Thank you for choosing our Boarding Facilities! Our facilities will allow your pet to be as comfortable as possible while you are away. Please feel free to contact us for a tour of our facilities at any time. Please do not assume your boarding arrangements are confirmed until we have contacted you to confirm the requested dates.
This will save you time when picking up your order. Please allow 24 hours for order processing. Do not come to the clinic until you have received confirmation to pick up your order. Note: Some prescriptions will require an examination of your pet prior to re-filling. Many prescriptions require your pet to be examined before dispensing.
When you arrive at Carpenter Animal Hospital and Pet Inn, you can expect quality care for your pet. When you check in with our front desk you'll be greeted by one of our friendly and courteous team members. A member of our medical staff will soon meet you in the lobby and bring you to an examination room where we'll ask a few questions and measure your pet's vital signs - just like when you go for a visit to your doctor!
I love how caring the staff is. I have had 2 of my dogs seen recently for several issues including UTI, ear infection, pinched nerve, eye infection and skin issues. In all of those instances Dr. C and Dr. Hodges have been awesome. I appreciate that someone always calls to see how my babies are doing after treatment and I feel that the prices are comparable to vets I've been to in the past.

Disrespectful and very unprofessional. The doctor purposely kept my dog and I waiting in the room nearly 20 minutes before showing up to begin the examination. She only came in after I was about to leave. The assistances are also careless. They can't even remember basic information about your pet. I'm not sure if it's deliberate or just outright negligence, but my dog and I will not be back. These people are so cold and unsympathetic I don't feel comfortable giving them anymore of my money.

Our four dogs are patients at Carpenter. We have left voicemails to get in touch with the groomer, Kim, and never get a call back. Very disappointing. We have had to find someone else while we wanted to keep all of our pet's care needs at one facility.

Where do I even begin…I took our boxer, Chip, to Carpenter Animal Hospital for simple boarding and while there decided to schedule an appointment to have a second opinion regarding his ongoing skin issues. In the last year, Chip’s been extremely inflamed and developed large bumps all over his back, head, and nose. While we cannot complain at all about our other vet (they were good to work with), after one meeting with Dr Turner we switched Chip to Carpenter Animal Hospital for diagnosis and treatment. This place is EXCELLENT! Dr Turner took the time to develop a relationship with us, which

I have been going to Carpenter Animal Hospital for the past five years. My dogs are getting older (11 & 12 yrs) and we just got our kitten last year. This is the only place I will take them!! They are kind and caring, and extremely professional and knowledgeable! I highly recommend Carpenter Animal Hospital, they have been so amazing and always there when I needed them.

We absolutely love Carpenter and all the folks who work there. We foster for a local dog rescue and we take a variety of furry friends there. Everything from regular checkups to more serious surgeries the dogs have been treated with care, and we feel so comfortable taking the dogs to them. They are great with people too, showing us how to administer insulin to our latest foster and making sure we were comfortable with what we are doing. They are very compassionate and take good care of the humans too when things are tough.

I haven't had a bad experience with them, and even though we&apos

We followed our vet (Dr. Kate Thompson) to Carpenter because she is such a wonderful & competent provider. She's incredibly thorough, always well-read & up-to-date on medications & treatments, & she has a way of making our pup feel at ease throughout the experience. I swear our pup is as excited to see her as she is to see us! She always listens to… our concerns & gives us time to ask any questions. We had a wellness visit recently & the entire Carpenter staff made the visit easy & informed us of everything with multiple updates, even though we couldn't go into

I just had a great experience here. My dachshund was having some serious stomach issues Friday afternoon and my regular vet could not/would not make time to see her. In the hopes of avoiding the emergency costs, I started calling other nearby vets, pleading them to see her. Carpenter heard me and got us an appointment within an hour. The front desk was welcoming, tech was warm and kind and our vet was gentle with her while giving me all the info I needed and answering questions. I left feeling much more confident and secure. I was contacted first thing the next day with results and solutions. Very

I moved to Cary, NC for a year and during that time, I took my kitties to Carpenter. Dr. Catala was wonderful with my older cat, as she tends to get bad anxiety at the vet. Dr Catala was also able to find my cat a good low calorie prescription food since she's so overweight. Since she's been on that food, she's steadily lost weight and has gotten so much healthier.

I also used them to board my kitties while on vacay and they were wonderful. I'd highly recommend this vet as they truly care about our animals' wellbeing, and it shows. The facility is nice and clean, everyone

I recently accompanied my friend to Carpenter Animal Hospital because she was unsure as to whether she would have to put her dog to sleep. Dr. Terrell treated her with incredible compassion and comforted her as she discussed the options for her dog. My friend went home that night and was able to have three more weeks with her dog. When the time came, a different veterinarian (I believe it was Dr. Catala) and a veterinary tech came to her house so that her sweet dog could pass comfortably in his own home. The loss of her dog was quite painful, but our interactions with Carpenter Animal Hospital

We are so touched by the thoughtfulness of the staff at Carpenter Animal Hospital and Pet Inn! We recently have had several hamsters and a guinea pig pass away (over a period of time), and the staff at Carpenter Animal Hospital has sent us sympathy cards with special messages written and signed by most, if not all of the staff! WOW! Our twin… 12-and-1/2-YO daughters have been touched and comforted, as have me and my wife! How kind and sweet of this team! No creature seems "too small" to be treated so very well. Happy Holidays to our friends and Carpenter Animal Hospital & Pet Inn!

We had to say goodbye to our sweet Sammie after 15 years and the team at Carpenter Animal Hospital was incredible. Their compassion, patience and support meant the world to us. Dr. Grimsrud is truly a beautiful person and an amazing veterinarian. The whole team is professional, courteous and kind. We are forever grateful.

I love this office. One of my cats has a chronic condition and Dr. Hodges is wonderful with her. I followed him to this clinic from another office. All of the doctors take the time to explain different treatment options (if applicable). They are caring and never rushed.

I have been there when the dogs check in for daycare. Every dog seems happy and eager to be there.

What a lovely animal hospital. Not only is it clean and decorated with furry friends in mind but the reception area is huge. The front desk staff is very lovely and welcoming. They have different items for sale like food, toys, clothes, beds, leashes, treats, anything your pet would need.

My sister brings her pup here so on my trip to visit her we stopped by since she told me they sell Virbac C.E.T. petite dental chews 30 count for only $10.94 which is a great deal since I can't find them in south Florida for less then $19. They also showed me other products that they recommend to keep my
