Great Staff and facility. Highly recommend DVM Colleen Smith and her staff for any owner looking to holistically treat their beloved pet. They took excellent care of our Project K-9 Hero Ambassador, K-9 Axel, who has Lung Carcinoma, Pannus, Dermatitis, and Megaesophagus! We will be taking all of our retired K-9 Heroes to the Chattanooga Holistic Animal Institute when feasible!

I literally drive from Nashville to Chattanooga; that’s how much I love this vet clinic. They truly care about animals, you never walk into what feels like a stressful environment and they are very reasonably priced. I only wish they had weekend hours. Otherwise, it’s probably the best vet experience I’ve had and they practice true holistic medicine. Highly recommended!

They are very nice people and very attentive to details. My pups get excellent care and are handled lovingly. The vet and tech are very knowledgeable and skilled. CHAI is the best.

They saved my dogs life! I love CHAI! They care about my dog the way I care about my dog because he is family! I love that the listen to what the owner has to say about the pet and put the pets needs before it all! I highly recommend them and would not go anywhere else!

Amazing vets – wouldn’t take my dog Clover anywhere else. Excellent groomer. They have boarding as well but I’ve never used the service. Western and holistic vet medicine. Modern and super clean clinic.

Absolutely love the experience here and both the doctor and the staff are fabulous. I have looked for a healthier way to treat my animals for years and this is it! I know that Dr Smiths acupuncture allowed my lab a more pain free life as she became elderly and had hip issues. Highly recommend this clinic.

Our Dundee age 15 &1/2 has had bad arthritis and has been deaf for over two years. His vet said he had done all he could for him. Dundee was really down when we heard about Dr. Smith. Under Dr. Smith’s care, treatments, special medicines and diet (which he loves), Dundee is much improved. He is more alert, can walk better and can almost get up by himself. We believe, hope and pray that with Dr. Smith’s care, Dundee will continue to get better. If you love your pets, she is the vet you need.

This place is incredible! I am so happy I finally found a great vet! I moved to TN a couple years ago and have had a very difficult time finding a vet. My cat is now old and suffering from CKD and truly needs a vet who’s competent and cares. It is so scary to have a sick pet and not know who to turn to. CHAI has a great atmosphere and has totally improved the quality of life for my cat. I am so thankful!

The staff were so knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive that I will tell all my pet loving friends about them. Thank you, CHAI!

They were so so caring and gentle with my cat. They not only worked me into their busy schedule, but took the time to examine her and treat her for me. The doctor explained everything so that I understood what was going on and how to care for my girl. The entire staff came over to tell her how sweet she was and how pretty her eyes were. Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job and for being such caring people.

Extremely happy with our first visit to CHAI!!! Felt extra extra cared for! Kara & Dr. Smith are very helpful & educate you so much! Scout was also pleased with all the love & treats they had for him. Found out all kinds of new info on vaccines, nutrition, dental cleanings, & microchipping. Excited to start some new & healthier routines for my pup!!
