Followed Dr. Eldridge when she moved over to Animal Hospital. Same great service here as well as at FIretower Animal Clinic!!! Caring, hardworking staff and Docs at both!!

My Chinese Crested, Trixie, was diagnosed with lung cancer in July 2013. With the invaluable help of the veternarians and staff at Animal Hospital of Pitt County, she was given the best treatment possible and I was given the best advice possible on making her last days better. The vets took time for me when I would stop by with questions and spent lots of time with me. They truly cared about both Trixie and myself. She was able to live another 4 weeks before I had to put her down. I cannot express how much the care, professionalism and compassion everyone had for both Trixie and I. I have three other dogs and a cat and they will be treated at this wonderful facility.

We have been bringing our Animals here for many many years for Dr. House to care for and he always did such a great job even with our partially wild cat that would get very scared there. After his passing I was worried about what would happen there. We had just picked up a stray and brought her here the guy there said she was fixed and two weeks later she had 7 puppies. I was able to shake that off she was very thin at the time from not eating right. Recently my mom took in the puppy we kept to get kennel cough and rabies and it cost us around 40 dollars! They have started charging a fee just to visit. Dr. House would be turning over in his grave and if that wasn't enough today we called about our dog that we think has cancer and asked if there was any organization that could call to help out financially because there was no way we could afford any of it and all they said was if we do anything you need the money. So yes I used to recommend this place it used to be great. Now it looks nicer and is under new management but I couldn't tell anyone to take their animal there and not feel guilty.

So, for the record, Animal Hospital of Pitt County is under new ownership and management as of October 26th, 2012. The hospital is being renovated to bring it up to the standards required by the NC Veterinary Medical Board. The hospital was in danger of being shut down by the NCVMB if a buyer had not been found this past summer. I know many clients are concerned about change, and miss Dr. House. I hope you will visit the hospital to see the improvements and renovations that will make the hospital better able to serve the needs of clients and pets. While there have been some changes in personnel, many of the same employees are still there to help you. Dr. Heidi Leder will be helping with the transition. She has worked with our group for 5 years and is an excellent vet, having grown up on a farm in Wisconsin. Please come by and visit. We hope renovations will be finished by January 2013.

I took a 4 week old kitten in for a check up and Dr. Horton gave it so much worm medication it aspirated and began throwing up. Then she gave it something for that issue along with a big syringe of fluids. A couple of hours later the kitten was dead at their office being seen by another vet that said the kitten aspirated most likely and died from it. They did refund the money for the morning visit that killed the kitten and gave me a box to bury him in. They will never have my business again. It was just a fricking well visit for a baby cat.
