Testimonial 1

I'm a first time (continuously) nervous/worried pet owner. When we first got Huey back in January Dr. Keaton was referred to us by a family member who takes their pets there. I couldn't be more satisfied with the care he has been given, or the reassurance he gives me. Dr. Keaton and his wife seen our sweet Huey during the 12-15 inch snow storm we got a few months back, staying late in the office until we made it there. I couldn't express my gratitude enough. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime. Hands down, the best!!

I am SO THANKFUL for Dr. Smith and the staff at Cumberland Valley Animal Hospital!!! They saved my dog's life! I walked in there on Monday morning, having never been there before, with a very sick dog that had already been hospitalized for two weeks at another hospital. They took us right in and did such a thorough job. Dr. Smith found the cause of the issue, operated that same day, and now we are happily at home recovering. Thank you so very much!

We found Dr. Keaton Smith on a very sad day for our family. Our Baby, a chocolate lab, had parvo and was literally dying. We took her to Dr. Smith and even though she died twice he worked with her and gave us 11 more years with her. When she got cancer and we had to put her down he was so caring and understanding. He was right there through all the good and bad times during her 12 years and we just live him. I am also a Mimi to a grandpup and my daughter will not take him any place else. Their boarding/kennel staff are also very caring when we have to kennel him. They care that he is frightened and understand the fact that he is a rescue and that makes it easier on us to leave him. All in all they are a wonderful group of people that tame their jobs very seriously and perform it very well. Way to go CVAH, You guys are GREAT!!!!

I've been using Cumberland Valley Animal Hospital for years!!!! They got my dog through a leg amputation. Also they were great and empathetic when my kitten passed from a tumor. I cannot stress how great these folks are. Dr. Smith is a skilled vet and has always taken time to show my animals lots of love when they come in. So glad my fur babies are in such good hands!

Dr. Smith has taken care of my "puppy brother" since 2006. I think they see him at least once a month because of allergies or hurting his back jumping off things. I also drive from Lexington with my two cats when they need care because no one else compares to the staff at CVAH.

Dr Keaton Smith is awesome. Very caring and concerned about the animals. My dog wouldn't have survived had it not been for him. Went above and beyond and Butterball and the Elliott family can't thank you enough

The staff was wonderful. I took my Great Dane Tank in Friday to get neutered and they were so friendly. Tank was very scared and they let me walk him all the way to his kennel. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

They took care of our chihuahua and made him better. It's pricey but our pup pup was worth it.

They are excellent all of the staff. We have 3 cats now 2 dogs-All of our animals have gone here and have not had any issues. If we had any questions they were quick to answer or guide us to what we needed. Leo just joined our family and goes back next week for next round of shots looking forward to his progress the past 3 weeks. Thank you and highly recommend.

Dr. Smith was wonderful with my Axel. He is currently in Dr. Smiths care at the hospital so I have no doubt that he will be very well taken care of by the staff at CVAH. Thank you all so much for being so helpful and caring for my fur baby.

If anyone is looking for a veterinarian in the area I can not recommend Dr. Smith highly enough! Dr. Smith and his staff take the most amazing care of Chili and go above and beyond what I could ever expect. They are running a practice that cares and not a business concerned only with profit. I think it's extraordinarily rare quality to find a place that cares more for the quality of service they provide than the bottom line, but that's exactly what you receive at Cumberland Valley Animal Hospital.
