Services
Pet Wellness
Our wellness program emphasizes early detection through comprehensive exams and age-specific assessments. We provide vaccinations, nutritional counseling, and senior pet care tailored to individual needs. Regular checkups help identify subtle health changes that pets instinctively hide, enabling timely intervention. Our team guides owners in maintaining optimal health through preventive measures and education about disease prevention strategies.
Surgical Procedures
From routine spays/neuters to advanced orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment and multi-modal anesthesia protocols. Preoperative assessments minimize risks while post-operative care ensures proper recovery. Our team performs dental surgeries, mass removals, and emergency procedures with dedicated monitoring before, during, and after operations, prioritizing patient safety and comfort.
Emergency Care
Critical care is available during business hours for trauma, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening conditions. We stabilize patients through diagnostics, fluid therapy, and pain management. For after-hours emergencies, we coordinate with Triangle Veterinary Referral Hospital and BluePearl Pet Hospital, maintaining continuity of care through detailed patient records and follow-up consultations.
Pet Boarding
Our climate-controlled facilities house cats and dogs separately for stress reduction. Boarding includes medication administration, daily monitoring, and immediate access to veterinary care. Reservations are recommended during holidays, though last-minute accommodations are often available. All guests must maintain current vaccination status to ensure population health safety.
Pet Grooming
Professional grooming services include baths, haircuts, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. Medicated baths address skin conditions while sedation options assist anxious pets. Appointments ensure personalized attention to coat maintenance and hygiene needs, with scheduling available through our front desk team for convenience.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this vetinary hospital. One of our dogs was very sick and had to be referred for surgery.. The level of check ins and concerns for my pup while she underwent treatment has been beyond phenomenal. They have a great system for helping remind you when your pet needs routine care. And they have taken care of my fur babies several times when at have left town and they go above and beyond to take care of them. Just excellent people!

The staff at Triangle Vet are amazing with me and my dog! They work with me to make sure the waiting room is clear of other pets before we come in and always answer my questions. I can see how much they love animals and I will always come here!

We LOVE TVH, they take care of our dogs with the care and love you'd expect at a pediatricians office! They are our primary care vet and we won't go to another vet. Since coming here with both our dogs I can honestly say I've never met a more caring group of professionals. We recently had a scary situation that ended up with a referral to surgery and TVH helped us the whole way through the process, including following up with us after Cassie was discharged. If you're looking for a vet that will care for your fur babies like they would their own human babies, you have to come here!
