Welcome!
Asheville Highway Animal Hospital was started in 1979 as a one-veterinarian animal clinic operated in the same location by the founder, Dr. Joseph Kendrick. “Dr. Joe” has a deep love for animals and a vision of a veterinary hospital that treats pets with the same level of medical care and attention given to human patients.
It was his insight and dedication to veterinary medicine that has brought the family owned clinic to where it is today. Now accompanied by his son “Dr. Rick” Kendrick, his daughter-in-law “Dr. Reichla” Kendrick, and “Dr. Lori” Baxter, the full service facility offers comprehensive and up-to-date medical treatment for pets.
Employee spotlight

Amanda Wilburn joined the Asheville Highway Animal Hospital family in September of 2008 as a Veterinary Receptionist. With almost 10 years of experience in the field, Amanda brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication and is a tremendous asset to the AHAH family. If you have been to an AHAH-sponsored event such as the Annual Dog Show, Amanda was largely responsible for organizing and for providing the creative ideas.
Amanda has four 4-legged children. Their names are Becky, Olive, Colin, and Toby. Becky, an adorable Cairn terrier who is more human-like than a canine, is well known. You may have seen Becky greeting clients in the reception area on occasion. The other 3 “children” are feisty cats who have definitely gotten into their fair share of trouble. :)
Amanda enjoys reading British literature, going to the movies, and attending concerts. She is also a member of the Humane Society, ASPCA, and World Wildlife Fund. We are privileged to have such a hard-working, creative, and dedicated team member. The next time you come to visit, say hello to Amanda (and Becky)!
Featured pet

We would like to introduce to you Sage Tomerlin. She is a rescue dog who is a St. Bernard and Golden Retriever mix. Her nick name is “Nana” or “Nana Goat” because she will eat ANYTHING!!
Although Sage recently lost her big brother “Lil Man”, she is still very playful and a big talker. If she were in school, she would be known as the class clown. She loves to give kisses. She has a big sister named Ace who is a very sweet Akita. Sage was in the Habit program where she volunteered at Baptist Hospital on the adult physical therapy floor. Her family loves her very much and she is adored by anyone who meets her.
