professional manner. They are considerate and respectful in their actions and tone, and kind in demeanor. I highly recommend Central for the veterinary needs of your furry best friends.

Recently adopted Mr. Bacon Bit, and he had hurt his leg about10 days ago. Of course before I've gotten insurance for him. My neighbor said this is where she goes. I'm so glad she recommended it for me. They were very nice and professional. Could tell they really care about your pet and you. Most reasonably priced veterinarian I've ever been too. They even gave me different options to fit my budget. He got medication and now is back to himself.

Dr. Truett was amazing. Not only did she deeply care about my dog BamBam, she cared about her owner too. She was always informative, caring and very trust worthy. This isn't just a job to her and it shows. She does a marvelous job! If every vet was like her the world would be a better place. I have never been so pleased with the care we received. Not only is Dr. Truett amazing so is every single staff member.
They went above and beyond my expectations. They not only cared for my dog they even let her cuddle up in their laps while they did paperwork. Their faces lit up when they saw my dog and they were very eager to help. I can't say this enough, thank you all from the bottom of my heart! You all saved my babies life! I will forever be great full for all of you.
