$800 for a teeth cleaning? They wont allow humans in there. If you do go here, get the price of services in writing in order to avoid the same mistake I did. Talk about price gouging. Its insane.

Watch out for their recommendations about medicine They prescribe. Without hesitation They sold medicine for 300 that costs 13-15. I guess It's typical of medicine practices...

I have definitely noticed that the staff is quite friendly. More importantly, however, is the care your treasured pets will receive while in in their care. I take my three (against my better judgment, haha) cats here for their check ups, shots, etc. I trust this place and have yet to have a negative experience. One final thought. I dont know the details of what happened (I.e.- where he went, WHY he left, why it happened so suddenly, etc.). But there used to be a vet there who no longer works there. He was the best veterinarian Ive ever worked with.

Today I called to get my sweet pup a vaccine. Her regular vet was unable to see her today. They took care of my puppy without hesitation. The tech that came to the car was AMAZING and very patient with our dog. I was very pleased with the care and the staff.

We just moved to Raleigh and needed a vet urgently to look at our poor kitty who was having some digestive issues. I called and was able to get an appointment the same day, and they took her right in for testing and to get her feeling better.
Dr. Blaire and all the vet techs were AH-MAZING. They answered all of my questions and genuinely treated my cat like their own. They called and updated me as her treatment progressed, and gave my kitty the best care. Their prices are beyond fair and they really do care for the well being of the animals above anything else. We will never ever go anywhere
