We develop individualized preventive care plans and are Fear Free certified, AAHA accredited, and Feline Friendly, balancing high standards with consideration of clients’ financial capabilities. Externship / Opportunities We have a daily shift that primarily sees same-day, sick appointments, providing great opportunities to encounter emergencies. One of our DVMs is the local shelter’s veterinarian, offering chances to perform surgeries and gain behind-the-scenes shelter experience. Our equipment includes digital dental radiography, digital radiography, ultrasound, in-house CBC/Chemistry/urine analyzer, and multiple SNAP tests. The hospital is located in the Blue Ridge mountains, about a half-hour from Asheville, with local amenities within walking distance. There are seasonal opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities, and we invite you to extern with us.
