In accordance with NC State Mandates, we have instated the following COVID-19 related protocols: In order to protect our clients and staff we will be practicing curbside only services. We ask that all clients call upon arrival and remain in their car until a trained veterinary assistant is able to help you. All clients will be asked to remain in their cars while their pet's medical needs are being taken care of by a veterinarian inside the building. Clients will then get a phone call from the veterinarian regarding their pet's health. We ask for patience during this difficult time as we work diligently to continue to provide you with all of your veterinary needs. Please call our office with any questions. Thank You.
