“I have been blessed throughout my life with the unconditional love and devotion received from all of my “furry pet family members”. The obligation to nourish and protect my pets is a honor and privilege. Just as I maintain my health with routine blood tests and medical visits, I do so with my pets. They give me their best, so naturally, I protect them to my best ability. I encourage all pet owners to be diligent in maintaining the health of your pet through blood tests and regular visits to your veterinarian. Were it not for a blood test, my dog, Mattie, may not be with me now. Blood tests reveal abnormalities (heart worms, thyroid, cancer, etc.) early, thus allowing options for treatment. The benefit to this is that the love and devotion your pet brings to you and your family could last for many years.

“Dr. Jenifer Edens has given us the best care possible for our pets since we started with her. She never makes a diagnosis without first running a routine blood test. When our Jack Russell began having kidney problems it was through the bloodwork that Dr. Edens was able to diagnose and treat Rudy’s problems. We give her full credit for making his life as pain free as possible all the years she treated him. We are grateful for the excellent care our pets have received from all the staff at Lacrosse Animal Hospital. We highly recommend them to anyone who has a pet. They are the best.

“We first met Dr. Edens with our dog Charlie, who was going to a previous veterinarian. Dr. Edens took her time and found underlining conditions that our previous veterinarian wasn’t aware of. With the help from Dr. Edens we were able to enjoy Charlie for another 3 years!! With our new dog Joe, we decided that there wouldn’t be anywhere else we would go, and when we go on trips that Joe can’t go on, we trust no one but the staff of Lacrosse Animal Hospital to look after him.
Grady Waters of La Crosse, VA
“We have a Basset Hound that is old due to preventative blood work. She was found to be in early kidney failure. Finding out early made all the difference, She is on a special diet and is checked regularly giving us our maximum time with her. I recommend preventative blood work because it can catch so many problems that can be fixed!

“Just a note to say thanks for all that you have done for Frankie and me and our pets. Our pets are family in every sense of the word. They bring us comfort and joy every single day. We simply cannot say enough about the level of care Jennifer and her associates have provided to us and our pets. We have four dogs, Zoie, Harley, JoJo, and Buddy. Jennifer has been caring for our pets for more than 10 years. The level of care our pets have received goes far beyond exceptional and right on with the diagnosis of our pet’s condition. Jennifer and her associates focus on the animal’s needs but they also recognize the owner’s concern for their pet’s condition. Their bedside manner in caring for our pets and us is exactly what we are looking for and expect. After all, our pets are family. They always place a follow-up call after a visit checking in on our pets ensuring all is well. We simply cannot say enough about the care and service we receive from La Crosse Animal Hospital. We recommend them to anyone who is looking for outstanding and compassionate care for their pets.

“While on my way out of town for work, my dog was admitted to the animal hospital as he became suddenly ill. Jennifer, along with her amazing staff, not only assured me that Belle was in the best of hands, but showed me their love for everyone’s pets as if they were their own. Having to leave town & not knowing if my four-legged best friend would make it through the night, I left Belle in the care of La Crosse Animal Hospital- and would again in a heartbeat. I received a relieving phone call from one of the staff members who came in early (on a Saturday!), saying Belle had made an epic comeback. I love having the reassurance not only of the expertise of the staff but that they actually care about the animal that walks through the door. Now, my dog loves visiting the vet, I think she knows as much as I do- without them, she wouldn’t be here today. Thank you, La Crosse Animal Hospital for without you, I wouldn’t have this precious face to greet me when I come home each day!

