Roanoke Animal Hospital Welcome

Rescue Dogs

We are so fortunate to work with a wonderful rescue group, Small Paws. They normally rescue Bichon's from shelters. In an effort to help in any way they could with Hurricane Harvey, they brought 7 mixed breed dogs back from the Houston shelter. These were dogs that were already in the shelter looking for homes but had yet to find one. This clears up space for 7 hurricane dogs to be helped in their place.

Small Paws pays for any medical treatment these dogs need (including heartworm treatment and spaying or neutering), then provide foster homes until the dogs find their forever home.

If you would like to help this wonderful group out, you can donate to:https://donate.smallpawsrescue.org/,

10 Reasons Why Dental Health is Important

Mosquito Season!

Did you know that, according to the National Heartworm Society, there were an average of 50-100 heartworm positive dogs per clinic in our reporting area in 2016. We had 7 heartworm positive dogs at Roanoke Animal Hospital in the same year. Prevention is easy and less expensive than treatment. Give us a call so we can help keep your fur babies protected.

To learn more about heartworms, where they come from and why your pets are at risk, follow the attached links.

We are working to become a Fear Free Practice

What is Fear Free and why do we care? New studies have shown that when a dog or cat experiences fear it is ingrained in the amygdala forever. So when that dog or cat comes into any veterinary hospital and has a bad experience, that animal will remember every time it returns to the vet.

We feel strongly that every time your pet visits us they should enjoy that visit as much as possible. And we are working hard to make that a reality.
