Sanford Animal Hospital - John Shontz

Since 1959, Sanford Animal Hospital has provided veterinary services to Sanford, NC and surrounding communities. Providing a compassionate and fun atmostphere, our mission is to exceed your expectations.

Sanford Animal Hospital was built and founded at its current location by Dr. William K. Settle in 1959. After two decades of being Sanford's country veterinarian, Dr. Bill expanded and renovated his building. In 1980, his daughter, Dr. Katherine Settle, came back home to Sanford to practice veterinary medicine with her husband, Dr. John Shontz.

Sanford Animal Hospital offers preventive care and services for kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs. Bringing your pet to one of our veterinarians for a physical exam is the smartest and easiest way to keep them healthy. Exams allow our veterinarians to detect problems and diseases that might go undiscovered otherwise, including heart murmurs, tumors, enlarged organs, cataracts, ear infections, ear mites, dental disease, skin issues and allergies.

At Sanford Animal Hospital, our goal is keeping your pet happy and healthy. Thanks to modern diagnostics and our on-site laboratory, we're able to do just that for sick and injured pets. Diagnostic imaging allows us to examine your pet's internal organs and body systems to better diagnose their conditions.
