Services
Pet Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect early signs of disease and monitor overall health. Veterinarians assess weight, dental health, organ function, and mobility while providing preventive care guidance. Regular bi-annual exams ensure timely intervention for senior pets and those with chronic conditions.
Dental Care
We offer full dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Digital radiography identifies hidden oral issues while anesthesia ensures thorough, stress-free procedures. Preventive care reduces risks of systemic infections linked to dental disease in pets.
Emergency Care
Emergency services address critical injuries and sudden illnesses during regular business hours. Our team stabilizes patients with trauma, poisoning, or acute symptoms using diagnostic imaging, IV fluids, and pain management before scheduling follow-up care.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser treatments reduce inflammation and accelerate healing for arthritis, surgical wounds, and soft tissue injuries. Non-invasive sessions improve circulation and cellular repair without requiring sedation, offering drug-free pain relief for pets of all ages.
Pet Boarding
Our boarding facility provides secure, comfortable stays with multiple daily play sessions and personalized attention. Medicated pets receive monitored care while amenities like turndown service and photo updates ensure pet and owner peace of mind during extended absences.

We started coming here when we moved to Roanoke and we could t be happier! We love Dr. McDermott and all the office staff. Rose gets so excited every time she comes in the office. Also she has boarded with them several times and she always looks so well cared for in the pics they send. We will be coming here as long as we are in the are! Thank you NBAH! With love, The Edelin- Gough Family

Unique animal hospital tucked away at Natural Bridge. Unique meaning? One-of-a-kind. Could not ask for a more caring and dedicated veterinarian and staff. Some may say "they're pricey ", I say " you get what you pay for, top quality ". They go the extra mile it takes. Dr McDermott saved my precious Mac's life. There is no doubt in my mind he would not be alive today if it was not for her. Mac is cancer free almost five years later. They have my vote. Two thumbs up, you cannot go wrong.
