Services

Pet Wellness

Our wellness program includes comprehensive physical exams, vaccinations, and health screenings to detect early signs of disease. We create customized preventive plans based on your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle. Regular wellness visits help maintain optimal health and extend your pet's lifespan through early intervention.

Dental Care

We provide complete dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Our digital dental radiography enables precise diagnosis of oral health issues. Preventive dental care helps avoid systemic infections that can affect vital organs like the heart and kidneys.

Surgery

Our surgical services range from routine spays/neuters to complex soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. Board-certified surgeons handle specialized cases while our emergency team manages trauma situations. Advanced monitoring equipment ensures patient safety during all surgical procedures.

Diagnostic Imaging

We utilize digital radiography, ultrasound, and endoscopy for accurate internal diagnostics. These technologies help identify issues like fractures, tumors, and organ abnormalities without invasive procedures. Quick imaging capabilities enable prompt diagnosis and treatment planning for critical cases.

Laser Therapy

Class IV laser therapy provides non-invasive pain relief for arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and chronic conditions. This treatment reduces inflammation and promotes healing without medication side effects. We incorporate laser therapy into comprehensive treatment plans for senior pets and rehabilitation cases.

The staff at North Elm Animal Hospital are exceptional and the most caring veterinarians I have ever encountered! Thank you for saving BELLA and her 7 puppies that were delivered by emergency C-Section today. Without you and your amazing staff, Bella would not be here tonight. I called and you answered, and Bella was on her way to surgery. I called numerous vets in both Asheboro and Greensboro and none of them could/would help her immediately, but your office did, and we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are also very affordable which is great. Thank you again for saving Bella and her babies. You guys are truly wonderful, and I would give you 100 stars if I could!

Words cannot express how thankful I am to our Vets Office! The docs and staff at North Elm Animal Hospital have been nothing but incredible through the loss of our good girl Lucy. The entire experience was handled with such grace and thoughtfulness. We had her cremated and while we waited for her ashes to be ready, we got a card with handwritten notes from all three of the docs that Lucy had seen over the years, and paw prints they had taken of all four of her sweet feet!

Then when we picked up her ashes we expected a bag in a card bore box, but no, we received a beautiful carved wooden box with a metal plate with her name on it! Then today in the mail, we received a card letting us know that North Elm donated to Dylans Heart on Lucys behalf!!
