About Us
Serving the Sanford area with pride since 1977. Carolina Veterinary Hospital is a small animal general medicine and preventive care practice with compassion. We offer comprehensive preventive care as well as routine surgical procedures and dental cleaning for our canine and feline patients.
How We Got Started
Carolina Veterinary Hospital was founded over 40 years ago. Dr Julie Davis joined the practice in 2017, took on management roles in 2018, and purchased the practice April 2020. With a focus on compassionate care for patients and clients CVH continues to grow. We added Dr Tyler Brady to the team on Mondays (he teaches in the veterinary technology program at CCCC) and we plan to add another part time doctor in the near future.

The only time I ever recommended a grain-free diet was when a pet went to the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine dermatology service and was positively diagnosed with allergies to grains. Grain allergies are extremely rare in pets. Dogs and cats so need a certain amount of the carbohydrates and other nutrients provided by grains. Their wild predecessors would eat the partially digested grains in the digestive tracts of the prey they killed as well as edible ingredients they foraged (dogs are omnivores). Regardless of the argument that the digestive systems of domesticated pets have changed over the thousands of years of cohabitation with humans, domestic pets do need the benefits of grains in their diet. That being said, any food they eat should be formulated for to meet their needs. Commercially made food should always have research backing up the formula and home-made diets should only be made under the direction of a veterinary nutrition specialist to ensure the diet it's not deficient in any essential nutrients. Raw diets should be avoided due to the high risk of salmonella, listeria, and other contaminants associated with mass production of raw diets.

We never close to begin with. Has it veterinary hospital, we remained open to take care of sick patients only until phase one of reopening. At that time, we opened up to all sick and healthy patients, but are performing curbside service. Unfortunately, curbside takes double the amount of time as having pets and owners in the building. We will continue curbside service throughout phase two of reopening. At that time, we will reevaluate whether or not to open our lobby. When we do open the lobby, it will be a staged opening with clients calling from the parking lot and being escorted directly to an exam room. We are going to abide by a policy that if they decide not to wear a mask, they will be served via curbside service for the safety of everyone in the building. As a medical facility, we were told to treat each case independently and assess the risk and threat of each case in order to handle each situation as appropriately as possible. To me, that means I can elect curbside service over in-the-building service on a case-by-case basis for the health of all involved.

Even though my business would significantly benefit from some assistance due to the increase in operating cost associated with PPE and extended time per patient for additional safety protocols, my business does not qualify at all for any government assistance. I was in the process of a purchase of the business for the past year and the purchase finalized during they pandemic. As a result, since I did not have any employees on my payroll in February, I cannot get payroll assistance. The former owner of the business did qualify and received a loan for payroll protection but it is non-transferabl. As a result, I have personally not taken a paycheck in over 5 weeks in order to ensure my employees are paid.
