Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect health issues early through physical evaluations, lab testing, and tailored health plans. We focus on age-specific needs for puppies, adults, and seniors, emphasizing preventive strategies to prolong healthy lifespans. Our veterinarians create customized vaccination schedules and parasite prevention programs for each pet's lifestyle.
Orthopedic Surgery
Specialized orthopedic procedures restore mobility for injuries like cruciate ligament tears and fractures. Dr. Rebecca Goldbach performs TPLO and lateral suture repairs with post-operative rehabilitation plans. Advanced imaging and surgical precision ensure optimal outcomes for joint, bone, and ligament conditions requiring correction.
Dental Care
Dental services address periodontal disease through cleanings, extractions, and oral surgeries under anesthesia. We use COHAT protocols including digital X-rays and polishing. Preventive education emphasizes home care routines to avoid systemic complications from untreated dental infections in companion animals.
Diagnostic Testing
In-house laboratories provide rapid bloodwork and urinalysis results for urgent cases, while reference labs handle specialized testing. Advanced imaging like X-rays and ultrasounds diagnose internal conditions. These tools enable accurate assessments of organ function, infections, and structural abnormalities in our Troy, NC patients.

Veterinary-supervised boarding offers safe, comfortable stays with 24/7 medical access. We accommodate dogs and cats with species-specific environments, requiring up-to-date vaccinations for all guests.
