Senior Pet Program. Prevention is the best medicine and as such screening your senior pets before they have signs of illness is the best policy. Make an appointment to have a "Senior Pet Exam" that includes a complete exam, full bloodwork (CBC, blood chemistry, thyroid level), and blood pressure evaluation at a cost of $160.00.
Dental Program. We understand that money is tight and as such have worked hard at keeping the prices of routine care manageable. Our dental program includes in-house preanesthetic bloodwork, IV catheter, anesthesia, and routine dental cleaning for $210.00, a true value in today's veterinary care costs. **extractions, medications, and severe tartar addition.
Toe Nail Trims. We will continue to offer our routine $5.00 toe nail trim. However, for $12.00 we can dremel your pet's nails short and smooth. Well worth the addition fee!

Pittsboro Animal Hospital has been a mainstay of Chatham County for over 20 years. In the summer of 2006 the hospital was purchased by Dr. Laurie Weiser, a graduate of the University of California, Davis Veterinary School. For more information about Dr. Laurie Weiser and the staff here at Pittsboro Animal Hospital please go to the "Meet the Staff" page.
Our highly skilled staff will care for your pet with compassion, kindness, and patience. Our clients will always be treated with courtesy, promptness, and understanding.

Our recently remodeled hospital is equipped with a brand new state-of-the-art complete in-house laboratory. We are one of the few hospitals in the greater area that can evaluate a complete blood chemistry, red and white blood cell parameters, and electrolytes in house. This is critical for accurate care during an emergency, performing pre-anesthetic monitoring, and general wellness checks of our aging pets. Here at Pittsboro Animal Hospital we also have the equipment to perform radiography, monitor blood pressure, ECG, and monitor for glaucoma.
In addition to updating the veterinary hospital we also have been renovating the boarding facility to make it a true pet resort. We have fenced in two large yards and the pet suites are well under construction. Other additions will include indoor play area, wading pools for summer fun, and a jungle-gym for the outdoor yards. Please see the Pet Resort page for further information and pictures.
No need to drive to Apex anymore for your pet's needs! Our complete pet retail store is stocked with all the general items for your pet...beds, leashes, collars, kitty litter/ boxes, etc. All our food and treats have been carefully selected to offer your pet the best nutrition and natural foods available. Please go to the "Retail Pet Store" page for more information on the products we carry.

| Billy Russell |
|
|
Please welcome our staff member "Billy Russell" next time you come visit. Billy is the laziest cat so you may not even see him as he rarely gets off the chair. When he does decide to move (especially if a bag of food is opened) he is quite content to sit in your lap, purr and drool. We had to make some design changes to the hospital to accommodate his voracious appetite...to date he has probably opened 30 bags of food. Billy has topped out at about 18lbs so is now on a strict diet to get him back to his svelte 14lb frame. Update 12/2009...Billy has been on a strict diet of Purina OM and is now back to his fighting weight of 14 lbs! Go Billy...now if our 2010 New Year's Resolutions can be as successful!

| Doogie |
|
|
Doogie is our most current acquisition. He had been in a foster home for a very long time and was unadoptable due to having inflammatory bowel disease. He appears to be well controlled here and has been a great addition to our family. He enjoys sitting on the front counter batting at the clients pens as they write.

| Dodger |
|
|
Dodger was also in foster care for many years with chronic eye discharge. He had been misdiagnosed with a chronic upper respiratory infection for years. Upon our examination we realized that he did not have a URI but needed surgery for entropion (a curling of the eyelids). We performed surgery and decided to keep him. Surgery was a great success and his eyes are now open and comfortable! He is a bit head shy due to having had long standing eye discomfort but is adjusting well. To see pictures of Dodger's surgery click on his picture above.