“La Crosse Animal Hospital provides excellent care to each patient. The staff is very knowledgable, friendly, and caring. I am very pleased with the services that I have received and recommend La Crosse Animal Hospital.
Clyde Spraggins of South Hill, VA
“Probably the most important part of what Dr. Edens and her staff offer to me (my family pets) & to my rescues, is to deal w/ any emergencies that arise, during her busy days…..even after hours, when she is available…I am a long way from any city that might provide these extended services. The staff ALL love the animals…the animals know this! Dr. Edens amazes me in that she will do whatever is needed , often, she could ask another staff person to do something, but she will help bring the dogs inside…get products, or information…she will do many procedures on my rescues, that the Raleigh vets tell me to go to a specialist.
Dr. Edens tackled a big dog’s health issues that 2 Veterinarians in Raleigh would not even ‘deal’ with…because the dog was still full of milk, dripping brownish discharge..very lethargic…both said to WAIT until her milk dried up for spay…if we had waited ‘weeks’, this dog would have died from a massive internal infection…her uterus was rotten. Dr. Edens opened her up, to discover this, and got her well !! I have worked w/ her for almost six years/she has worked with me !!

“Dr. Jennifer Edens and her staff are the best! They are so professional and treat their “patient” with loving care and respect. They all seem to love their job and give the best care to our furry friends. They have been treating all my kitties for many years and I have great confidence in them and the medical care they provide. I sincerely recommend La Crosse Animal Hospital for the care of your pets.
Patricia Parrish of South Hill, VA
“We would like to thank the staff at La Crosse Animal Hospital for their continued, excellent service. We currently have 5 fur babies, subject to change at any moment as we house and foster neglected, abused, or abandoned dogs in need of a loving home. Dr. Edens and Dr. Hutcheson along with their staff have always been patient, compassionate, and helpful with our furry family. Many of children have lived long and happy lives due to the care received at La Crosse Animal Hospital.

“Several years ago my little Toy Fox Terrier was in terrible pain, my regular veterinarian was unavailable so I called Dr. Jennifer Edens. She had me come to the hospital immediately and did diagnostic tests and examination to find out what his problem was. He was unable to lie down without pain. With the medications she prescribed and follow up laser treatments he is as playful as he was years ago. She also did emergency Saturday care when a larger dog attacked him. She stitched him up so beautifully that you can’t even see a scar. Needless to say that I switched veterinarians to her right away. I love going to La Crosse Animal Hospital for follow up care, it’s like a social outing for me because the staff are so friendly and caring. My Bingo especially loves Lois. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the care of my beloved pet.

“When our oldest dog, LD, had a second stroke in July 2017 he had difficulty regaining his walking skills. With good care provided by the La Crosse Animal Hospital doctors and staff, LD began to improve. But when Dr. Edens suggested that we try the Assisi Loop to help relieve inflammation in LD’s joints, LD’s progress noticeably improved. The Assisi Loop is easy to use at home in 15-minute sessions. It generates an electromagnetic field, provided by a self-contained battery, that reduces inflammation. After 15 minutes the device turns itself off. We applied the Assisi Loop to LD’s hips once a day while he was lying down to eat. He seemed to enjoy the attention he was getting and usually ignored the loop while he ate. LD celebrated his 15th birthday in September with a cornbread cake and a walk around the yard with his best dog buddy, Leonidas. Since our first Assisi Loop’s battery has exhausted its usefully life and considering LD’s age and arthritis, we plan to get a second Assisi Loop for him.

“Thank you for the opportunity to say how glad I am to be able to bring my 4-legged family members to you for care. We must be doing something right, with preventative blood screening and wellness checks because my babies (16-yr old Boomer & 13-yr old Honey Bear) are happy and healthy. Boomer is a Golden Retriever, and Honey Bear is a Golden mix, and they are living well beyond what I was told to expect from large dogs. Dr. Edens is our “go-to” vet, and I hope to continue the relationship for many more years.
Alice Hoff, of Bracey, VA
“I own 2 Shitzus and I love them so very much. I always want to give them the best vet care that I possibly can. I firmly believe in allowing bloodwork to be done because I know that by doing this, any issues can be caught early, therefore treated early before any damage is done. This has already happened with my 3 yr old and his food change corrected the problem. This was a simple problem but there are many more serious issues to deal with. I plan to continue to allow bloodwork and to treat my babies and Lacrosse Animal is where I choose to do that. Dont make a decision you will regret later when it comes to our furbabies.
