This is the best Veterinary Hospital and Grooming Salon in Boone or the area. Dr Fair is just the caring Dr we have ever taken our dogs to. She helped us find out our dog was deaf and helped us get training for her. Savannah just loves her and is so excited to see her. I have never met a Vet that loves all animals so much. They now have a grooming salon and the groomers are the best. They take such good care of the dogs and love them so much. Our dog comes out so happy and looking beautiful. I can't say enough for the Drs or the groomers except that if you try them you will be so satisfied. Just love them read more

I started communicating with this vet in November about getting travel documents for my cat when we move overseas. I am less than two weeks from my appointment and they have decided they no longer want to offer this service. These appointments must be within 10 days of travel which means we now need to find another vet that will do this and can make room for us in the next three weeks. Plane tickets and thousands of dollars are riding on this... I am gobsmacked that they would do this to us. It's not just an inconvenience - it's life-altering. read more

I cannot recommend this Vet. I cannot say one or it won't be posted. The receptionist is rude also

A few months ago, I brought in one of my cats for an issue. Since it was our first visit, I provided her rabies tags and documentation. Anticipating that my other two cats would need care in the near future, I brought their rabies documentation as well to have everything on file. I watched as the staff member copied and scanned all of the documents and tags, asked me a few questions, and then returned everything to me. Fast forward to today: I brought in my other two cats for a check-up, only to be told that the clinic had no record of their rabies documentation. The vet refused to see them without it. This level of disorganization is unacceptable. After driving all the way there, waiting through the intake process, and only then being informed--it's incredibly frustrating and a total waste of time. If a clinic can't manage basic administrative tasks, how can they be trusted with the health and well-being of our pets? We won't be returning, and I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for reliable, professional animal care. This experience was both disappointing and disrespectful. read more

Superior service in regular and emergency visits. Highly recommend. Now adding grooming service!

I called in to renew a prescription and after a 90 min drive returned home to discover that instead of renewing the prescription they dispensed a single tab. On calling back and asking to speak with an owner, I got a colossal run around instead of anyone admitting they erred, blaming me for not realizing the cost was wrong. Nice ppl, bad office. Going elsewhere read more

I recommend Dr. Fair and her wonderful staff! I have been to a few different vets offices over my 30 years in Watauga county and Watauga Animal Hospital is by far the best!! Dr. Fair is extremely knowledgeable, so very kind and caring! My furbabies are well taken care of there! And she is a surgeon, so many procedures can be done right there! Thank you, Dr Fair, Vanessa and all the staff! Jody Poe read more

Without a doubt this is a fantastic Vet. Doctor Fair is one of if not the best veterinarians We have ever dealt with. She has a team of outstanding techs that support her. When you go here you know you'll be in the best hands possible. Yesterday was our first visit, and I thank all you Yelpers that recommended her. We are now devoted to this veterinarian as are dogs doc. Thanks you all. Highly recommend! read more

Im on bad need of finding someone to help my baby girl.....and so far every where I call aren't accepting new clients...we were going to dr jewel brent but now says we are new clients and they aren't accepting new clients. He is the one that fixed her. He is the only one who she has been too read more

I can't say enough about how much I love this place. Dr. Rebecca Fair is amazing and spends a lot of time with me and my dogs. She always provides top-notch care and spends time educating me to help keep my pets healthy. She has gone out of her way so many times to make sure my dogs are well and has allowed me to just show up at times when they are critically ill. I love this vet!! read more

Loved Dr. Fair! I brought my Greater Swiss Mountain Dog in after a first seizure (he walloped his head the same day), and she knows her stuff! My dog is a bit of a rare breed that is known for quirky health issues like splenic torsion and idiopathic epilepsy. She is the first vet he's seen who didn't ask me what kind of mix he is. I appreciated her conservative approach of "wait and see" but with a plan in place and rescue meds on hand if he seizes again. She performed an exam, 3 tests, diagnosed and treated bilateral ear infections, and I bought 6 mos of heart worm meds (12 doses though because my dog is so big) for less than $400, which I thought was reasonable. She and her husband (super nice guy too) purchased the clinic several months ago and are new to the area. They are renovating the clinic, making it state-of-the-art, and we are so lucky to have her here! read more

