When choosing a vet, your pet deserves someone looking after them who cares about them as much as you do. Since 1996, Dr. Dan and his knowledgeable team have been treating every animal with fur, feathers, or scales. As North Carolina’s first veterinary hospital devoted exclusively to pet birds, small exotic mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, zoo animals, and wildlife, we are the experts that oth
