Salty Paws Veterinary Hospital

We came to Salty Paws after being told by 2 other vets that what was going on with our guy was "normal" when we knew it was not. Dr. V and the team listened, addressed many follow on issues, uncovering an undiagnosed illness. The new was delivered gently & Dr. V was patient as I processed the information. We left with news we did not anticipate but felt informed & educated on our path forward. Megan & Aaron were nothing short of amazing! Everyone in the office was kind & respectful towards the patients, their owners and each other. We have already recommended Salty Paws and are so thankful for our experience. Thank you for taking such great care of Louie!

Love saltey paw. Never had a bad experience. Always have answers for anything I ask. Love how they love my dogs.

I am so relieved to find this veterinary practice. My dog, now 8 years old was a shelter rescue and is happy everywhere except the vet where she is fear aggressive. Dr. Fannin and the vet aid were exemplary. She was able to take blood so my dog was non-reactive. They worked so effectively that while there were some growls, there were also wags and more wags throughout the session. This is THE BEST VET EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD with my 8 year old. I am profoundly grateful. Thank you Dr. Fannin. Oh and the facility itself is attractive, beautiful, and a pleasure to visit. I'm moving both my dogs to this practice. thank you thank you thank you!

A Heartfelt Thanks to Dr. Blessing and Team! I cannot thank Dr. Blessing and her incredible team enough for their exceptional care in treating my dog's stubborn ear infection. After struggling with this recurring issue for what felt like ages, we finally found relief thanks to their expertise and dedication. From the moment we walked in, everyone at the clinic was wonderfully gentle and patient with my dog, who can be a bit anxious at the vet. Their compassionate approach made a huge difference in keeping him calm and comfortable throughout the examinations and treatments. Dr. Blessing's thoroughness in diagnosing the specific type of infection and her thoughtful explanation of the treatment plan gave me immense peace of mind. Thanks to their diligence and the effective treatment, my dog is finally free from his ear troubles and is back to his happy, playful self. It's such a relief to see him comfortable again. If you're looking for a veterinary team that combines top-notch medical care with genuine kindness and a gentle touch, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Blessing and her staff. They truly are a blessing!

Our dogs and cats receive excellent care at Salty Paws and have for years. You rarely need to wait when you arrive for appointments. Communication with the front desk and vets alike is excellent. Dr. Blessing has been very helpful in treating two of our pets with special needs. I have found every vet I've worked with at Salty Paws to be knowledgeable, sensitive and caring. I recommend Salty Paws to you most highly when seeking care for your fur babies.

Great veterinarians, vet techs and front desk staff! Been going there for years my dogs. I didn’t have a dog for 2 years because I was devastated by the loss of mine. We ended up adopting a dog in 2024 and knew that Salty Paws would be our vet. We wouldn’t take him anywhere else.

I have been taking my pets to Salty Paws Veterinary Hospital in Yorktown, VA since 2008, and this review has been a long time coming! Salty Paws has cared for my multiple dogs and cats and supported my family over the years. From puppyhood to senior care and the heartbreaking final goodbyes, they have walked through every part of the journey with us. Dr. Fannin is my primary veterinarian and she is wonderful, but every doctor I have seen there has been excellent. The staff is just as special. Carolyn, Jamie, Kristen, Halie, Alyssa, Tatum, and so many others treat me and my pets like family. Your appointment is never rushed, you are remembered, and so are your pets. They always take time to listen and explain. The hospital is always clean, calm, and welcoming, and their commitment to Fear Free care really shows in how comfortable my pets are during visits! As the owner of a pet sitting and dog walking company, I am especially grateful for how responsive and supportive they are during emergencies with my clients’ pets. They find a way to fit us in, even when the client’s regular vet cannot, and many of those clients end up switching to Salty Paws after experiencing the level of care here. I could easily write a book about all the ways they have helped and encouraged us! They have held my hand during the hardest moments and celebrated the happy, healthy seasons right alongside us. They truly have a heart for their patients and for the people who love them. I am so thankful for Salty Paws and the entire team, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a veterinary team that will walk with you, with compassion and heart, through every season of your pet’s life!
