Our team consists of board-certified veterinarians who offer a full array of specialty services in various veterinary disciplines.
Regular nose-to-tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy. Many animals are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be overlooked without preventive care. At Friendship Veterinary Hospital, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment.
Early detection using diagnostic testing provides a complete picture of your pet's health, improving outcomes, and providing baseline results. Our staff is committed to helping you get a full picture of your pet's health through laboratory and diagnostic testing. Annual blood testing helps us determine a normal baseline for your pet.
Our experienced veterinary team provides comprehensive medical care, ranging from routine to advanced procedures and treatments. Although we handle the majority of your pet's medical and surgical needs in-house, we occasionally refer patients to veterinary specialists or specialty clinics when advanced training or equipment will be beneficial.

I have two large dogs and these people are so kind to them! Everyone is amazing! They take great care of things. I’ve been trying to figure out what was wrong with one of my pups and they figured it out fairly quickly. Will always recommend this place!

I am so thankful for Friendship Veterinary hospital! I called yesterday and they were able to see my dog first thing this morning. My dog has a lot of anxiety, but the staff were so kind and caring. April was fantastic and did not rush at all, she took her time to make sure that my boy was comfortable!! That means the world to me! Dr. Real was also incredible and answered other concerns I had for my dog. I could tell they took the time to understand what was going on & provided the best solutions. We are definitely coming back here because I know my dogs will receive the care they deserve. Thanks

I can't say enough good things about this vet clinic, especially Dr. Reel! The staff is very professional, courteous, and attentive to their clients, and the doctors are very knowledgeable and truly do care about the animals. My family will definitely be back there with all of our furry friends:)

I can always get in when I have an urgent matter, they figure out a way to get you in if your fur baby has an issue that can't wait. I have confidence they will provide only the treatment that is necessary and will fully explain any costs before they are incurred. Great veterinary group, I highly recommend them.

I cannot say enough good things about the care our Golden Retriever has received at Friendship. Everyone is so friendly and compassionate. Dr. Zorn usually treats her and he is excellent!! I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care.

I called this morning to see if they are accepting new patients which they did but the next available appointment was in November. When they learned that my little guy was not feeling well they were able and willing to see him within 2 hours. The vet and staff were very caring, kind and knowledgeable. We are new to the area and I am glad to know we found our perfect vet.

I cannot say enough good things about Friendship. My normal vet was booked and could not see my animal (who was having a medical emergency) and Friendship was able to get me right in as a new patient. The doctor and staff were friendly and knowledgeable and their compassion during such a difficult time was very much appreciated. I was devastated with the loss of Hermolda and I can’t express the gratitude I felt when I opened a package from Friendship a week later that contained a clay gift of her footprints. There was a card signed by all staff and doctors too. This will be such a special

Absolutely love everyone there! We had a very bad experience at another office where all they cared about was how much $$ they could get.
The whole team here at Friendship genuinely cares about our fur babies and is honest with us about their care and are upfront about fees! I am so relieved to know we have such awesome people to take care of our fur family! ❣️
