Preventive care

Do not hesitate to bring your little friends here! Dr. Jones and the staff of Haywood Animal Hospital are friendly and welcoming. We had a great experience bringing our little lady in for an emergency when we couldn’t get in with our normal vet. Dr. Jones gave us peace of mind and walked us through her treatment plan. Hazel, our cat, normally has a really hard time at the vet. However this visit was smooth and not long winded. Hazel was calmer than we have ever seen at the vet. We attribute this to three things: 1.) Being able to accompany her in the examination room. 2.) Dr. Jones calm demeanor + experience. 3.) Swift and well executed exam that was thorough, but not long-winded. Hazel is a happy camper and we will be back! :)

We can not say enough good things about the Haywood Animal Hospital. Our dog Buddy needed his toe and a large growth removed. They took excellent care of him and were so kind and caring. Dr. Wilfert was great and called personally to check on Buddy several times when we had concerns. We highly recommend her!

We were really impressed when entering the office. First off, it looked very clean and smelled wonderful, which can't be said about several veterinarian clinics we've been to. The staff were amazing: very friendly and attentive. They were so sweet to Cassie and took their time and explained everything that they were going to do for her, as well as all the upfront costs and all post treatments we needed to do when we got home. Dr Jones was kind enough to contact us the next day about her previous lab work that had been done. So, all in all, a great first visit, and I'm glad we have found a wonderful new vet family for our furbaby...❤️‍🩹❤️

I travel for work, and I'm grateful that I found Haywood Animal Hospital. I have a 9yr old German Shepherd who's been dealt with a difficult life. Dr. Jones and the rest were very meticulous and just overall professionals. From the moment I stepped inside I knew my boy and I found the right place. Very communicative. I could write an essay on how happy I was with his visit and surgery. Jack is doing fantastic.

Haywood Animal Hospital was a breath of fresh air. When our vet couldn’t take us for a week and another local pet hospital couldn’t take us for a week, we turned to HAH and they made time for us. We were very concerned because we suspected that our dog had swallowed a foreign object and was unable to eliminate. The doctor was very kind, did what was necessary and explained everything clearly to us. They had us come back the next morning for repeat x-rays and we were advised that all was well. Again, everyone we dealt with was kind, loving and truly cared about us and our dog. We were very pleased.
