Mountain Veterinary Hospital is a full service small animal practice providing conventional medical and surgical treatment for dogs and cats as well as physical therapy, rehabilitation, and alternative medicine.
Alternative medicine includes acupuncture, stem cell/platelet rich plasma therapy, and Chinese herbal medicine. We have an underwater treadmill, two Class IV lasers, in house chemisrtry, digital radiography and ultrasound. We also work with the local humane society to provide free surgical services for fractures and other complicated surgical cases on adoptable homeless pets.
We have three doctors on staff currently, planning on a 4th soon. Our doctors and staff work collaboratively. Two of our doctors are graduates of the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine and have Master’s degrees in education. There is an emphasis on continuing education and staff training, so you can expect extensive mentoring and possible surgical opportunities.
Free housing is available during your stay.

We are able to tailor the externship to the level of the student.

We are open Monday through Saturday with no evening appointments. Hours are flexible and open for discussion.
