The JAH Difference

Welcome to Johnston Animal Hospital. We are a family-run veterinary hospital that offers a full range of services to care for your four-legged family members. Give us a call to experience the JAH difference for yourself, we would love to hear from you!


  • You and your pet’s will be treated with kindness and compassion at every visit. We want to exceed your expectations in everything we do!

  • Dr. Ward is Fear Free certified, that means he has gone through additional education and testing to reduce the fear, anxiety and stress of our patients before, during and after they visit our office.

  • Your pet will be treated in a calm, loving manner with tasty treats they are sure to love. If he doesn’t care for food treats, we have brushes and cuddles ready to try :)
