Ohio Valley Animal Clinic

We love OVAC. Josh is so thorough when caring for your animals. He took great care of one of our older dogs before he had to be put down then has also figured out another problem with our current dog which ended up getting surgery twice. I won’t take any animal to anyone else! I also highly recommend getting animal insurance if available. It was a lifesaver on my dogs surgery twice.

I took my little guy to be neutered. The staff is amazing and kind. The prices are very affordable. It was great to find a local vet who sees rabbits. Thank you!

They got my dog, Rosie, in very quickly and were extremely kind to us! I would 100% recommend this clinic! They seem to really care about their patients and I appreciate that so so much!

Dr Josh is so caring. He spends time with his patients and provides excellent care. Wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for our little Lucy. Lucy got spayed and a microchip. The staff kept us updated until it was time to pick her up. She recovered quickly and there’s no visible scar!

Clean, functional facility, sharp knowledgeable vet techs, excellent veterinary support. My new go-to for vet care... except I'll probably try to stick with the Athens location. It's closer to me by a stretch.

I was so happy to find a veterinarian practice of this caliber when we moved to the area. It was everything I expect, friendly, professional, clean, up to date, with a knowledgeable, caring staff.
Sophia, Sabrina, and Marcus have been well cared for. Dr. Ervin even helped with Sabrina's immigration to reunite with her human in Toyko!
As someone who is self employed, I understand the expenses entailed starting your own business; medical equipment is expensive, start up costs are high, but the investment pays off in quality of service, so when
I hear complaints the practice is expensive, I counter with this:
1) It takes as much time and resources to become a vet as it does to become a people doctor.
2) Veterinarian's do not have patients with medical insurance to subsidize the costs of care.
3) Veterinarians have to purchase their equipment, unlike a doctor who often begin their career in an established practice.
This practice is an asset to our community, and I wish Dr. Ervin and staff continued success,

Always helpful & listen to my remarks about my fur baby! Dr Ervin is a remarkable man & really cares for the animals he sees.

Dr. Ervin and his entire Staff with the OVAC in Pomeroy, OH helped my Doggo when nobody else could or would during this crazy, covid-19 time. We couldn’t find a Vet in the Parkersburg, WV area that was able to assist with her sudden limping. They were either all booked or they weren’t “accepting new patients,” (we were in town visiting from Charlotte.) We drove an hour to see Dr. Ervin and I loved the fact that he didn’t automatically hit us with unnecessary tests’/ bloodwork, or x-rays. They both, Dr. Ervin and Debbie, took phenomenal care of my Sophie and we were out within a decent amount of time at around $80-$90, (total included the office visit, exam and all medications.) Unbelievable! Highly recommend OVAC in Pomeroy - it was definitely worth the drive from Parkersburg.

Always kind, gentle, and informative. Dr Ervin and his staff are incredibly caring and wonderful.

The best vet and staff around! They ALWAYS take care of my "babies"!

Brought my leopard gecko that had an abscess on her face, underneath her left eye Dr. Ervin was super careful with her and was able to successfully remove it. This was my first time with this clinic and I plan to bring my other pets here if needed

Dr. Ervin and his staff, both Athens and Pomeroy location have been so kind and caring for our Daisy. We had to make the hard decision of euthanasia for her. Without this excellent group we would not have had her as long as we did.
The most compassionate and caring people in a Veterinary office I have ever experienced.

Have been going to Joshua since he first opened he treated my mastiff (Maci ) RIP !! Like his own . Awesome staff !!!

The entire staff was very kind during an extremely painful and sudden unexpected development with my sweet Fancy. The kindness has still meant so much even today. Thank you to everyone there. This is a wonderful caring clinic...

My son's dog Baxter is terrified to go to other vets but here we get his nails clipped an he doesn't mind it. I thank you for being so nice an reliable when it comes to our much loved Baxter. Thank you!!-

I have never met a more caring vet & staff for animals. They truly care & take their time w my animals in assessing their care & needs. They understand they are not just pets but family.

The best vet in the area! I wouldn't take my furbaby to anyone but Dr. Ervin.

We were very pleased with how the visit was handled with all the social distancing and mask wearing policies now. Very professional and very sweet to our animal. He wasn't afraid of anyone who took care of him.

Dr.Ervin and the staff take very good care of my cats. I'm pleased with their services and my cats are healthy and happy. Thank you.

I can not say enough for the Ohio Valley Animal Clinic. The staff was so nice on the telephone. They worked us in on kind of an emergency basis. I am so appreciative of the knowledge and fine assessment skills that has lead to my kitty improving a little bit each day. ...I can't thank you all enough.
