Dr. Jim Watlington has been serving the Bedford/Rutherford County area since 1986. Shortly after graduation, he worked two years in Alabama, then worked two years at Shelbyville Veterinary Clinic before purchasing it. In November of 2003, he sold the Shelbyville practice and purchased Indian Hills Animal Hospital.

This place is the best and sadly I've tried many for my two large lab mixes. The front desk lady is not friendly at all, but once you get past her to Dr. Watlington, you'll be fine. He takes his time to talk with me about whats going on with my fur babies and is very thorough without going overboard and making me pay for tests that aren't neccessary. I always feel better after I leave and so do my pets. I highly reccomend Indian Hills.

I just started taking my two dogs here a few weeks ago (just by sheer luck, I've had to go up there 3 times in the last 3 weeks) 😂
But honestly I could not be happier! They are very attentive, their prices are reasonable, and they are so good about fitting us in! I love it there and the staff is great. They're stuck with us forever now 🤓
My "Rosie" and "Hailey" both highly recommend! (and so do I!)

The staff is friendly and show concern for both of our babies. We have a lab/pit mix and so many other vet clinics want her to wear a muzzle because she is scared. They don't make her wear one because it scares her even more. They take their time letting her get used to them. They love on her and take great care of her.

I have been coming to this office for several years and the care has been great. Recently I was to board my Cairn Terrier and prior to dropping him off he had diarrhea. Dr. Watlington let me board and treated my dog while there. He called several times to give me updates on how he was doing and what he was doing for him giving me peace of mind while we were away. I love this office!

This is the worst vet I have ever dealt with. "Dr" Watlington is arrogant and talks down to people. His wife is,a horrible groomer and his front staff is rude. My cat was injured after being grounded, he was fine when I dropped him off. Do not trust these people.

I took my pup there for his shots and senior check up, and I went back immediately after being greeted with kind waves. My dog is known to have aggression issues and he did amazing. All the staff there are very good at handling the animals and keeping them calm! Would recommend!!!

I would like to thank Dr Watlington and his staff for over 15 years of the services they have provided for my son. I came in yesterday to lay to rest my sweet boy, who has been seen by Dr Watlington since he was 5 weeks old, which was 15 years ago now.
Yesterday was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, and I can't imagine going though it anywhere else. Paco was loved tremendously by both of his parents and he was loved by the staff at Indian Hills just as much.
I have always felt relieved to board both of my dogs at Indian Hills knowing there were in a safe loving place. The staff has
