Friendship Animal Hospital

I brought my cat Sarah in at the beginning of the week. The staff were great, the exam was thorough, and they took xrays. They gave me a referral to Care Animal Hospital for further care. Sarah has been on medication and unable to urinate on her own. I was terribly worried and called Friendship Animal Hospital earlier today to tell them the situation. They told me to bring Sarah in right away. They expressed her very full bladder, and Sarah is now safe and resting. The staff did the procedure with me in the room so that I could observe them so that I could do it now myself and not have her in discomfort. They took their time to explain and also told me to call with any questions and to absolutely call to make an appointment to come in if I have any issues doing it for Sarah. Sarah and I would like to thank the entire staff at Friendship Animal Hospital for their service and kindness.

Dr Rich Panuska is such a wonderful veterinarian. My cat is very vocal but he and his staff handle her with great care. I definitely recommend him and his friendly, caring staff to take good care of your fur baby!! Thank you for all you all do!!!

Friendship Animal hospital is by far the Best fit for Max our 9 yr old black lab(mixed). We tried an extended stay at a Pineville dog kennel for the first time- 13 nights over 17 days and while he got to socialize with many dogs and play outside for 4 hrs. He came home lethargic both times. He also came home with kennel cough and a 105* temperature. Needless to say the more expensive kennel cost more per night and the expense of the emergency vet visit and 2 required medications cost me double!!! We are canceling the future kennel stays and hoping for a refund on the unused nights. We are only going to board Max at his Vet and with their great care teams! Max is so excited every time we just pull into Friendships parking lot he can Hardly contain himself - before rushing inside! Thanks to you all - this is the best Vet we have ever had in my 6 decades of pets. W.

I would like to give this place a -5!! My dog died and 2 EXPERTS say he should have been on meds a year earlier to have given him more life!! Please if you love your animals take them as far away from this place as you can. Don't have what happened to my dog happen to yours!! My lawyer is looking into the vet notes and bloodwork for my dog now. Nothing will bring him back and it is my mistake for staying with a vet who can't put aside his own ego to admit he doesn't know evetything!!!!

Friendship Animal Hospital came to our rescue. My dog and I are staying with friends in Pineville as our home in Asheville has no water or power. Pearl was overdue for her monthly Librela shot as our Vet was in a similar predicament. My friends recommended Friendship, I called Thursday morning but had doubts about being able to get Pearl an appointment soon. I noticed that Pearl starts to labor more as the shot’s due date approaches. Anna Marie answered my call, she was very understanding and wonderful, working us in later that morning. The Vet Tech who assessed Pearl was equally wonderful and helpful. I wish I could remember his name. Doctor Premo graciously gave Pearl an exam and the Librela shot. Everyone from start to end of our visit was caring and empathic of our situation. Pearl improved later that afternoon and one of my friends made note of her improvement. Thank you all at Friendship Animal Hospital!

Excellent thoughtful, professional, and knowledgeable staff from front desk, to Vet Assistants, and Vet. My dog is feeling better than she has in ages, thanks to the care, diagnostics, and treatment. Highest recommendations from this dog and cat momma.
