To start off, THANK YOU to Heather for her patience. I have a pitbull who does NOT like his nails…read moredone. We had to stop trying to cut them once he started to try and bite us. The vet will do it, but they're scared of him. And the lady I was taking him to is all the way in Elizabeth City. Staff was so patient with my pitty and we didn't even have to muzzle him! I felt bad though because once we got to the last nail he had finally had enough and really let her know... But all together, staff is so friendly, they wre AMAZINGLY priced, and they have such great patience.

I cannot sing the praises of the BAH staff enough. I've been taking my pup there for about eight…read moreyears now and they have always exceeded my expectations with his care. Over the years, my pup has been treated by Dr. Barker, Dr. Perkins, and Dr. Shields. All of whom have always provided caring, gentle care. The vet techs and assistants are equally as wonderful and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. During the eight years that my pup has been a patient he has been through some pretty gnarly situations and the BAH team has been unfaltering in their care and treatment of both my pup and my myself. I highly recommend checking out the wellness programs that they offer. I have a wellness plan for my pup and it has saved me loads of money over the years and brings me peace of mind when needing to get my pup in for a quick, last minute vet exam for whatever unforeseen situation we find ourselves in. The wellness program is also excellent when it comes to dental cleanings! I've had my pups teeth cleaned yearly with them and am so grateful for it. Improper/poor dental hygiene is detrimental to our creatures, especially as they age. 10/10 recommend Barker Animal Hospital.

It is obvious to me how much they love the animals in their care, as shown through how they treat ours. Through our dog's major Cardiac scare, they made sure to work with me to get the best care for him. We are a military family that has moved a lot, and this is by far my favorite vet office we've been with. I will be sad when the day comes that we have to leave!

We had only been in the area for a month and a half when one of our cats inexplicably lost most…read moremotor function in her back legs. We were able to make a same-day appointment with vets who specialize in cat care. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the vet was amazing with her. Costs were explained up-front, and options were provided based on financial situations. I was given a possible prognosis (not good), but I took the option to have some meds to see if we could mitigate the problem. The next day, her symptoms had gotten slightly worse, and she was beginning to show signs of pain. We immediately called the hospital, and were able to make an appointment almost immediately. We saw a different vet as the one we saw before was not in that office that day, but she was also amazing. We explained what we had seen, and after another simple diagnostic test, we had our answer... a terminal issue that would not resolve and would continue to cause increasing pain. We took her home to say goodbye to the family and we scheduled euthanasia. Everyone involved were nothing but kind and considerate to both Ella (the cat), and our family, explaining everything as they went and providing options where they could. They even gave us a sympathy card signed by all of the staff. While not a happy story, their kindness, compassion, knowledge, and willingness to work with us on financial options ensured that this hospital has become our new vet for our remaining pets.
