Roanoke Animal Hospital

I've had the chance to visit a couple of vets in a different area with my previous pets, and while they provided a decent experience, it wasn't until I discovered Roanoke Animal Hospital over a year ago that I realized what I had been missing. Let me tell you, they are on a whole different level! The love and care they show for each animal from the moment they walk in is truly something special. It's like they have a magical connection with them right off the bat. The owners of the hospital are simply amazing, loving, and all-around wonderful people. Their staff is equally incredible, reflecting the owners' vision and creating an exceptional atmosphere. Despite having qualified vets closer to my home, I willingly make a 45-minute drive to Roanoke Animal Hospital. Why? Because their level of expertise and genuine care is unparalleled. When I arrive, they shower my pet with so much love and attention—it's heartwarming. Trust me, the drive is absolutely worth it. Roanoke Animal Hospital has exceeds all my expectations every trip. They go above and beyond to ensure each animal receives the best possible care. I couldn't ask for a better veterinary experience.

I seriously question this being a fear free vet. I took my baby in for an ultrasound and they called me that they couldn’t finish because she was crying and moving around. So later that evening I see she’s all cut up from being shaved. No wonder she cried since they nicked and cut her all over. I spoke with the administrator. Her response? It’s because she’s old and has paper thin skin. So it’s acceptable and their standard of care. I personally groom her myself and have never cut her. This is a staff or razor issue that they aren’t remorseful about. She told me they have “special” clippers to get closer to the skin. So then why is there so much hair where she was cut? Honestly I was just looking for an apology until I was told it’s acceptable to them. Be careful where you take your pets. Accidents happen but be careful where accidents are their standard of care!

We needed help fast with a health concern that had developed with our senior dog during a cross country move. We were having trouble finding a vet that could get us in timely, but Roanoke Animal Hospital saved the day - they had us in the next day. Dr. Blaszak was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring, performed the necessary procedure and our boy was on the mend. The staff in general were great and we're so grateful for the service they provided. We've already scheduled our annual appointments for both our furkids with them!

My dog had to have dental work. LOTS of dental work. Price was VERY reasonable, we were called all day to update us on the progress, BINGO, our dog, came home a little woozy but very comfortable. I LOVE THIS PRACTICE. They really love animals and they treat each one like a special "child of God". Can't say enough about this group. (And I married a Veterinarian - not one of these). THE BEST. Va Tech grads are brilliant.
