We understand how important your pet’s health and safety is to you.

Which is why we offer a full range of medical services including general health and wellness, dentistry, behavioral medicine, ultrasound, and surgery. Additionally, we educate our clients on different ways that they can prevent illness moving forward and promote a preventative approach to your pet’s healthcare.

We’re dedicated to helping your pet live a longer and happier life with you.

Over the last 30 years, our team has been deeply committed to the health and well-being of your pets. Our doctor’s and staff take pride in practicing cutting edge medicine as well as exemplary care for all our patients. Our canine and feline clinic is equipped with all the modern diagnostic tools necessary to keep your pet living a longer and healthier life with you.

From immunization and general wellness to nutritional counseling and acupuncture, we’re a full-service clinic that focuses on your pet’s overall health and happiness. We’re dedicated to providing quality medical care, pet owner education, and exceptional customer service that makes you feel like family.

In 2003, we opened our second location in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, expanding our team to serve an even greater number of canine and feline families. We remain the most convenient and available veterinary team with open hours extending beyond 6 p.m., including extended Saturday hours.
