Where do I start? I couldn't have picked a better a place to take my 12 year old husky mix. I've known Dr Ward for many years, his knowledge and compassion is outstanding. We found out that Juneau had a major hip fracture something only surgery could fix. Juneau is 12 years old and this was a major surgery for her. Dr. Ward was very compassionate and straightforward in going over the pros and cons of the process and gave me time to decide in what direction I wanted to go for her. This was a 50 50 chance for her healing and recovery and he knew I had a big decision to make. After deciding on going through with the surgery Dr. Ward was very helpful and informative in letting me know everything he wanted to do to insure the best outcome for her. The surgery was a great success and only 9 days after her surgery she was able to get up on her own and take steps without support. Even though this a long recovery for her she has proven to be strong and thrive to get better. She goes in for Lazer therapy 2 times a week and loves to see the staff every time we walk through the door. I'm so grateful for the Doctors and staff at Johnston Animal Hospital and I just want to say thank you for everything you do for our furbabies!

Apr 03, 2025 · Danielle ParrishThe staff & doctors at Johnston Animal Hospital are the best. A few weeks ago I had to cancel an appointment because my mother had passed away. A few days later I received a card in the mail signed by everyone expressing their sympathy. They take excellent care of my dog.
Apr 30, 2025 · Lori Bass _ Staff - CarrollMSThe Dr Ward and Dr Potter and their staff are very knowledgeable, compassionate and caring individuals. We have nothing but great things to say about the care they have given our fur babies past and present. The compassion they showed when we had to have our 18 yr old baby put to sleep due to health issues was heartfelt and sincere. We will continue to use their service for all our furbabies!
Apr 18, 2024 · Connie GilmoreI absolutely love everyone here at Johnston Animal Hospital. They care about my furbaby like their own. Ryder, doesn't want for anything while he's there for daycare or boarding. Nothing like having a home away from home for my furbaby ❤️
Mar 18, 2025 · S forbesVery nice new facility. I appreciate that Dr. Ward was able to see us when we called on a work in. Our kitten O’Malley had stolen a pancake from my grandson and thought it would be a good idea to run into the kitchen to eat it where our food crazy dog Thelma was. Well Thelma thought he brought her the pancake so she quickly snatched it out of O’Malley’s mouth leaving a gash in his lip. Luckily the tear didn’t need stitches but Dr. Ward kindly gave him a shot of antibiotics and pain meds. O’Malley had actually ripped hi lip more after I put him in his travel crate. After I got inside Johnston Animal Hospital O’Malley calmed down and was purring because they use the plug in pheromones to help calm your pets. Everyone was very nice and caring. Again, we are very thankful they were able to see us the same day. O’Malley is healing up good.
