Veterinarians near Elizabethton

“I didn't have a good experience here but no fault of the staff. I found out there my dog had cancer“

“Good people that take care of your fur baby's. They have always taken care of my great dane Samoa Jane and she can be a double handful at times. The only downfall is the cost. If you live on a fixed budget like me it's really hard to come up with the extra money. Other than the cost which comes with pretty much every veterinarian clinic I have no complaints!!!“

Tests, diagnosis, treatment, follow up, was communicated very clearly and precise. I will be staying with this team for both my dogs.“

“In honor of National French Bulldog Day, I wanted to share my baby’s story.

August entailed a limp. What felt small at first quickly became overwhelming. Zeus was taken to the vet and diagnosed with luxating patella, and surgery was scheduled about a month out. During that waiting period, his condition continued to worsen.

September entailed devastating clarity. At his scheduled surgical appointment, it was discovered that Zeus did not have luxating patellas after all. We were then referred to the University of Tennessee Veterinary Medical Center, where they performed extensive testing and still couldn’t find a definitive cause. During this time, Zeus lost the ability to walk entirely and began army crawling everywhere he went. He was placed on strict cage rest, was hardly active, and had to be hand-fed.

October entailed cautious hope. UT started Zeus on a new medication that showed promising results for the first couple of weeks. However, after his recheck, the medication was stopped so additional testing could be done, and he quickly went downhill again.

November entailed desperation turning into determination. Zeus was once again unable to walk at all. That’s when we began seeing a veterinarian for acupuncture and laser therapy—truly one of the best decisions we could have ever made for him.

December entailed small victories. We began to see improvements—Zeus was able to stand and take short, inconsistent steps. It wasn’t much, but it was progress, and it gave us hope that we were finally on the right path.

January entailed answered prayers. Zeus is now walking on his own, standing the majority of the time, and able to lift himself up independently. He still has a long road ahead, but we are so grateful for the amazing Dr. Stone and vet technicians at Appalachian Animal Hospital who have supported us, listen to us, and made us feel like family from our first visit in November.“

“I have seen other comments about their prices and yes, they are a bit expensive, but in my experience they are a fantastic veterinary practice! I trust my animals with them and have always received top-notch care from them. I have several cats and will be rescuing another stray cat next week that I have built trust with. The staff here know me by name and know my pets by name. I have never had a bad experience with these fine folks and the care my pets receive is always top-notch. I've been with them for almost a year and a half now and I couldn't be happier. When I take my kitties there, I know they will get the best health services money can buy.“

“I love these folks! Very friendly and so helpful ! They treat the patients so wonderful. It’s clean and always so quick to get in. No wait time practically. You call….they call back. When people love what they do it shows! Thank you for your love and care for my Scottie duo.“
