Q&A

In their care for her and would highly recommend this practice and Dr Israel.
​- Sharon S.

​Do we see exotics?
We see some exotics for very general purposes. We do wing/beak/and
nail trims on small, medium, and large birds. We neuter rabbits, sugar
gliders, and pigs. For health-related issues and general care we
recommend Avian and Exotic Animal Care in Raleigh, NC.

My cat was well taken care of by a very caring Dr. Watson. We didn’t have to wait to see a vet which made the visit easier on the cat. We will be back!
​- Marilyn F.

​Do we recommend Heartworm and Flea/Tick prevention all year?
Yes. The weather in NC is so unpredictable that there is no guarantee it
will get cold enough to stop insect cycles. If you stop these products in
the winter months your animal could still be exposed to mosquitos that
carry heartworms and other intestinal parasites, as well as, flea and ticks
that carry diseases such as Lyme.

We have been using Pinetree Animal Hospital for the past year since moving into the area. I have had to take our dog in several times for routine vaccination visits and different issues she has had. All of the Drs are great! The techs are also very helpful. Each one has been caring and very supportive of each problem we have needed addressed. A Dr that is not afraid to sit on the floor and talk to our dog while examining her is what you want! So glad I found this place.
- Charlotte S.

​Do we offer/take pet insurance?
Pet insurances at this time are not the same as human insurance. Most
insurance companies for pets do not do direct pay to the veterinarian.
After your visit you are required to pay and then submit the proper
information and invoice to the insurance company. They then pay you
directly. Currently the only pet insurance that offers direct pay to the
veterinary is Trupanion. We are set up for this option in our office.

Do we take walk-ins?
Typically no. We are a scheduling clinic; however, we always try our best
to work-in and accommodate our existing clients with same day urgent
matters. For non-established clients we recommend Urgent Vet for Pets
in Southern Pines, NC. For non-urgent matters such as vaccines we are
happy to schedule a future appointment.

​Essential Emergency Vet Care Information

​In case of a pet emergency, being aware of the available options for urgent care can be lifesaving. Keep details of emergency vet services near you accessible. Many animal hospitals now offer 24/7 emergency care, ensuring help is always available. Understanding the emergency visit process can also ease stress in critical situations.

​Selecting the Ideal Clinic for Your Pet

​Not all clinics offer the same level of care, so choosing the right one is important. Consider the clinic's range of pet care services, including those for dogs and cats, as well as the staff and environment. A clinic providing comprehensive services from routine check-ups to specialized treatments is invaluable. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who treat your pet like family are crucial for peace of mind for pet owners. Reading other pet owners' experiences and reviews can provide insights into the care quality offered.

​Locating Nearby Vet Services
