My parents have been bringing our family dogs here for years. When I rescued my own pup it was a no-brainer to come here! Front desk staff is always super timely and responsive, and all staff and doctors are so patient with my nervous dog and handle her with the best care. We just met Dr. Wheat and had a fantastic experience!

The quality of care my dogs receive is amazing. I never feel like I'm just being shuffled around. Every person there treats my dogs like their own so it puts my dogs at ease right away. I've always been able to get an appointment very quickly, sometimes even same day. If I had any complaint at all, I think it would be pricing. It would be helpful to have an itemized list of what certain tests and things cost before agreeing to move forward. Other than that, this vet office is perfect!

These vets and staff have been caring for my cats for more than 25 years. I love Carrboro Plaza Veterinary Clinic, especially Dr. Sheri Randell! My cats and I receive personalized, professional service that kept one cat happy and healthy through age 22 and the other age 19. Now we are on our third cat, and just as happy. The clinic sends an email summary after each visit and provides detailed written estimates for procedures.

At his most recent visit, my poor kitty got so scared he peed in the cat carrier. The vet tech was so kind and gentle with him! To calm him, they suggested putting a towel over his head during the exam and that actually worked! I am a faithful 25-year client and highly recommend this clinic.

I have a new pup and have taken her there twice so far. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We've seen Dr. Wheat both times and she's great, and the front desk folks and vet techs are also great. It might seem a small thing, but they sat on the floor with my pup, rather than having her on the table, to examine her and give her an injection so she was more comfortable and not freaked out. That is a big deal to this dog momma. They are customer focused - canine and human.

I could not be more pleased with our experience at Carrboro Plaza Vet. Hank came in with a very high temperature and the team immediately jumped into action. He was incredibly well cared for and loved on. Additionally, we were kept super well informed. I would highly recommend!

We love Dr. Wheat so much! Best vet we've ever had. We've been going there for almost five years with our kitty and now our pup. She cares so much about the animals and always does everything she can to make sure they're as comfortable as possible. She and the vet techs are always patient and make sure to what they can to prevent our animals from feeling stressed. Super knowledgeable and always takes the time to walk us through every option when we've dealt with health issues.

Our kitty has some chronic health issues that we have had to navigate over the years and Dr. Wheat took the time to help us figure out the best treatment plan for him. I can't recommend Dr. Wheat highly enough!

We moved, but still drive to the other side of town to keep bringing our four hairy children to this fabulous vet. They truly care deeply about our animals and their comfort and well-being. They are upfront about pricing and do everything they can to add convenience and value to their services. You can't go wrong with CPVC.
