Preventative Care

Our preventative care programs focus on early disease detection and health maintenance through vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling. We create customized wellness plans for pets at every life stage, using comprehensive exams and client education to promote longevity. Our proactive approach helps avoid costly emergency treatments while ensuring pets maintain optimal health through regular check-ups and tailored lifestyle recommendations.

Diagnostics

Advanced diagnostic capabilities enable accurate health assessments using in-house lab work, digital radiology, and specialized equipment like video otoscopes. We perform blood tests, urinalysis, and fecal exams to identify underlying conditions while offering referrals for complex cases requiring ultrasound or cardiology consultations. Our integrated approach ensures timely results and informed treatment decisions for improved patient outcomes.

Surgical Services

Comprehensive surgical care includes spaying/neutering, dental procedures, and soft tissue operations performed with strict safety protocols. We conduct pre-anesthetic evaluations, monitor vital signs during procedures, and provide detailed post-operative care instructions. Pain management strategies and follow-up appointments ensure pets recover comfortably while maintaining the highest surgical standards in a compassionate environment.

Dental Care

Our dental services prevent and treat oral diseases through professional cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery. Using digital dental X-rays and specialized tools, we address periodontal issues while educating owners on home care techniques. Regular dental maintenance protects pets from systemic infections and supports overall wellness through improved oral hygiene practices.

Boarding

Secure, comfortable boarding facilities accommodate dogs and cats with species-specific amenities. Dogs enjoy outdoor play sessions in fenced areas while cats have access to climbing structures and interactive toys. Our attentive staff provides medication administration and personalized attention to ensure pets remain stress-free during owners' absences.

They are really good with all our dogs. One of our babies was abused by the original owners and is very skittish. She loves going here

We are new to the Farmville area and we needed a new vet to care for our 2 terriers. I am so glad we chose WG. The staff is kind and competent and the doctor truly cared about our furry family members.

Searched in vain for a Vet for my cat who was in need of care, called Vets all over Greenville, not 1 office even asked if I needed a routine appt, or if animal needed urgent care, just we are booking May 31, late June, July. This mornings, I decided to look in other parts of Eastern Carolina. I found this practice, called and explained situation, and was blessed to be told they had a cancelation.

They are wonderful, so kind, and they just went into action quickly. Cat has an obstruction, which they felt would be better treated in an Emergency Vet in Wilson. This practice is wonderful, and we will be switching our other 2 cats to this practice.

They have now where you can see a nurse, get the service( when you don't need a doctor) and pay in the room and go, instead of waiting in line.

I started going to Willow Grove Animal Clinic when I moved the Farmville. I love the staff, they are always so kind and it truly feels like they know your pets and care about them. Dr. Morphis has cared for all three of my dogs, including a sick puppy that wandered her way into my heart, nursing her back to good health! I have always felt that my needs were met and I appreciate the genuine care that is displayed here.

I would recommend this office to anyone who needs a reliable, friendly veterinarian! I have moved several times throughout the years, and I can say with confidence the larger vet clinics and hospitals pale in comparison to Willow Grove.

Absolutely terrible. Took our family dog there after she broke her femur since it was the nearest one. We knew the leg was broken. Carried her in. Two ladies tried to make her WALK knowing it was broken while she was in immense pain and then proceeded to tell us there was nothing they could do. Seemed convent that they would turn us down at 4:30pm on a Friday almost like they thought going home on time was more important than helping an animal in need. Wouldn't recommend anyone going there. Known of plenty of people turned down just as I was while having their pet crying in pain.
