We ask that you call us at 919-471-4103 as soon as you decide to bring your pet in for Urgent Care veterinary services. This will allow our staff to prepare for your arrival and to provide the best care for your pet. Pets with severe trauma or illness requiring specialized treatment will be referred to an Emergency Hospital with 24/7 care and staffing.
If your pet needs a non-urgent care examination, such as an annual exam or vaccinations, or needs a prescription refilled, please call our office Monday through Friday 7:30am-6pm to schedule an appointment during normal business hours.
You’ve heard of a pocket watch, but what about a pocket pet? That’s right, a pocket pet is a small, furry little pet that can fit straight in your pocket! The pets that fall into this category are animals like rats, hamsters, hedgehogs, gerbils, and their slighter larger counterparts such as chinchillas, or guinea pigs. While these pets may not require daily walks or get excited about belly rubs, they’re still fun and unique animals.
Before you decide to go out and purchase a pocket pet, it’s important that you know what type of living arrangement it needs, what it eats, if it needs exercise, and what type of veterinary care may be necessary. Each of the tiny pets listed above should be cared for just as traditional pets. To learn more about each of these pocket pets, read the articles below.
