Veterinarians in Durham, NC

Southpoint animal hospital is great. You can always do banfield, but I am not a huge fan. What part of town are you in?

Carver St. Vet Hospital is amazing. One of the vets there identified a problem that I'd taken my cat to two other vets for. The other vets said "Oh, it's a UTI, let's pop her on antibiotics," each time and this vet said "Hm, you already came in here once for this. Let's take a closer look," and ended up solving a long-term pain issue in my cat. She recommended a combination of medical treatment and adjustments at home, and six months later, it's like I have my old cat back. She's happier, friendlier, and pees in her damn litterbox. Total cost at the vet was $125 for a more detailed urine culture, special food, and so on. I expected $200-$300 for the number of tests I authorized. I have seen that vet in November, January, and June, and each time, she remembered my pet and things we'd talked about. I brought my dog in a few weeks ago and she asked for details about my cat's recovery. I went in once in ~February with my dog, and saw a different vet, who was also excellent. Each time I've been in, the vet has called me a few days later to check in. Not the office, the vet. They're also on the inexpensive side. Banfield's office visit fee is $40. Theirs is $50. Spend the extra ten bucks and go somewhere awesome.:)

From the comments on this thread, you might have made your decision already - looks like most people love their vet - except Banfield. I didn't see any love for this one - I absolutely love Falconbridge animal hospital (http://falconbridgeanimal.com) and at least one friend has told me that they are less expensive and worlds nicer than her previous - which I believe was Banfield.

We have been very happy with Bull City Vet. they also offer alternative options of treatment as well. We have lived in a lot of different places and this is one of our favorites. I dont really know where they fall on the $$ scale but might be worth checking out. http://www.bullcityveterinaryhospital.com/

I've taken both my cats to North Paw on Guess Road for the past few years, and I've been very satisfied with their level of care.

Bahama Rd Vet Hospital is in Bahama, which is about a 20 minute drive outside of Durham, going towards Roxboro. Dr Heavner has been treating my dog since I brought her in as a malnourished, tick covered, wormy puppy. He saved her life after I found her in the woods and even cut me a break by discounting a couple things and not selling me anything I didn't need, because I only had a part time job at the moment. Not to say this is his policy, but he's a sweet guy who cares about animals and he runs a clean, efficient office.:)

I really like Parkwood Animal Hospital over off 55 (near 54/55 intersection in that shopping center). They are good vets, not pushy. Not to be confused with Park Veterinary Hospital, which is a good vet, but very expensive and touch judge-y.

For cats, go to Cat Hospital of Durham and Chapel Hill - http://www.cathospitaldurhamch.com/ My friends with dogs go to Carver Street Animal Hospital and love it - http://carverstreetanimalhospital.com/ Whatever you do, do not, I repeat DO NOT go to Banfield. Those assholes tried to kill my cat and it's expensive as fuck. First of all they convinced me that my cat needed his teeth cleaned. Then when I brought him in (another aspect which sucks because for every treatment they just want you to drop your animal off early in the morning and leave them there all fucking day), they gave him anesthesia which he had an allergic reaction to and almost killed him. They had him for a couple of days to make sure he'd live, then I got to take him home. They told me that he still needed his teeth cleaned and that they would just use a different type of anesthesia for the next appointment. I waited a month or so until my cat was back to normal, took him back to get his teeth cleaned - the same fucking idiot doctor game him the same anesthesia which almost killed him AGAIN except tripled the dosage because it wasn't working. They called me in a panic and asked if he was allergic to anesthesia and I said WTF??? They apparently keep no records of their patients because they didn't know that they had almost killed my cat once before with that shit. I was fucking livid. I went over there, got my poor, sick, barely conscious cat and took him directly to Cat Hospital. Dr. Kirch took great care of him and made sure that he recovered completely from the Banfield fuck-up. She checked out his teeth and said they were fine and did not need to be cleaned at all, let alone a cleaning which would require general anesthesia. Whatever you do, DO NOT go to Banfield.

Thea Staab Carter (Carter Mobile Animal Care) is a mobile vet who does cats and dogs (exotics, too!). I think her costs are a lot less than area clinics, plus, she comes to you so your pets aren't stressed out like at a clinic.

http://www.affordableanimalcare.org You will not find a more affordable vet in Durham. Period.

My family has been going to Dr. Ken Redman at Vine Veterinary in CH forever.

Dr Sands at Dogwood Vet in Chapel Hill. She is amazing. I followed her from Raleigh to Chapel Hill when I still lived in the area.

Local Mobile Vet Jenny Parrish - she is actually right down the road from us and comes to you! Vet reasonably priced too!

And just a word that Dr. Smith at Timberlyne is actually really good and a really nice person.

