Pinnacle Animal Hospital is a full-service companion animal hospital serving Asheville, Arden, Fletcher, and the surrounding areas.

Founded in 2012 with the tag line "Compassionate Care for Pets and Their People", our hospital was designed so we wouldn't be looked at as just another "regular" animal hospital. We have proudly provided industry leading care to dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, and other furry/scaly creatures for over a decade.

Pinnacle Animal Hospital is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to our compassionate, collaborative team! We are a full-service companion animal practice committed to providing high-quality, personalized care to pets and the families who love them.

Our team offers a welcoming, supportive environment where collaboration, continued learning, and professional growth are encouraged. We provide a variety of services, including wellness care, dentistry, surgery, diagnostics, and care for select exotic pets.

New graduates are encouraged to apply! Whether you're beginning your veterinary career or bringing years of experience, we'd love to connect with you. Join a team that values mentorship, teamwork, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of pets and their people!
