Animals First Veterinary Service

I have a 14 year old beagle who is arthritic & has normal aging issues. Dr. Lori & her team are wonderful in caring for him. Dr. Lori is all about diet & does not give us endless & expensive prescriptions like our last vet. She gets right down on the floor with our dog, exams him thoroughly & lovingly. I am thrilled to have found Dr. Lori’s practice. It’s a bit of a drive for us, but even if it was further away, I would continue to go to Animals First - very well named.

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Lori and her team. It is such a good feeling to finally find a vet who is kind, patient and knowledgeable. I never once felt rushed during our visit, she was happy to answer all my questions. She also didn't push any additional services that she didn't think was necessary unlike other conventional vets have in the past with me. I love that she does both conventional and holistic medicine, it is rare to find a vet who truly does both! I feel very relieved now that I found her and know that she will take good care of my furbaby. Thank you Dr. Lori and team!

We absolutely love Dr. Lori Blankenship and her team at Animals first. They have been such a blessing for us as we seek the best treatment plans for our dog, Lavender. The staff is very warm and knowledgeable. I feel like I really know them and they know our family. I couldn't say enough to express how highly I reccomend Animals first.

I don't know what I would have done without Dr. Blankenship! My golden has had allergy issues for as long as I could remember and he always had yeasty ears. Dr. Blankenship created a diet plan for me to use on him and this is the clearest I've ever seen his ears! Not only that his allergies have been better, but his coat is soft and shiny and he's so much more lively now that he has shed some weight. My GSD normally talks a lot at the vet no matter how much I run with him beforehand, but he was the calmest he's ever been in the care of Dr. Blankenship and her staff! I am very pleased with the service that I received, especially with how they handled both of my boys. Dr. Blankenship is extremely knowledgeable and up to date on current medicine. I didn't feel judged or pushed about decisions I wanted to make about my dog's health. I love that they genuinely care about the pet's health and not about racking up your bill with unnecessary treatments/items like some places. This will forever be my go-to vet! So glad I have found this place!

Amazing people who actually care about animals! They are committed to figuring out and fixing the cause of the problem instead of putting a band aid on it and pushing you along! They give you options to keep your pet happy and healthy. My Beagle was diagnosed with cancer and I truly believe we had extra time with him because of Dr. Lori and her educated us. I grew up on a farm and I’ve had more animals then I can count, I wouldn’t trade her for anything or anyone. I will continue to travel the hour it takes to come see them.
