About Us: At Appalachian Vet, we believe in taking care of our veterinarians just as much as they take care of their patients. Veterinary medicine is a demanding career, especially in large animal practice. That’s why we make conscious efforts to prioritize team wellness and growth, ensuring that you benefit from our collective success. Here, collaboration is key; we encourage innovative ideas, methods, and techniques to enhance the care we provide.

What We Offer: Appalachian Vet provides 100% of the large animal services you'd expect from a general practice veterinary clinic. Additionally, we have referral access to a local university just 15 minutes away for emergency surgical cases or those requiring intensive care and hospitalization. Our clinical team sees a wide range of cases, giving you the opportunity to practice a broad array of skills across various species from performance equines to hobby homesteaders. We also emphasize continuous learning through internal training and educational initiatives.

Work-Life Balance: We’ve developed an adaptable system to minimize stressful on-call rotations, reducing the fear of the unknown, and ensuring 24/7 clinical support. Our innovative technology helps doctors stay connected with clients while also enabling you to completely disconnect at the end of the day.
