Veterinary Care
Our comprehensive veterinary care includes wellness exams, vaccinations, and chronic disease management for dogs and cats. We focus on early detection of conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and dental issues through bi-annual checkups. Our approach combines physical exams, lab testing, and client education to maintain pets' long-term health.
Dental Services
Advanced dental care addresses periodontal disease, broken teeth, and oral infections. Services include cleanings, digital radiography, extractions, and sealants. We educate owners on home care to prevent plaque buildup and complications from untreated dental issues like heart or kidney disease.
Surgical Procedures
We perform soft tissue surgeries, spays/neuters, and complex extractions using modern anesthetic protocols. Preoperative bloodwork and monitoring ensure patient safety. Postoperative care includes pain management and follow-up exams to promote proper healing and recovery.
Emergency Referrals
For after-hours emergencies, we partner with local specialty clinics like Carolina Veterinary Specialists. Our staff provides guidance for critical situations such as trauma, poisoning, or acute illness, ensuring pets receive timely life-saving treatment.
Pet Wellness Exams
Bi-annual wellness exams track pets' health metrics and screen for age-related conditions. These visits include parasite testing, heartworm prevention, and tailored vaccination schedules. Early intervention helps prevent minor issues from becoming severe or irreversible health problems.

Really great experience here. Due to the pandemic and a difficult pregnancy, I had let my dogs vaccinations etc lapse. I was really embarrassed to take him in, but Dr. Brooke was totally understanding and not judgemental. She was extremely knowledgeable and spent a lot of time with me answering questions and making good suggestions. Highly recommended

Report
I was told today by the vet that, "I don't get unlimited time" when the vet needed to leave first to see another patient and then to go pick up her kids. While I understand emergencies happen, they could have simply asked if I could reschedule and not make that incredibly rude comment. She also said to me that my assessment of time was off and that she had spent enough time talking to me. The vet said she'd call me to answer other questions. I didn't take off work for a phone call. The situation could have been handled with much more grace.
