Our Story and Mission
Founded with the goal of strengthening the human–animal bond, Andrews Veterinary Hospital has grown into a respected cornerstone of the local community. From the very beginning, our purpose has been simple yet powerful: to combine advanced veterinary medicine with genuine compassion for every patient.
We believe every pet deserves attentive, personalized care, and we take the time to ensure visits are as comfortable as possible. Our team is committed to providing exceptional medicine and surgery while also fostering lasting relationships with the families we serve. Many clients even travel more than 30 miles to see us—a reflection of the trust and confidence built over years of service.
High Standards of Care
Our philosophy is grounded in the idea that quality medicine should be accessible to all pets. That means delivering the best possible care, whether your pet needs a routine check-up or urgent attention. With in-house diagnostic equipment, we can provide accurate answers quickly—resources not widely available in our surrounding area.
We are also the only clinic in the area to carry antivenom and offer rattlesnake vaccinations, helping us meet the unique needs of pets in our mountain community.
Proudly Local. Privately Owned. Focused on You.
As an independently owned practice, we take pride in serving our neighbors, not shareholders. Our roots run deep in this community, and every decision we make centers around what’s best for our clients, their pets, and our town. We value relationships over transactions and believe that personalized, compassionate care can only come from a team that truly knows and loves its community.
Whether it’s fitting in a same-day appointment, taking extra time to comfort a nervous pet, or supporting local shelters and events, we’re here because we care deeply and personally. That’s what it means to be proudly local and privately owned.
