About
Welcome to North Carolina's premier veterinary hospital — where innovation meets compassion.
Prioritizing Quality and Compassion
We know better than anyone that pets are family. That’s why we treat them as such. We have one of the top-rated veterinary medical complexes in the country, so veterinarians from around the Southeast and beyond refer their patients to us for unmatched care.
Since we opened our doors in 1983, we’ve provided first-rate, comprehensive care to over 300,000 animals in dozens of specialized veterinary medicine services — all while keeping a commitment to excellence at the forefront of our work.

Training Tomorrow’s Veterinarians
We’re big believers that you can’t rush excellence. As a teaching hospital, we take caring for patients just as seriously as training the next generation of veterinarians — without ever compromising quality.
Our Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students form a fundamental part of our care teams, which are always led by a board-certified specialist. We also host one of the leading and largest training programs for veterinary specialty house officers in the world.
Because there’s teaching and training happening while your animal is with our team, you can expect a thorough, extended appointment — and you’ll rest assured that your animal is in good hands the entire time.
