At Black Mountain, our goal is to enhance the bond between pets and their owners through exceptional pet care. Many pets exhibit symptoms that require immediate attention but don’t warrant an ER visit, and primary care clinics may not have the availability. Our animal hospital was established to provide pet owners with a quick, comforting, and comprehensive solution.
Our diverse range of services benefits both our clients and medical team. Our clients can typically get a same-day appointment when needed, while our medical team is able to learn, grow, and practice with diverse daily cases. Thus keeping the team engaged and constantly deepening their passion for veterinary medicine.
Since our opening in 1987, we have treated thousands of cats and dogs, and our services have evolved into a full-service veterinary clinic, offering our signature urgent care, as well as routine care such as wellness exams, vaccines, spaying/neutering, surgeries, dental cleanings, diagnostics and more comprehensive surgeries.
At the heart of Black Mountain, we are focused on the people, both our clients and our medical team. We strive to provide sustainable veterinary careers and exceptional medical care, which ultimately benefits everyone, especially with the increasing trend in pet ownership. Get to know the dedicated individuals behind us who work tirelessly to care for your pets below.
“The Black Mountain team is fantastic! they’ve shown consistency in the quality and kindness of the care they provide. They are a model for the industry”

We jump at the opportunity to help one another and seek out opportunities to make the clinic cleaner and more effective, and our culture more collaborative and joyful.
