Meet Dr. Ivy Heath

With determination and a desire to make a difference in her community, Dr. Heath built Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital from the bottom up in April 2008. Before she arrived in Grifton, veterinary medicine was providing the bare minimum for area dogs and cats. Dr. Heath felt there was a distinct lack of focus on the veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and pet parents weren’t receiving the education they needed to give their animal companions the best life possible.

For Dr. Heath, building up and preserving the bond between people and their pets is paramount. Meet her and the rest of her amazing team!

Teeth Cleaning

“Dog breath” is not normal for any pet and could indicate dental disease. Luckily, we can help your pet avoid dental disease with a tailored dental care program that includes routine teeth cleanings and teeth brushing. We're always happy to help and keep the bond between you and your pet as strong as ever.

Dr. Ivy and her staff are the absolute best! My husband brought our baby Blossom in on Friday because she wasn't feeling well. Dr. Ivy and her staff did a thorough examination and found out what was wrong with our baby. Now Blossom is well on her way to being a very healthy and happy kitty! We love you all at Faithful Friends!

Every member of the staff is extremely kind and friendly! They feel like family! I have been bringing my poodle to them for almost 10 years. They are so gentle with him and do great work!
