FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Salem Animal Hospital Celebrates 80 Years of Care and Compassion with Grand Opening of New State-of-the-Art Facility

The oldest veterinary practice in the Roanoke Valley marks milestone anniversary with community celebration and ribbon cutting

Salem, VA — October 23, 2025 — Salem Animal Hospital, the oldest veterinary practice in the Roanoke Valley, is celebrating 80 years of exceptional service to pets and their families with a community-wide birthday celebration and official ribbon cutting ceremony by Roanoke County.

Founded in 1945 by Dr. Edward “Tommy” Thompson, Salem Animal Hospital has been a cornerstone of compassionate veterinary care for generations. In 1973, Dr. Allen R. Bryant purchased the practice, and in 2008, his son Dr. Rich Bryant and wife Danielle Bryant continued the legacy, expanding the practice while keeping its family-owned and locally operated values at the heart of everything they do.

Last year, Salem Animal Hospital unveiled its brand-new, state-of-the-art facility, built just behind the original location. The 9,000-square-foot, two-story building was designed to provide an even higher level of care and comfort for both pets and their owners. The facility includes:

🐾 Two surgical suites and a dedicated special procedures room
🐾 A spacious treatment room and larger ICU ward
🐾 Seven modern exam rooms and semi-private checkout areas
🐾 An expanded in-house lab and pharmacy
🐾 A bright, open lobby and reception area
🐾 A thoughtfully designed “comfort room” for quality-of-life discussions

This milestone celebration and ribbon cutting will take place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 11 AM to 2 PM at 3153 W. Main Street, Salem, VA. The event will feature free Chick-fil-A, a pumpkin patch, giveaways, tours of the new facility, and indoor trick-or-treating from 12:30–2 PM.

Reflecting on the occasion, Dr. Rich Bryant shared:

“Eighty years is an incredible milestone—not just for our family, but for every client and pet that has walked through our doors. Our new facility represents the next chapter in our story: one where we can continue to provide the same compassionate care with even more resources, comfort, and innovation. We’re so grateful for this community and honored to celebrate with everyone who has made these 80 years possible.”

With a team of seven full-time veterinarians and 25 dedicated support staff, Salem Animal Hospital remains proudly privately owned and deeply rooted in the local community. For eight decades, the practice has combined cutting-edge veterinary medicine with the warmth and personal touch of a small business—treating every patient like family.

Our Story

Salem Animal Hospital is a full-service, small animal veterinary hospital nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and has been serving Salem, Roanoke, and surrounding counties for over 75 years. Their services include preventative wellness care, general surgery, dentistry/dental surgery, laser therapy, and internal medicine. They have a full diagnostic suite including an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, and ultrasound. They also offer house calls for clients and stock a wide range of products from flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives to various medications and prescription diets. They also offer their own online pharmacy and PetDesk app. Salem Animal Hospital also believes in giving back to the community by working with the Salem Animal Shelter, providing services for the Salem Animal Shelter, and through work with local schools to provide opportunities to educate students about Veterinary Medicine.

Originally founded by Dr. Edward “Tommy” Thompson in January of 1945, Salem Animal Hospital focused on providing both small and large animal medicine. In 1973, after working as an Associate for several years, Dr. Allen R. Bryant purchased the practice and continued the same level of personal, compassionate care. Due to continued growth, Dr. Allen Bryant built the existing facility in 1982 and began to shift the focus of the practice to strictly small animal. Dr. Rich Bryant and his wife, Danielle, purchased the practice from his father in January 2008. Under their leadership and taking what they learned from Dr. Allen Bryant, Salem Animal Hospital has grown into the practice that it is today which includes 3 full-time doctors and 12 support staff members.

In August 2003, after many successful years in management with Verizon, Dr. Rich Bryant, affectionally known as “Dr. Rich”, began the journey to a new career when he entered the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech. With the support of his wife, his sons, and his extended family, Dr. Rich graduated with his medical degree in May 2007 and joined his father at Salem Animal Hospital as an associate veterinarian. In 2008, he became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner after completing a program at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. Being able to collaborate with clients in order to provide the best care possible for their pets throughout their lives is challenging, but Dr. Rich enjoys establishing close relationships with both his patients and clients. Being entrusted with the care of their pets whether it is from the time they are puppies or kittens to the end of their lives, or just seeing them for the first time as a senior adult, is a responsibility that he embraces and it drives him to be the best doctor that he can be. At the end of the day, he is always glad to be greeted by his two Redbone Coonhounds, Sam and Dean. He and Danielle adopted these sweet, goofy brothers from a local shelter in 2014, and, since then, they have kept him busy on his days off, exploring the local trails throughout the Roanoke Valley.

Salem Animal Hospital welcomed Dr. Jordan Weintraub, as an associate veterinarian in May of 2018. Dr. Weintraub graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary in May 2018. He enjoys surgery as well as working up an array of complicated cases. Although it can be difficult and often frustrating to make a diagnosis when a patient cannot communicate what they are experiencing, Dr. Weintraub loves being an advocate for the animals. Originally from the suburbs Philadelphia, Dr. Weintraub’s move to Roanoke has been quite a change of pace. While change is often daunting, he loves it here, and his dog, Duke, has never been happier since discovering the number of trails and outdoor activities available in the area.
