I rescue pets/animals and my 1 young cat, 1 tiny kitten rescue turned into a family of SIX KITTENS including mom! The team at CareFirst went above and beyond to help, including food and litter donations!
I am still trying to get 4 of the 6 adopted but I will be recommending they be taken to CareFirst for their veterinary needs.
Thank you all so much!

When your vet just stands up....and says you look like you need a hug...and gives you a real hug...you know they are good people. They also helped me reunite a lost pet I found out in the rain with their owner! They scanned the puppies chip, contacted the owner for me, and made sure there was a happy reunion. Their actions, not just their words, show you they really care about both the pets and their owners.

Our fur family has always been cared for by CareFirst (even before the name change). Two big labs, one loving newfoundland, and now two "ankle-biters." The staff is excellent in scheduling us around my work hours, and the vets' attentiveness assures me they are in the best hands. The two little ones just came home today groggy from teeth-cleanings, a perk included in their Care package. (I'm also pleased CareFirst is so active in giving; for example, matching-funds programs with Wake SPCA, caring about all pets, not just those with families.)

Our toy Pomeranian is 18 years old, and has been a patient with Care First Glenwood since his birth. They've gotten us through puppy, juvenile, adult, and now senior issues with our fur baby. They have done this with patience, professionalism, and great care for this ever so important member of our family. I do ask specifically for Dr Ghneim, not because the other Veterinarians aren't as qualified, but because he knows our history and he always takes the time to explain to us exactly what is going on and has been a such a huge source of support as we have traversed some serious condition treatments and care. We travel for our work, and live all over the country, but I always use this location as home base, require that all other vets in other states include them in care strategy when we are away from home, and always come back here for status updates and check ups. You simply cannot go wrong with these wonderful people. Believe me, I've had to use Veterinarians in 5 other states over the years, and I trust no one as I do this group of dedicated and bright individuals. I wish I could post a picture of my little guy because at 18, he looks and acts like a young pup. That can be directly attributed to the care of this team

They are wonderful vets, each one. I have a 13 year old and a 1 yr. old and they are great with both and treat your pet with caring and concern because they understand how important your pet is to you and treat it as such. My older dog has a heart problem and they are wonderful with knowing I am on a limited budget so we do what we HAVE to do and not the frills. I read the other review and both my maltese are groomed there and my cat and they have always looked great - my problem is they are that good it takes a long time to get the appt. Book in advance then set up regular schedule - best way. I love this office the staff is great too. You will never be sorry taking your pet there -
