Sandy Paws Animal Hospital

Your local family veterinarian. Located in Monkey Junction, in beautiful Wilmington, NC. Welcome! Your pet is not a dollar sign. Your pet is FAMILY.
(10)

Here at Sandy Paws we are taking on the corporate animal hospitals and taking back our community. Your pet is definitely not an uptick on a stock price. We’re here, we see you and we definitely hear you. The cost of medical care for your pet has become OUTRAGEOUS. Not because of inflation, not because of the economy, but because of corporate greed. Full stop, that’s not how we do business here. We

are here to serve Wilmington with three main objectives:

–To take immaculate care of your pets, obviously!

–To uplift our community with fun events, educational opportunities and outreach intervention for those who are in need.

–To ensure a livable wage for our office staff (the lifeblood of any animal hospital) and to continue to raise awareness for the initiative. You will see us around at local community events. We’ll be there to support your kid’s fundraising efforts. We will be your first line of support when your fur baby needs it the most. Join us on this journey in bringing Mom & Pop Shops back to Wilmington. We can’t wait to welcome you to our paw-some family.

Congratulations Chloe and Shanelle Petrie!

Meet Savannah! She is a 9 year old sweet girl. Unfortunately, her owner can no longer care for her due to medical reasons. Her owner has asked for our help in finding her a new fuurrrever home. Savannah loves affection and cuddling. She is described as a lap cat and prefers a home without dogs. If you’re interested in meeting her give us a call 💓

Let's shine the spotlight on our newest Vet Assistant (VA), Sydney! Their pronouns are they/them. You may recognize their bright and warm smile, as they started as a receptionist when we opened and are currently being trained as a VA. They have a passion for learning and are super excited to start learning more about radiology and phlebotomy! Make sure to give a warm hello to Sydney when you see them! 🐾🐶🐱

*Featuring Lady Queso Margarita Mitlitsky, our sometimes spicy clinic kitty!🐱

We're shining the spotlight on our amazing Vet Assistant (VA) and team lead, Sam Mitlitsky! Sam graduated pre-vet at UNCW and is applying to vet school. When she's not busy running surgery, ultrasounds, and training our fantastic team, she's dedicated to ensuring that your pet feels their very best. She's our go-to "cat lady" and has quite a few furry friends of her own, including Stitch, her adorable one-eyed fur-child!🐾🐶🐱

It fills our cup to help our community. This sweet girl was our second emergency surgery of the week. We worked through lunch and stayed late to add her into our surgery schedule. Another client who had no idea dropped pizza off for the team right at lunch time. Thank you so much! We knew we’d love helping our community. We had no idea how you’d care for us in return 💓💓

10/07/2024

When I say we have the best clients I absolutely mean it. Today we performed surgery on a dog to remove a ball he had swallowed that became stuck. An emergency surgery is a very unexpected cost. Another client sitting in the lobby with their dog asked to put $500 towards that dog’s surgery. They didn’t know the owner had been in the hospital herself the week before. A random act of kindness that warmed all of our hearts.😻🐶

10/07/2024

Vet Tech Week is right around the corner (10/13-10/19)! Join us in celebrating the vet techs and assistants that do the most for your furbabies and make everything possible! (Let's be honest, a hospital can't run without our vet techs and assistants!)🐾🐶🐱
Share the love and tell us in the comments who your favorite vet tech is and why, or tell us about a time your tech went above and beyond for your pet!

Wow! Look at our community!! The supplies you donated are headed to a hospital in Hickory that’s coordinating distribution to Asheville and the surrounding area. Thank you so much!!

Eastern Carolina Veterinary Referral has already sent 2 uhauls and is continuing to accept donations in their lobby!!

*URGENT HELP NEEDED* The local animal shelters and foster facilities in the Asheville area are managing an OVERWHELMING influx of pets following the damages from Hurricane Helene. Sandy Paws Animal Hospital is coordinating a pet supply collection effort here at the hospital to aid these pet-driven first responders.

We invite the donations of food, toys, leashes, collars, litter and other beneficial items here at Sandy Paws, located at 4629 Carolina Beach Road, Wilmington 28412. These items will be transported via rented U-Haul truck to western North Carolina as soon as there is a safe way in.

Having roots tied directly to Lake Lure and Asheville, we're seeing personal SOS updates on our newsfeed from people still stuck in their homes, with posts being updated on an hourly basis. We fear this situation will get far worse before it gets better and we want to do everything in our power to get up there with supplies as soon as humanly possible.

We know times are hard right now and people here are still recovering from our most recent storm. Any small item will help, even that old tattered blanket sitting in the garage you've been meaning to get rid of. Thank you all and we appreciate you.

–Team Sandy Paws

"September 11th motivates me to live a better life. The way I can honor those we lost and those who were injured is to live a fruitful life. To be an example to others that September 11th did not destroy us." - Will Jimeno, New Jersey Police
In remembrance of the victims, in support of the families, and in honor of the heroes.

We’re out here at the Surf Dog Watch Party have a blast. What a beautiful day!

Ultrasound

Bella (Dr. Cassie’s pup) was happy to help with ultrasound training today. Her tail wagged the entire time!!🐾💓

Rosie’s First Visit🐾

Rosie got a new ball during her first visit and we loved playing in the lobby 🐾💓

Happy "National Love Your Pet Day" y'all! (Yes, we own a calendar that only cites obscure holidays - Be prepared in advance, Friday is "International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day")

What a way to kick off our Opening Day Party festivities! Helloooo Mr. Lance Bass, or should I say... Bye, Bye, Bye 😂😂 We're looking forward to meeting each and every one of you at our party tomorrow. Reminder: It's on 2/10, from 12-4pm at Sandy Paws Animal Hospital: 4629 Carolina Beach Road, Wilmington, NC 28412. See you there, it's going to be the cat's meow.

**TONIGHT WE GET WATER** Just a friendly heads up, for us to get water, the town has to rip up a portion of Carolina Beach Road in front of the clinic. It's happening overnight, as we want to be as little as a pain in the butt as possible. So if you're driving down CB Road around 2am tonight, we're really sorry. Feel free to stop by the clinic tomorrow for some free water, it's on the house :)

It’s the little things. WE’VE GOT A SIGN!! Merry Christmas y’all. @Hex Head Art
