Pet Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive nose-to-tail exams detect health issues early through age-specific assessments. We recommend regular check-ups to maintain optimal pet health, focusing on preventative care that addresses subtle behavioral or physical changes pets might hide. Our wellness program includes vaccination scheduling, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling tailored to each pet's life stage.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and advanced surgeries using state-of-the-art equipment and multi-modal anesthesia protocols. Our surgical services include soft tissue operations, orthopedic repairs like ACL reconstruction, and dental procedures. Each patient receives continuous monitoring before, during, and after surgery with personalized post-operative care plans to ensure proper recovery and pain management.
Urgent Care
Our hospital provides immediate medical attention for critical conditions during operating hours. We handle trauma cases, allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, and other urgent issues with dedicated diagnostic tools and treatment capabilities. For after-hours emergencies, we coordinate care with Charleston's 24-hour veterinary referral centers while maintaining follow-up treatment continuity.
Pet Boarding
Our temperature-controlled boarding facility offers separate spaces for cats and dogs with regular playtime and personalized attention. Trained veterinary staff monitor boarded pets daily, administering medications as needed. The hospital setting ensures immediate medical care if any health issues arise during your pet's stay, providing peace of mind for traveling owners.
Veterinary Diagnostics
We utilize advanced imaging technologies including digital radiography and ultrasound for accurate internal assessments.

Report
Our furbaby (Nola) needed a new veterinarian (we recently moved from Colorado). We read Bees Ferry review and decided to schedule an appointment with them. We were able to get an appointment quickly and with their extended hours, the time of the appointment work great with our schedules. Our visit took place on 06/21/2022, we saw Dr. Smith, she was very caring, thorough, patience and made sure we understood everything that she was telling us about our baby. Dr. Smith's assistant Anna was just as caring and helpful. Thank you.

I have been a "family member" here for over 30 years. I have ALWAYS received the quality, loving, and special care I want for my dogs. I have and always will HIGHLY recommend these wonderful people as their prime choice for their animals. As we all agree, NOTHING is too good for our pets.

Great vet with an amazing staff that all seem to love their jobs and the animals! They are a tech savvy office too so scheduling, paying, picking up meds are all super easy. I have been taking my 11 year old diabetic lab here for almost 2 years and I wouldn't take her anywhere else! I highly recommend Bees Ferry vet and their amazing doctors and staff!

I seriously cannot say enough good things about the doctors and staff of Bees Ferry VH. I needed to get my dog in for a minor emergency, and they were able to see him the same day, even though I was also a new client. Every single staff member I encountered from the front desk to the doctor was incredibly kind and compassionate. They gave me very clear options for the care my dog needed and graciously worked around what I was able to do that day. Nothing short of an amazing team, thank you!
