Veterinary Dentistry
Our comprehensive dental services include routine cleanings, digital x-rays, and oral surgery performed under customized anesthesia protocols. With specialized training and AAHA-accredited standards, we address periodontal disease, tooth extractions, and oral health maintenance. Our team ensures pets receive pain management tailored to their specific needs while maintaining the highest safety standards during procedures.
Emergency Care
For after-hours emergencies, we partner with Triangle Veterinary Referral Hospital and other 24-hour facilities to provide immediate care. Our referral network includes specialists in critical care, surgery, and diagnostics. We maintain communication with these centers to ensure continuity of care and provide follow-up treatment at our regular clinic hours.
Pet Grooming
Our certified groomers offer hygiene-focused services using HydroSurge washing systems and thorough drying techniques. We include complimentary nail trims and ear cleaning with every session. Grooming consultations help personalize styling preferences while maintaining skin and coat health. We recommend appointments every 6-8 weeks depending on breed-specific needs.
Diagnostic Services
Equipped with in-house lab facilities and digital imaging technology, we perform comprehensive bloodwork and radiology. Our diagnostics include full chemistry panels, complete blood counts, and specialized thyroid testing. Digital radiology detects internal abnormalities while dental x-rays identify periodontal issues, enabling accurate diagnoses and timely treatment plans.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical services cover spays/neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and complex procedures. We utilize multi-modal pain management and real-time monitoring of vital signs during operations. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures patient safety, and post-operative care includes detailed recovery instructions. Our surgical team maintains strict protocols to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.

Report
I took my 15 year old dog here for the entire time I lived in Durham. He is old and has bad cataracts, so he has had a number of accidents where he has injured himself due to his poor eyesight. If I called with an urgent matter, they didnt make me schedule an appointment- I could drop my dog off and they would be seen that same day. This was really helpful when my dog lost the use of one of his legs temporarily due to an injury and another time when he woke up with a bad eye infection. I would highly recommend Colony Park because its clear that they care about providing high quality service

Report
I went to Colony Park because of the referral from a family member. Colony Park, thank you for making the vet visit the way its supposed to be, stress-free!!! My previous Vet did not offer in room or curbside. I was so HAPPY when I found out that I would be able to have an actual appointment and not have to drop my dog off and leave him for several hours. At Colony Park it was easy getting an appointment when I needed it and the vet and the staff were very caring and professional. I would give 10 S if I could.
