Welcome!

Apple Valley Animal Hospital is a full-service Veterinary Hospital in Hendersonville, NC. Our Veterinarians provide preventative, medical, dental and surgical care to Edneyville, Bat Cave, Fairview, Lake Lure, Hendersonville, Flat Rock, Asheville and the surrounding communities. 

The doctors and staff at Apple Valley strive to provide quality veterinary care throughout the life of your pet. We provide wellness and preventative care, senior care, including early detection and treatment of diseases as your pet ages, and the complete medical and surgical care your pet may need throughout their life, including spay/neuter, dental care, and other surgical procedures. 

 If you have an animal emergency after 5:30p, please contact Western Carolina Regional Animal Hospital (at 828-697-7767) or MedVet (at 828-665-4399). 

Following current public health guidelines for COVID, we have discontinued the mask requirements for entering our hospital. If you prefer to wear a mask, that’s fine and we will continue to keep them available. If you prefer for our staff to wear masks during your visit, just let us know! We are happy to accommodate your safety and comfort.

With the overwhelming Fear Free benefits we have seen for your pets, our patients, we have decided to keep our lobby traffic to a minimum by:         

Asking that you stay in your vehicle and call us to check in when you arrive.

          When the lobby is clear and a room is available, we will bring you and your pet in.

          At check-out, we will make sure the lobby is clear, and you and your pet will have our full attention (and treats!)

KNOW NO FEAR!

Developed by “America’s Veterinarian,” Dr. Marty Becker, the Fear Free^SM initiative aims to “take the ‘pet’ out of ‘petrified’” and get pets back for veterinary visits by promoting considerate approach and gentle control techniques used in calming environments. Utilization of Fear Free methods and protocols leads to reduction or removal of anxiety triggers, which creates an experience that is rewarding and safer for all involved including pets, their owners, and veterinary health care teams. Apple Valley Animal Hospital is committed to preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety and stress in pets.
