Our hospital is a full service practice offering our patients comprehensive general, emergency and specialty medicine and surgery for both large and small animal patients. With 5 small animal and 4 large animal doctors we can care for everything from routine wellness and vaccination visits to complex reproductive, orthopedic, and ophthalmic surgeries. Non- traditional therapy is also in our arsenal such as Shockwave, Acupuncture and rehabilitative physical therapy. |

| You will find a large selection of high quality diets including Hill’s Science Diet age specific formulas and Prescription diet therapeutic foods. We also carry select Waltham and Purina specialty diets for allergies and other medical conditions. Our shampoos, dental care product, treats and flea medications are all carefully chosen by our veterinary staff for safety and effectiveness unlike many over the counter products which can actually harm your pet. When visiting our hospital please take a moment to look through the “ Behind the Scenes” and “Our Patients” photo albums. Most clients never get the opportunity to see how “high tech” modern veterinary medicine can be – so we created a “tour” to show you what happens in the treatment and surgical areas of our hospital. We love all our patients but we are proud to be trusted with some of the top show dogs, cats and horses in the country. Our books show Westminster winners and Vogue “feline” models not to mention some just great clients and the champions of their hearts. |

| Our History |
|
The Hospital in the 1960's |
| Over the years Reidsville Veterinary Hospital has continued to grow in both expanded services and larger and larger clinical space. When established by Dr. Fred Coates in 1941 RVH was a 99% farm animal practice with Dr. Coates occasionally receiving payment in produce! In the 1970”s a second practitioner was added and by 1980 with the addition of a third doctor the practice was 50% small and 50% large animal patients. |

With the changing needs of the community our practice once more required a transformation. A patient mix of 70% small animal and 30% large animal – mostly equine – was accommodated by the major addition of a greatly expanded small animal treatment and surgery room and an indoor large animal treatment facility. This specially equipped area contains a padded stall, cattle shute, hydraulic lift and padded surgical area. This addition allows our large animal doctors to safely perform procedures on food animal patients that would be difficult or impossible in a barn setting. Our equine patients are accommodated in stocks and padded stalls allowing advanced treatment, diagnostic, hospitalization and reproductive procedures. |

| And soon we will grow again! By the year 2011 the NC Department of Transportation will expand Hwy 87 and take our present location for an extended exit ramp. We are in the process of planning our new state of the art veterinary hospital and upscale boarding kennel. We are excited to be able to continue improving our services to the citizens of Rockingham and surrounding counties and we look forward to another 65 years of caring for your animal family. |
