Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams ensure pets maintain optimal health through comprehensive physical assessments. Our veterinarians evaluate internal health, dental condition, and behavioral patterns while providing nutrition counseling. Senior pets receive biannual exams with blood screenings to detect age-related conditions early.
Vaccinations
Core and non-core vaccinations protect pets from life-threatening diseases and zoonotic infections. We recommend age-appropriate vaccines like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia while considering lifestyle factors for bordetella or canine influenza.
Pet Surgery
Our surgical services include spays/neuters, mass removals, and emergency procedures using tailored anesthesia protocols. Pre-operative bloodwork and IV catheters ensure patient safety while post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring.
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine uses acupuncture to treat chronic pain, arthritis, and neurological conditions. Sterile needles stimulate energy flow and blood circulation, providing drug-free pain relief with minimal side effects for improved mobility.
Boarding
Our premium boarding facilities offer secure, climate-controlled accommodations with daily exercise and personalized care. Pets receive species-specific attention while maintaining regular feeding and medication schedules during their stay.

Honest, compassionate, competent and all around wonderful people make up Carpenter Animal Hospital. We have taken all 6 of our dogs to them and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Through the many myriad of problems that our animals have had, we have felt well cared for, listened to. And the love and caring they showed when we had to have our dogs put to sleep was incredibly touching. Best animal hospital in NC!

We took our yorkie here because we was needing a recheck from where we had to take him to an emergency vet due to symptoms of a liver shunt my dog has had all his life. We also wanted to find a new vet. It has been a few stressful weeks due to everything happening to our sweet boy but Carpenter has out did themselves. All the staff are very welcoming and extremely nice. We have spoke with two doctors and they spent a lot of time with us which I loveeeed and explained everything so clearly.
They made a treatment plan for Bentley and they are trying everything they can to help our baby. They called to check on Bentley a few times after our visit. Very very pleased. So happy we have found a new vet that we love.

This wasn't the first vet practice I tried when I moved back to Cary, but it was the first one I felt comfortable trusting with my pets' care. They offer a variety of services on-site, including ultrasound. The staff is communicative, providing excellent feedback and follow up after tests. My cats have experienced diabetes, IBS and cancer since I moved to Cary, so this is important. Between working in vet clinics when I was young and 30 years of having cats, Doctor Turner has been the most open, informative and reassuring veterinarian I have ever encountered when making decisions regarding the care of my animal companions when they've been sick or needed a decision about quality of life. That's rare in my experience, and I highly recommend this practice.

I just recently got a puppy and took him to his first visit at Carpenter Animal Hospital and Pet Inn. All staff members were super friendly and knowledgable. They have taken such great care of my baby Benji during his first visit. I also love the follow up emails concerning Benji's wellbeing. I am so glad to have found a place that truly cares about his health.

Mandy is a seven years old female Shih Tzu, who has always been very nervous and trembles when visiting a Vet. We recently moved to Cary and yesterday was her first visit to Carpenter Animal Hospital. This was a Wellness Visit and treatment for yeast infection in her ears. Mandy was calm because it was obvious she felt secure with the hospital staff. Dr. Turner and her technician were so through and treated Mandy with care. Thank You for your care and advice on how we should treat our little fur baby in order to help her have a long and healthy life

Over the years that I've lived in/around Cary, I've always been pleased with the service provided by the good folks at Carpenter Animal Hospital (and Pet Inn). From regular checkups for my cat all the way up to dental surgery, and everything in between, the people here are friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate, and all-around pet lovers. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
