This is not the place to take your canine family member. Customer service is disappointing at best and quite condescending in communication. Explanation of their process of what their treatment entail is skimpy at best. I made a huge mistake and letting my dog go there!

They were great.until they weren't. I give my dog her own vaccines and Six Forks Animal Hospital acted like they were astonished at this. I understand if they can't accommodate that, but they have been rude to me ever since I've told them. I have a medical background and I've been trained to give human shots so I never saw the harm in giving my dog her shots.

Love Dr. Price, but with aging animals I want to be in there when my pets are evaluated. She still will not let the humans paying the vet bills in. We will no longer be using her services. We will find a vet who allows the humans in even if we go to a mobile vet. Sorry Dr. Price, it is time to open. People are willing to wear masks and will gladly do in order to be their for their fur babies.

Robbi, the groomer, is an angel sent from heaven. I seriously wouldn't trust anyone else to groom my highly anxious dog. She takes her time and really cares for him and makes sure he is comfortable and has a good experience no matter how difficult he can be. And let me tell you, my dog is very difficult haha he does not like it when people touch his paws or his behind. Been coming here for +5 years when I used to live right down the street and even now that I live 25 minutes away I wouldn't even think of going anywhere else. These guys are the real deal. Thank you!
