East Carolina Animal Emergency

Early last Monday morning, I had to bring my beloved boxer, Manny, to East Carolina Animal Emergency. Unfortunately, his condition was very severe, and I had to make the heartbreaking decision to help him cross the rainbow bridge. As difficult as that moment was, especially being there by myself, Dr. Pendry and her incredible staff showed me the utmost compassion, empathy, and genuine care throughout the entire process. From the moment we arrived, I could feel how much they truly cared, not only for Manny, but for me as well. Dr. Pendry took her time to explain everything with such tenderness and understanding, ensuring I never felt alone during one of the hardest moments of my life. Her kindness, patience, and professionalism were deeply comforting, and the entire team treated Manny with

Unfortunately my cat passed at home for a cardiac event or aneurysm right before they opened. I called before they opened by 10ish minutes and understood the receptionists hesitance as they were not open yet and did appreciate the fact that the call was even answered. although I was still emotional and was met with " we do not open until 8 so either you can call back or wait. ". I understood and have been in the veterinary field myself and was just very emotional. Chelsea picked up the phone after I told the initial receptionist well I guess there is nothing to do at this point and was very emotional. This was a very hard one for me knowing there was nothing else I could do and only wanted to ask quickly about aftercare but Chelsea was more than understanding and helped me with my questio

ECAE gave my family and I peace of mind. Our sweet Basset had spinal surgery last summer so when she started army crawling and tucking her rear end tight I was so upset she may have tweaked her back again. We took her in as soon as they opened and we were met with compassion and support from multiple staff members. They were transparent from the beginning. It is so nice to have them in our small area where emergency care is not readily available!

We were in and out in less than an hour. They were so sweet to my drama llama. Their prices are quite reasonable consideline they are an emergency vet. Highly recommend, even for the not quite an emergency situations. Maxx's regular vet isn't open on Saturday, so when he started being dramatic Friday night, I didn't want him to wait until Monday for relief.

I had to take my Chihuahua Faith in on May 31st, 2025 because she was having trouble walking and keeping her balance. I was impressed with them from the phone call with the receptionist, to checking in and then being seen by the veterinarian. Dr. Pendry was amazing and so good with my little girl and I felt completely confident in her. It turned out that she was diagnosed with Vestibular Disease (doggie vertigo). I would highly recommend trusting them with your pet in an emergency! I was pleased with the care that Faith received. Thank you Dr. Pendry and staff! She's been doing great since our visit. 🙏❤️