Richard Wright Hawkins Joyce Kranzke McKinney at Colony Park Animal Hospital - Ive taken all of my pets there for years and wouldn't consider anywhere else. Aside from being very warm and professional they always put our pets needs first and think ahead when planning ongoing healthcare and 'maintenance. I trust them implicitly.

Hope crossing animal hospital, off 15-501 towards Pittsboro, right before Allen & sons BBQ. Dr. Dan and his staff are amaaaaazing and very reasonable.

Erik Dorsch at the Carrboro Animal Hospital. Incredibly helpful, budget conscious, and even called/emailed me several times to checkup afterwards. Better than my own doctor.

I was really well-served by Dr. Barbara Kirsch at http://www.cathospitaldurhamch.com/id-2562, New Hope Commons on Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd.

Virginia Walters in Hillsborough or Park Veternary near Woodcroft in Durham. Both excellent

For routine needs, I take my girls to the animal hospital in Carrboro. When they have needed surgeries, I have taken them to Tri County Vet in Graham. They do a great job for a fraction of the cost

Dr Rutherford ; Piedmont vet clinic is a mobile vet we were going to be using based on others' recommendations since our vet moved out our the area.

North Churton Animal hospital

Adriano Betton of Abvet — he brings it to you and is the most gentle and compassionate of men with an Italian accent! drbetton.com

We go to triangle veterinarian in hills borough. Dr Mac is awesome as is

I absolutely love Dr. Tyson at Tyson animal hospital in south Durham. I have friends from all over the triangle that go to see her. She has been amazing with a variety of ailments from all of my dogs, and everyone who works there knows us. They also do boarding and acupuncture as well as minor surgeries. She also has very close contacts with a lot of the vets at state in case the worst happens. Appointments are easy to get and her rates are very very reasonable.

Mari Juergenson McLean

Four Paws Vet on 54 and 15_501. Dr. Smith is gentle and sweet. She has been our vet for years.

We go to Eno animal hospital dr Sabrina Grinstead for our dogs and cat she is really good

Dr. Kristy Moding at Southpoint Banfield is the BEST.

I love Dr Crabtree at Carver street vet in North Durham.

Dr. Sabin at Bull City Vet is great.

Parkwood Animal Hospital is fantastic and right next to you.

I live by 55 and 54, can't recommend Southpoint Animal Hospital enough, prices are beyond fair I feel.

[Tyson Animal Hospital](http://www.tysonanimalhospital.com/) We love all the staff there especially Dr. Luke!

Not sure how far you're willing to travel for a good vet, but Carver Street Animal Hospital is the bomb.

Might seem like an counter-intuitive since it's a national chain but I've had really good experiences with the vets at Banfield/Petsmart for our dog and cat, both locations would be relatively close to where you'll be http://www.banfield.com/veterinarians/nc/raleigh/rah http://www.banfield.com/veterinarians/nc/durham/spx

Thanks for all of the responses so far.

NCSU Vet hospital is 24/365.

My vet uses Triangle Veterinary Referral Hospital and Veterinary Specialty Hospital for emergency services. I haven’t had to use them before but if my vet recommends them, I trust them. Good luck!

We had a similar situation with a bottle Ibuprofen. If cost becomes an issue for their treatment, we went to Smithfield Road vet in Knightdale and had a weeks worth of IVs, shots, medicine and bloodwork for

For when dog owners can't get to a vet: https://www.petsbest.com/blog/how-to-make-your-dog-vomit/ We've had to do it before (under advise from a family friend who is a retired vet) and it worked fine without much trouble. Edit: Hadn't seen the other post saying the same. I'll leave this up for the link.

Doesn’t chocolate kill dogs?

Quail Corners in Raleigh

I know this is a late response, but this might help someone in the future. If you need to make a dog vomit, force feed them some hydrogen peroxide and then shake their stomach a bit. Our vet recommended this when our dogs got into chocolate.

There's an emergency vet in Knightdale: https://wakevetandurgentcare.com/emergency-care/

You do what you need to do, but caution; emergency vet services are pricey down here in F'ville, can't imagine the prices in Raleigh. Good luck!

Thanks all!! I really appreciate everyone’s help :).

Hey guys! So good news, they took their pup to VSH last night and she’s doing just fine. She puked most of it up quickly enough, and now is just gassy! Thanks for all the help/advice.

Veterinary Specialty Hospital is open 24 hrs and has a Durham location.

Memory Linh Pham… this is who I was talking about, but she may only go to places local to downtown Raleigh. but worth a shot. there are many people in Raleigh Resource who has used her (including some personal friends). if you cat doesn't travel well… this is an option. from what i understand her prices are incredibly reasonable too.

Gentle Care Animal Hospital in Cary is outstanding. Petrepair.com

Many thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Brooke Buchanan, I would also love the name of your vet. Mr. Miles is 14, so I know his days are limited, but after making the amazing rebound from the ICU, I'm hoping preventative care will help him live a few more years. He's my best friend.
