Botetourt Veterinary Hospital

Quiet, clean, friendly practice!
I love the mom and pop feel of this private vet clinic. It's super personable, and you feel cozy and safe bringing your fur family there. Dr. Havrila is the kindest, most compassionate vet I've ever had, and I won't take my pets to anyone else. She takes the time to gain your animal's trust and makes them comfortable before exams, and she knows her stuff!
The vet techs and front desk were just as great. You can tell they love what they do.
Thank you, folks, for being a place I can trust with my pets.

I've been a long-time client of the clinic with my family's cats and dogs, and had an absolutely wonderful experience getting my big pointy-eared baby Sadie the veterinary care she needed. Dr. Havrila was very helpful and understanding with my dog's nervousness. "Very helpful and very professional" is the best way I can sum up Botetourt Veterinary Hospital. Can't say enough good things about my experience here!

What a wonderful group of veterinarians, technicians, and staff. Everyone is so pleasant and extremely knowledgeable in today's technology. No "old-school" practice. They treat each patient as though it's the only one they have. I am so blessed to have found them. I only wish I had gone to them years ago.

I am very impressed with Botetourt Veterinary Hospital!! Being still semi new to Virginia, I previously had a closer primary vet as I live near Smith Mountain Lake, and when I called to make an appointment I found out that my veterinarian had left for another practice who had been seeing my senior 15 yr old pup and was very familiar with his condition and health.

When i found out she started practicing here I immediately made the switch over so he could see Dr. Havrila! I was so excited to find her!

The entire Botetourt Veterinary Hospital staff have been amazing! They're extra gentle with my senior dog who has a few health issues and they were extra gentle and communicative with his most recent dental procedure as well as nail trimming.

Everyone from the front desk to the vet tech and Dr. Havrila took the time to speak with me and calm my nerves about the procedure, answer all of my questions (as silly as some where) and made me feel comfortable ...especially Dr. Havrila who i am forever grateful too for delivering on her care and promise to my pup.

My husband and I will be using Botetourt Veterinary Hospital for our senior pup as well as our other pup, and any future animals.

Being treated like a human as well as treating my dog with love and true compassion is worth the 45 minute drive for us from SML!

I cannot say enough great things about this office. Luckily we don’t have to come often except for routine things but this past week we were faced with an unexpected visit. I thought we were going in for a simple sick visit but shortly after we were advised that our cat was super sick. If it were not for Dr. Carel being as proactive and concerned as she was it could have been a different outcome. We ended up being transferred to EVS which obviously was not ideal but we trusted the urgency. We were able to get our cat back at BVH the next morning once he was stable and Dr. Carel and her staff cared for our Tilda cat until the next day. All that to say they kept us updated on how he was doing and was upfront about the price. Not to mention the day he was discharged Dr. Carel came in on her day off to check on him and call me to update. My husband and I both agree that a vet that comes in on her day off is a vet worth keeping. Do not want to forget the front staff and the assistants who also took such great care of our boy 🥰

Great care by a team of professionals. Highly recommend.

I love Botetourt Vet Hospital. All the vets are so kind and patient with my pets, including an old, grouchy, blind sharpei who can be difficult. I wouldn’t think of ever taking them anywhere else.

We love the staff and service here. They are always helpful and help me take great care of my pups.

We love taking our pets here! The staff is wonderful and have been super helpful in caring for both our dog and cat.

They have taken such good care of my baby and you can tell they really care. Recommend them to everyone.

Everyone there is professional, compassionate, knowledgeable and kind. Dr. Mitchell is an angel right here on Earth who takes loving care of my two heathenish dogs with grace and humor. We could not do without her and her wonderful staff 🥰

They are a wonderful veterinary hospital. And the staff are super amazing people. And I would highly recommend for your sweet fur baby, puppy, kitten,dog , or cat.

Wonderful staff and doctor!! Very efficient and personable. I don't mind letting my Savannah go with the staff I feel she's safe and well taken care of in there care. I love the Vet he is very thorough with his plan of treatment. I would highly recommend this Vetrinarian!!

Love this place! They’re always so kind and take great care of my fur babies. Recently I had to go thru end of life process for one of my babies and they were so caring and understanding of our ordeal. Any time I’ve had an animal emergency they’ve worked us in same day, quickly.

Dr. Porter and the entire staff are simply the best. They are top notch professionals that truly care about your pets. I trust them completely and cannot recommend them highly enough. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Love this place!!! I drive by several vets to get to this one, because I trust these drs. They are wonderfully attentive, take their time explaining options and are just wonderful.

Great doctors and staff! Very friendly and eager to help the animals any way they can. Just be ready to cough up a pretty penny. All in all, for a vet that won't lie to you about services and excellent patient care, it's totally worth it!

Dr. Stuart and the vet techs are great with our 4 legged children. They listen well and offer various recommendations for treatment options but let us choose what we want for our fuzzies. Highly recommend this place!

Most caring staff! Dr. Miller is so wonderful! The place is always clean and not once they turned us down because of full schedule and we needed to schedule a sick appointment. I highly recommend them!

Although my husband and I followed a specific vet to this clinic (Dr. Brummer), I must say that we have had nothing but good experiences from every single member of the staff since we have started going here (about a year now). Dr. Brummer, of course, is the entire reason we began going to this clinic, so I cannot recommend him enough. We have two dogs, and both struggle with anxiety issues. One of them is extremely jumpy, hyper, and even nips at folks when she is scared, so it's really important she is with a vet that goes slow, talks in a soft voice, doesn't rush through the appointment, etc; the other dog is on the opposite end and her anxiety presents itself as more fearful and she can take coaxing and time to trust people so again just needs someone who has a gentle spirit and Dr. Brummer inherently understands this about each of our dogs but he also listens to me and to my husband and after every appointment takes time with us as well and makes sure we know exactly what is going on. For example, one of our dogs was found as a stray in horrible condition and had heart worms and Dr. Brummer treated them and made sure every step of the way we understood our treatment options and which was best for her. After a year, the heart worms are now gone. We have been at other vets where we saw the clinics' good qualities, but they just paled in comparison to this one.