I have had a very hard time putting into words what is going on right now. My beloved Aries (my 11-year-old cat) was diagnosed last week with cancer and yes last April my mom died of cancer so that word just is not what I wanted to hear. I am hart broken right now. I just had to talk about this fantastic vet I found. Her name is Dr. Fair she owns and operates Watauga Veterinary Hospital at 2531 us-421, Boone, Nc 28607 face book the Facebook link is :: https://www.facebook.com/watauga-veterinary-hospital-161866207176198/ I just have to sing Dr. Fair's praises as she is giving me much needed quality time with Aries. she is so UpToDate on medicine including holistic medications, she is compassionate and her staff is always willing to answer any question we might have we have called multiple times a day and they stay patient and understanding with us they answer our questions right on the spot or call us back promptly if they need to check with Dr. Fair. we had thought uncially that we would have to put Aries down sooner rather than latter because to us quality of life and Aries happiness was of the utmost importance to us. Aries has given us so much love over the past 11 years that each and every day has been and continues to be such a blessing. since meeting and beginning treatment with Dr. Fair Aries has perked up and actually started putting some of his lost weight back on he is eating and back to being active and as always loving. Thank you, Dr Fair, for each and every day you give us with him!!!! I do not know how long I will have with him but I do know that every day we have with him is thanks to god and you! I know when the time comes and he has to be put down it will be compassionately done and sad as that is and much as I love him it will be because his hippieness comes before my wants. many thanks Dr. Fair read more

Dr. Fair is very knowledgeable, but doesn't "talk above your head". She takes the time to explain what is wrong with your pet and what she feels like would be the best course of treatment. I love that she and her Vet Techs get down in the floor with my dog to make him feel more comfortable, rather than stressing him out by placing him on a tall exam table. Her prices are reasonable compared with other providers in the area. I 100% recommend taking your furbaby to her. read more

I've had dogs all my life, and I've dealt with many vets over time. Dr. Rebecca Fair is, by far, the best vet I've ever used with my animals. I recommend her without reservation! Her office staff is equally pleasant and competent. Boone is lucky to have a vet of her caliber and kindness in our town. read more

We absolutely love the care that is given to our animals at this facility! The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The fees are more than fair for the exceptional care that is given! read more

This is by far the best and most affordable vet clinic I have ever been to! I have brought both my adult cat and my lab puppy here and never spent more than $45. They truly care about the animals, so unlike the other vets offices here in Boone, they aren't going to charge you hundreds of dollars for the exam. In fact, I dont even think they charge you at all, only the cost of the vaccinations, plus they give you free samples of dewormer/heartworm medications. It's always a fast and pleasant experience and I cant believe more people aren't using this clinic. Wonderful service! read more

I've been a dog owning, High Country resident for 18 years now and I have tried ALL the vets in Boone. While I might like a vet, I might not be thrilled with the staff or I didn't like the corporate-owned/push extra services style. Dr. Fair is the only one in Boone who 1. is caring, knowledgable and thorough, 2. has a sweet tech support staff, 3. charges reasonably and doesn't 'push' services and 4. is located within town. She meets all my criteria brilliantly. Just an example of what sold me on her: my 15 y.o. spaniel mix is covered in many types of lumps, some internal, most external. The last vet I went to, I asked for an examination of his lumps and this vet basically felt him quickly and said, yeah, he's old, he's got lumps. Dr. Fair really palpated, felt and examined as many as she could and told me she had a border collie mix who lived to 16 who had as many as 22 lumps. She also gave me bloodwork options to check levels that helped confirm he is in good shape for 15. That was the assurance I needed. Thank you Dr. Fair and staff!!! read more

This is a very caring vet and staff. I will definitely keep my little Maltese as a patient here. Very reasonable pricing.

I cant say enough about Dr. Newlin and his staff. They are dedicated compassionate professionals. Wish I had found them sooner.

From the moment I walked in the door, the staff made me and my new kitty comfortable. The vets are knowledgeable, gentle, and to the point. Make no mistake: this is a no frills clinic, but the prices are reasonable and the care is great. i would strongly recommend them read more

we were camping up in Boone for the summer. our 9 year old beagle was uncomfortable with itching, dragging her butt and crying out. we made an appointment and was seen the same day. The hospital was clean and friendly and the vet was fantastic. Their rates are awesome, does not cost you a house mortgage! Preparation H was recommended which cost more than the vet visit! There are several vets in Boone, I highly recommend Watagua. read more
