I had a very hard time finding a Vet in Raleigh area that would listen to me and truly care about what concerns I had about our old dog. I was recommended this vet and I can't recommend them enough either. I finally met someone who cared about mental health of a dog and his anxiety and how it's affecting him and us. Their only answer wasn't just drugging my 12 year old dog the rest of his life. I honestly think everyone should use this vet office. Thank you to the staff who listened to me and I'll be forever grateful to this office for all they've done for us.

I had been taken my antalion shepherd to a different animal hospital and after 8yrs I became unhappy with the quality of the service so I decided to take her to Neuse River Veterinary. The quality of care that I received there is excellent and very caring. I even received a couple of follow-up calls.

This is our second set of dogs, 12+ years with the first set, 4 with this pair. Very happy with Neuse River Vet, no plans to change. We will follow them to the new (still) Wendell location when it happens.
