Sedgefield Animal Hospital & Dental Center
Medication and prescription diet pick-ups (please give a 24 hour notice prior to picking up!). Back in February, we decided to be closed on Saturdays and temporarily stopped routine overnight boarding. For now we will continue to keep these changes in place. Our office hours are Monday through Friday 7:30am - 6:00pm.

We will still offer daycare and bathing services. We understand these changes may be inconvenient and can provide recommendations for other boarding facilities or petsitters. If you rely on Saturday hours for picking up medications or supplies, please ask a team member about our home delivery pharmacy options!.

My name is Brooke Schwabenton Townsend, but most people just call me Dr. Brooke. I grew up here in Greensboro, NC- riding horses through Adams Farm back when it really was a farm! I left Greensboro for school- completing my undergraduate studies at Warren Wilson College outside of Asheville and then receiving my doctorate in veterinary medicine at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2002.
Dr. Banker is a Fellow in the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry with over 30 years of advanced dental experience. Advanced dental care is available, including periodontal therapy, root canals, crowns and orthodontics. Dr. Banker was the first person in the Mid Atlantic States to become certified as a Fellow in the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry.
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of twice yearly physical examinations. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We strive to prevent illness whenever possible. The time and effort invested in Wellness programs has rewards for both pets and owners.
To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we operate primarily by appointment. Emergency cases shall always receive top priority, which is why occasional appointment delay is inevitable. Please realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client on time. For your convenience, 'drop-off' appointments are available.
Many people have questions about various aspects of their pet's surgery, and we hope this information will help. It also explains the decisions you will need to make before your pet's upcoming surgery. Is the anesthetic safe? Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past.

Dr Brooke was prompt, considerate and compassionate with our furry family member. She obviously has a passion for animals.

I know COVID has caused negative issues for many businesses but we had a scheduled appointment for our elderly dog who is very anxious. We arrived well before our appointment time, checked in and waited in the parking lot due to COVID protocol. We waited 20 minutes past our appointment time and left in frustration while other cars were coming and going, picking up their pets and getting attention. I received a call from the office after we left asking where we were and I told them we had to leave. Our dog was in distress from the ride and the long wait so we went home. Now, I've tried to call back

Very, very kind and helpful to me in helping me put my 9 year old Saint Bernard to sleep. I couldn't have gotten a kinder vet to help me with this.

I’m going to start by saying I received some pretty terrible news about my 10 yr old pup. I took him to my normal vet twice about the same issue. Now I know as everyone else does when somethings not right about your baby. (Pup) but still my baby boy. He had a eye issue and it didn’t look right. First, I was given a steroid and told he wasn’t in pain. Too
be fair, it did seem to help some. But after awhile it started looking bad once again. I took him back. They checked him out and said his eye did look worse but nothing much to worry about. Well fast forward 3 months. He wasn’t eating

We had a wonderful experience with Dr.Poore!! She guided us through our dogs needs and spent a long time explaining how the surgery would go. We received phone calls through out her surgery about updates of Katie’s tooth removal. So thankful for Dr.Poore and her passion and love for all animals. She truly is the most wonderful Veterinarian!!!!!

This place is amazing and you can feel how much they care for your pets! I had an emergency with my dog (which is my baby) and they did there absolute best. I had to go to an emergency vet after but even after a week from them seeing my fur baby they called everyday to check on him. It was my first time there and they still thought to call to check on him everyday. It’s the little things that mean so much. So happy I decided to take my dog here.

Vets are expensive, but this one delivers top-notch care. Both of my dogs routinely visit. When my 14 year old had an incurable situation I couldn't believe how compassionate the entire staff was. My sweet old dog had a lovely transition to the Rainbow Bridge, and I'm very thankful for the measures the doctor and staff took to make sure she was comfortable. Not only are they great at what they do, they're personable and friendly. They even have their own pets :)

This in my opinion is a very complete facility with a very competent staff. My Sheppard mix's diet had slowed to nothing and I went to my vet (Viewmont Animal Hospital) in Hickory, NC. She was diagnosed as being an older dog..... That's no lie! I took her here thinking she may have a dental problem and the doctor checked her over completely. Checked her mouth, teeth, eyes, heart, lungs & physical structure. He reported that the dog has worn teeth because she's an older dog but that nothing suggests to him the dog's diet has declined because of her teeth. He continued
