Watauga Animal Hospital

Highly recommend this clinic. They are amazing. We have a younger dog that has bad hips and knees. They take excellent care with her. We also have a 28 year old cat that is still with us thanks to their excellent care. We were lucky to find them. We came for another opinion on our dog in the beginning. We have stayed with them, for care of all our animals. Both young and old.

The entire staff and vets really do care about their patients and their caretakers. I was bringing my old man cat in 3 times a week for over a year to get Sub Q fluids and got to know everyone very well. I was always welcomed warmly and my cat was always treated so carefully and with the upmost compassion. When it was time to plan for end of life care for my cat I was not only effected but so was some of the staff. It was a very hard day for everyone as the staff had become attached caring for my sweet boy. Anytime I’ve had an emergency situation the staff has checked in with me, given me their personal phone numbers, offered to send records and notes to emergency vets. I am so thankful to have found Dr. Tran, Mindy and everyone that works for this amazing company. They truly care for our pets as if they were their own. I hope we can all offer each other the level of love and support they have given me and my pets over the years. We could all be so lucky to be cared for like that 🩷

We've been taking our pup here for a couple years now and they do an amazing job! All the staff we've met are so sweet and helpful. When our dog had a sprained leg, they got him in right away to make sure everything was ok. They also did a great job with our pup's neuter when he was a year old.

The lady at the front desk was NOT very welcoming, but I quickly overlooked this once I met Dr. Tran. She was fantastic with my dog! She was gentle, kind, and helped alleviate my dog's symptoms. I was so pleased that I even referred my grand-doggie to her. I love my grand-doggie so I wouldn't refer her to just anyone. Unfortunately however, my daughter and grand-dog didn't have the same good experience. They showed up, expecting to meet with Dr. Tran, and were "greeted" (not warmly) by another Vet (I didn't even know there was another vet at WAH). This vet totally ignored my daughter's concerns, talked down to her, and showed an absolute lack of empathy. My daughter described the experience as "awful". This is so disappointing especially since I was the one who referred them there. Dog mamas are already nervous about having to take their baby to the vet. It's a stressful experience. So the least the staff could do is demonstrate warmth and empathy.

The staff is FANTASTIC! They have been so sweet to my two dogs MayMay and Max. I needed a quick last minute appointment and was able to snag one. They were so gentle and really took the time to listen to my concerns.
