Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include ear, eye, dental, and skeletal evaluations alongside internal health assessments. Veterinarians create customized preventive care plans with biannual visits recommended for optimal pet health. Early disease detection through routine bloodwork and physical exams helps maintain long-term wellness for dogs, cats, and exotic animals.
Vaccinations
We administer core vaccines like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia while offering lifestyle-based protections against Lyme disease and kennel cough. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines, with tailored schedules for puppies, kittens, and senior pets. All vaccinations include post-injection monitoring for adverse reactions.
Dental Care
Full dental services include professional cleanings, digital X-rays, and extractions under anesthesia. Pre-anesthetic blood testing ensures patient safety during procedures. Our team provides home care instruction for plaque prevention and offers specialized diets to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Surgery
Our surgical suite handles soft tissue, orthopedic, and emergency procedures with advanced pain management protocols. Services range from spaying/neutering to complex tumor removals and trauma repair. Post-operative care includes recovery monitoring and detailed home care instructions for pet owners.
Microchipping
Permanent microchip implantation services use ISO-standard chips readable by universal scanners. We register chips in national databases and provide registration updates as pets change ownership or relocate. Microchipping appointments include verification scans to ensure proper chip function.

Our dog had a ripped toenail. We are new to the area and after calling several vet practices, they were the only ones who offered to help our puppy. They saw him that afternoon. The staff and Vet were very helpful and professional. An exceptional experience

My dog Bijoux became very ill while visiting from out of state, after numerous calls to almost every vet in the area, Animal Hospital of North Myrtle Beach was the only place that would see Bijoux since she wasnt a patient. Unfortunately my dog was too sick to receive care, but the staff and Dr. Jones were very compassionate and provided a comfortable space for us to say our goodbyes. Thank you

When I called for a new pet appointment for my Cockapoo, Roxie, they were able to get us in for a wellness check within a few days. Dr. Bolten was very thorough in her exam and the tech and rest of the staff treated us with the utmost care and professionalism. The charges were reasonable for all that we had done. I am so happy we found this practice and will continue to use them and recommend them to others.

On time, asked questions since she was new. Sandi did not complain at all and most importantly she has been healed.
