Your vet, groomer, boarder, daycare, and trainer — all in one building, all on one record. One team that actually knows your pet, from puppy shots through senior care.
Same-day urgent-care slots typically available before noon. Boarding pickups through 2 p.m. on Sundays.
Five services, one shared medical record, one set of people who greet your pet by name. No coordinating between a vet across town and a groomer down the street.
Full-service primary care: wellness exams, vaccinations, dental, diagnostics, and minor surgery.
Breed-aware grooming, bathing, nail care, and de-shed treatments by certified stylists.
Home-style overnight stays with three walks a day, webcam check-ins, and a vet just down the hall.
Supervised group play with temperament-matched cohorts, rest breaks, and structured enrichment.
Private and small-group training with certified trainers. Puppy, basic, and behavior programs.
Every Pawprint veterinarian is Fear Free certified and practices low-stress handling. You'll see the same vet on follow-ups — we don't rotate you between whoever happens to be scheduled.
Dr. Chen founded the clinical side of Pawprint in 2012 after three years at a mixed-animal practice outside Greensboro. She anchors the veterinary team and leads staff training on low-stress handling. Her special interests are feline medicine and geriatric pain management.
Dr. Patel joined Pawprint in 2019 from an emergency practice in Charlotte. He performs the majority of our dental and soft-tissue surgical cases and runs our Tuesday evening urgent-care clinic. Outside the exam room he's a long-distance trail runner, usually with his coonhound Maple.
Dr. Reyes splits her time between standard primary care and our behavior-medicine clinic, where she consults on anxiety, reactivity, and cognitive-decline cases alongside our training team. She's also our acupuncture and laser-therapy lead for osteoarthritis and post-surgical rehab.
Our online scheduler shows real-time availability across every vet, groomer, and trainer. No phone tag, no waiting for a callback.
Vet visit, grooming, boarding, daycare, or training — select what your pet needs.

We'll send a confirmation text and a reminder the morning of your appointment.

“Dr. Chen spent forty minutes with our anxious rescue and never rushed us. Six months later, Pepper walks into the lobby with her tail up. That has never happened at any vet we've been to.”— Meg & Pepper (rescue pit-mix, West Asheville)
