Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital

I've had a great experience with all of the staff at Animal Kingdom with both my dog and guinea pigs! They are very gentle and understanding with my dog, who gets nervous/anxious, and I have found the clinic's environment to be much calmer and cozier than other larger clinics! Dr. Highsmith has been excellent with my pets and I am so glad I found Animal Kingdom. As a bonus, they accept PetAssure!

I brought my bunny (who hadn't been eating) into the office and she was seen by Dr. Highsmith. Dr. Highsmith came into the room and immediately started loving on Hunny. She took great care of her - the whole staff did. Every one of them made me feel comfortable leaving my bunny with them for her tests. They explained to me what I needed to do for her at home. After a few days, Hunny was hopping around like nothing had ever been wrong. I then had to bring my guinea pig, Angel, in because she was very sick. Again...excellent treatment from everyone. We found a very large tumor in her stomach and Dr. Highsmith couldn't feel her heartbeat on one side, which meant there was probably another tumor in the way. I made the painful decision to let her go to sleep and be pain-free. It was so hard, but everyone was so sweet and caring. I decided to have her cremated. When I came into pick up the ashes, they had put them in a beautiful box and had also made a little footprint for me of her little paw. It meant so much to me. I appreciate this place SO MUCH. On top of all that, I just received a card from them telling me how sorry they were about our family losing our sweet Angel. Way above and beyond. I will never take my pets anywhere else. I wish this could be a 10-start review because they would get all 10 stars. Thank you for taking care of my furry family 🙂

Not better place to take your fur babies to. I have been with them for over 12 years and several different pets and they have never disappointed our family.

I give 2 stars because we had good experiences previous to this. I found out from a different vet, that my puppy has severe bronchitis and may need his lungs flushed out. This news comes after three visits at Animal Kingdom regarding what I suspected could be kennel cough. I trusted the judgement of veterinary staff over my own research. Our last visit I pushed to get antibiotics even after the doctor didn’t feel it was necessary. It was more so given "just to be safe" and to give me peace of mind. I wish I had insisted an X-ray but once again was suggested that wasn’t necessary. With no relief on the antibiotics, we received a second opinion and are faced with the results of not receiving proper treatment for what was kennel cough.

I can’t recommend them highly enough, especially Dr Midkiff! All the staff were super friendly and so gentle with my cat Creamy. But the love and compassion that Dr Midkiff showed was over the top. She will always be the doctor for my pets!

We love Animal Kingdom! We found them when we added 2 rabbits to our family, as they are one of few vets in the area that are knowledgeable about the species. We were so impressed we decided to bring all our fur babies to them. Dr. Highsmith and her staff are kind, compassionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. It’s nice to have a vet and staff that remember us and our pets. They are reasonably priced as well! When we had our rabbits spayed & neutered, their price was about half of what we were quoted at another veterinary office and Animal Kingdom accepted spca vouchers to use towards the service. To me, this shows that they care more about the community and families they serve rather than gouging them unnecessarily. Today we had our sweet, 14 year old, mixed breed dog put down. He was old, tired and had become very uncomfortable. The staff was again kind and compassionate, explaining everything in advance and again along the way during the emotional event. We will continue to travel from Fuquay to see Dr. Highsmith and her staff as long as we have fur babies.

Dr Highsmith is absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately whomever I spoke with this morning decided to speak to me like a child in a lovely condescending way. To expect someone to call the vet that killed their dog for a rabies vaccine record is pretty bad. So deactivate my account for my girls. Definitely won't be back.
