Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams help maintain pet health through early detection of potential issues. Skilled veterinarians conduct thorough physical assessments, review medical history, and recommend customized preventative care plans. We emphasize client education to empower informed decisions about nutrition, parasite control, and age-specific needs while building trusting relationships that last the pet's lifetime.
Surgical Procedures
We provide advanced surgical care with strict safety protocols for optimal patient outcomes. Our facility handles soft tissue, ophthalmic, and orthopedic surgeries with board-certified specialist collaboration when needed. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork, continuous monitoring, and post-operative care ensure patient comfort while experienced surgeons employ modern techniques to treat injuries, congenital conditions, and chronic health issues affecting companion animals.
Dental Care
Our veterinary dental services address oral health issues through comprehensive cleanings and treatments. Using ultrasonic scaling and digital imaging, we diagnose and treat periodontal disease while preventing systemic complications. The process includes pre-anesthetic evaluation, tartar removal, polishing, and home care education to maintain long-term oral health for dogs and cats at every life stage.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our diagnostic imaging capabilities include digital radiography, ultrasound, and endoscopy for accurate internal evaluations. In-house lab testing provides rapid results while advanced imaging equipment enables detailed organ assessments. Board-certified radiologists consult on complex cases to ensure precise diagnoses that guide effective treatment plans for both emergency and chronic conditions affecting pets.
Senior Wellness
We specialize in senior pet wellness programs addressing age-related changes through targeted diagnostics and personalized treatment plans. Comprehensive evaluations include bloodwork, blood pressure checks, and mobility assessments to proactively manage conditions like arthritis or organ disease.

EVERYONE & EVERYTHING! All of the staff are angels sent from God to watch over our fur babies! Today I was told this by Emily after I was worried that I was asking too many questions—
“Your job is to take the best care of Dexter Brees-Fenway and our job is to reassure us that they are taking the BEST care of him when he is there! Don’t EVER worry about calling too much because that is what we are here for—-to help ease your fears, concerns!”
Thank ALL OF YOU for loving our baby like he was yours!!

My beloved Boston Terrier suddenly had significant vision loss last Wednesday. I called Falconbridge and they got us in within an hour and a half. The staff diagnosed his vision loss and told us options for testing and costs and thoughts and potential plans. We talked with the doctor a few times during the visit. They quickly did the labs and made… a doctor to doctor call to NC state Ophthalmology and had us in there within another hour with all the paperwork and labs in hand. The doctors there were amazing as well. They confirmed what FB had diagnosed and conferred with the only retinal

Village Vet (and associated Falconridge Veterinary Hospital) are the best veterinary experiences we have had. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable. But even more important, they don't push expensive treatments that benefit themselves when cheaper, and often better, alternatives exist. Our previous vet had our cat on an expensive prescription diet that the cat refused to eat and still ended up needing monthly intervention. Village Vet suggested a change that works out to a dollar per month and actually works.

We have been patrons of Falconbridge for well over 6years. Once moving to Village After the fire, the quality of service declined. We had a bad experience during a $300 office visit for an ear infection. Staff was not friendly to our very friendly pit bull! for the record, she was not aggressive, nor did she show signs of aggression during the entire visit!!!!!!! People can say have their own opinions on the breed, but if the very people who care for dogs are uneducated and ignorant to the needs of the breed, then it doesnt surprise me why the stigma stays. When I called to cancel my other

I’ve taken my cats to both their Chapel Hill and Durham locations and am always impressed with their professionalism and reasonability. They don’t push extra expenses and check with you every step of the way for treatment. Even my cat who hates the vet will act sweet for them! Highly recommend for quality, affordable pet care in RDU.
