Services
General Surgery
We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, including spays, neuters, and stone removal, with pre-surgical bloodwork and continuous patient monitoring. Our surgical suite maintains sterile conditions with board-certified specialists available for complex procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and detailed recovery instructions.
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive laser treatments reduce inflammation and accelerate healing for conditions like arthritis, dental disease, and post-surgical recovery. FDA-approved devices deliver targeted therapy in 5-10 minute sessions, with noticeable improvement typically within 3-5 treatments. This drug-free option complements traditional medical approaches.
Dental Care
Comprehensive oral care includes professional cleanings under anesthesia with full-mouth X-rays to detect hidden dental disease. Our team addresses extractions, periodontal treatment, and preventive care education. Annual dental exams help prevent systemic health issues related to oral infections.
Wellness Programs
Customized wellness plans cover vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling for pets at all life stages. Twice-annual exams for seniors help detect age-related conditions early. Our affordable programs emphasize disease prevention through regular veterinary check-ups and tailored health monitoring.
Emergency Services
Immediate medical attention available for critical conditions including trauma, poisoning, and severe illness. Our team handles emergency diagnostics, stabilization, and treatment with 24/7 on-call support for life-threatening situations requiring immediate intervention beyond regular office hours.

I had an unexpected emergency situation with my dog. From the moment they answered the phone to the time I picked up my dog was nothing but great. This was my first emergency with any of our animals and to say I was a nervous wreck is putting it mild. They worked me in and Dr Pressly kept in contact with me through out it all letting me know what was going on with my dog. Not once did I have to wonder..... These guys seem passionate about what they do and it is not just a "job" to them. They have even called to check on him after he came home. I would recommend Pressly Animal 100% and are thankful

I had a need for my dog and cat and called Presley Animal Hospital. The receptionist that answered the phone didnt have the answer to my question but she was very nice and didnt put me off, but responded to my need. My request for help for my two fur babies was met, and exceeded my expectations! Now my fur babies are happy and their little bellies are full! Thank you Presley Animal Hospital for your kindness and generosity! The Robersons thank you very much

There is not a better team of amazing vets anywhere in the area. We trust and love Dr Pressly and Dr Drake. They have taken care of our pets since we moved to NC 5 years ago. Have you ever seen a dog EXCITED to go to the vet? Our two love to go there! We always know they will take care of our pets like they were their own, and whenever we are there we are treated like family.
