Wake Forest Animal Hospital

Our preventative care program focuses on early disease detection and health maintenance through regular examinations, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. This proactive approach helps identify potential health issues before they become serious, ensuring your pet maintains optimal wellness throughout their life stages. Our veterinarians create customized preventative plans tailored to your pet's specific needs.

We offer comprehensive surgical services in our modern facility, including soft tissue surgery, orthopedic procedures, and emergency operations. Our surgical team utilizes advanced monitoring equipment and pain management techniques to ensure patient safety and comfort throughout the surgical process and recovery period. Pre-anesthetic blood testing ensures each patient receives appropriate anesthesia protocols.

Our certified veterinary acupuncturists provide alternative treatment for chronic pain, arthritis, and neurological conditions. This holistic approach complements traditional medicine by stimulating specific points on the body to improve circulation and promote natural healing. Treatment plans are customized based on individual patient needs and response to therapy.

We handle urgent medical situations during regular business hours, providing immediate attention for injuries, sudden illnesses, and acute medical conditions. Our experienced team assesses and stabilizes critical patients while communicating treatment options to pet owners. For after-hours emergencies, we coordinate care with local specialty hospitals.

Class IV laser therapy is available for pain management and tissue healing in pets with arthritis, post-surgical conditions, or soft tissue injuries. This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation and promotes cellular regeneration through targeted light energy application. Treatment protocols are developed based on each patient's specific condition and response to therapy.

They have been nothing but great and kind to our little pup. She is now 1.5 years old and they have been here vet from the start! I have never had any issues being able to schedule an appointment the app is also great.

On 3.4.22 we took our 10.5 year old dog in for teeth cleaning and some x-rays. Although Dr. Manning didn't see anything on the x-ray that was concerning, we still opted to send them to a radiologist to have a look. On 3.7.22 I received a call from Dr. Manning with some "bad news". Our dog had a severe, inoperable tumor in her shoulder and she would probably only last a couple weeks. On 3.26.22 we finally said goodbye to the best dog we have had.

Between 3.7 and 3.26 I did not receive one single piece of communication from Wake Forest Animal Hospital or Dr. Manning. My wife called on two occasions, but there was never any outgoing communication during that time. I am so disappointed in the bedside manner of Dr. Manning. I am not sure how many terminal diagnosis your office has to deliver on a daily basis, but I pray that you treat other animals that have been your patient for a number of years with more care and respect than we received. We will not be returning to Wake Forest Animal Hospital. To anyone thinking about bringing their animals here, I would recommend you look for other vet services, especially for older pets.

Always have a great experience here, my dog isn't the biggest fan but her fur parents are! I called in for flea/heart worm medicine and it was immediately ready. The employees are always friendly and welcoming, we moved a good distance away and will continue to bring our dog here because how much we love this place.

I've been taking Piper here for 6 years now. Everyone is always friendly. They really care about your pet. I would highly recommend.

Nice professional service. Good clean facility. Price seems a little high, but they offer alternatives to obtaining medicine and you can build up award points

Dr Mullins saved Sadie's life a few years back. We love her like family. Thanks for saving my fur baby!
