So thankful for Dr. Bailey and Dr. Craddock for all the TLC they have shown to our dog. They are always kind, compassionate and take the time to make sure they address all of our questions. They are extremely knowledgeable and offer the best advice for us to care for our dog. I am so very thankful for them both as well as the awesome office staff that assist as well. read more

I've known Dr. Craddock @ Chatham Animal Hospital taking my pets there since 2013. That's a long time to work with someone in varied and sometimes urgent and tense situations. She is always an amazingly competent Vet who understands how much your pet means to you, besides being a wonderfully warm person herself. read more

Dr. Bailey is great!! I just took my cat here today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I moved to the area recently and it has taken a few tries to find a good vet. Everything was amazing at Chatham I am so happy I found them! read more

No confidence in staff and management. Mistakes made with prescription ordering. Charges for services are high.

I have been taking my pets to Chatham Animal Hospital for many years. The veterinarians there are all outstanding. Dr. K saved my cat's life, providing multiple surgeries and procedures 8 years ago after she was bitten by a dog. He spent so much time with her and just went above and beyond. Dr. Bailey has taken excellent care of my two dogs for 11 years, through one having cancer and now the other in renal failure. He is very compassionate and respectful of my wishes for my girls. I moved from Cary to Raleigh 6 years ago and still take them to Chatham, and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. read more

My cat has always received great care and attention from the doctors. The technicians and staff are also friendly and attentive.

Great experience for our puppy! Dr. Pooch answered my 1000 questions with patience and humor, the facility is welcoming, comfortable, quiet and clean. Always quick to respond and helpful. read more

Amazing experience, friendly staff, beautiful facility, and overall everything I could have asked for in a vet! I recently established care for my cat with Chatham Animal Hospital after she ran away for a few days, and Dr. Bailey walked me through everything I needed to know about her health with patience and positivity. I felt reassured that my cat was in the best hands, and am glad to know that she has a team of compassionate professionals that has her back if ever needed. I highly recommend this team for cat care- thank you so much Dr. Bailey and staff! read more

Incredibly thorough and caring clinic. I've been taking my pets here since I moved to NC 9 years ago. When my cat became sick, Dr. Bailey and Dr. K did everything in their power (multiple times) to help her and try to make her and myself more comfortable. I had moved slightly further away from CAH a few years ago and decided to try the vet hospital across the street when I got my dog, Goose, but everything in my experience there led me to realize how unique of a place Chatham is. Every time I call or come in I am welcomed with enthusiasm and warmth. I know they have a lot of patients, and the fact that they remember me and my dog simply by the sound of my voice on the phone is pretty profound. Not to mention the quality of care is incredible. We mostly see Dr. Bailey, and it's apparent he is a true animal lover. He is thorough, thoughtful, and my dog absolutely loves him. In fact, my dog actually loves going to this clinic. Couldn't ask for more. This place is the best read more

I cannot say enough good things about Chatham animal Hospital. I needed some last minute paperwork and physical for my cat for international travel. Dr. Morgan Craddock and her team really went above and beyond to help me out in a pinch! Not every veterinarian works with and understands the process for international travel for animals so I feel really lucky to have found them. Superb service, excellent care, and fabulous staff. What more could you want?? read more

I would highly recommend both Dr. Matthew Bailey and Dr. Morgan Craddock. I met Morgan through my job 2 years ago and moved our pets to this clinic because I liked her so much. We have continued to take our pets to Chatham even though I no longer work nearby (and live almost 30 minutes away). We recently lost our 17 year old cat, Stanley. Not only were they very supportive and caring during this difficult time, but they also sent flowers upon his passing. I was floored! Especially since they were not involved (we used Lap of Love). Both Dr. Bailey and Dr. Craddock are not only great veterinarians, but they are truly compassionate and considerate people. read more

Dr Bailey is absolutely amazing and put new completely at ease. My cars went to Petsmart at park west in morrisville previously, and we had an AWFUL experience there. One of my cats was being difficult, so they took her to another room, and I could hear her howling down the hallway. It broke my heart and made me feel incredibly uneasy. I had always gone to a petsmart back where I'm from in Kansas City, so I didn't do research when I moved to this area. I wish I had because it would have saved me a lot of heartache. Dr Bailey was amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions you have. And I bombarded him with a ton, since my cats are my babies. I was giving my cat a medication that I guess she didn't need, that the last vet from petsmart said she had to have, but Dr Bailey said not to bother with it, it doesn't work. They checked up on my cats to see if they were feeling better, which I really love. If you want the best care for your pets, do yourself a favor and go here you won't be disappointed. read more

I feel compelled to write another review about friends at CAH because I looked back the other day at where my pups and I would be without the careful touch, expert care and surgical skill provided by DR. K, Dr, Baileythe number of incidences saving my dog's life, taking emergencies or administering Dr.K has solved and other two amazing Vets read more

Great care but they have a really bad habbit of putting you on hold when you call in for a VERY long time. Call in to make a quick appointment, on hold for almost 10 minutes. This happens almost EVERY TIME. Its the most frustrating thing. read more

I have been with the same vet since I got my dog 4 years ago. Finally after several moves I figured it was time to find one closer, and I am glad I did. While Chatham was not the closest, it had the best reviews and I can see why. It doesn't take much for a vet to impress me, however my dog Teddy is a completely different story. He has never liked the vet and it has always led to me either holding him down or putting a muzzle on him. Well I can safely say that he likes Chatham Animal Hospital. He liked pretty much everyone he ran into, and when I was in the examination room he even walked around without the leash he was so comfortable. Dr Bailey, treated him so well that by the end you would have thought they were old buddies. I was here for his annual checkup, but he also had an ear problem, that Dr Bailey quickly diagnosed and laid out all the options, and did not try to push me towards the most expensive one. At the end, including the new client coupon, the total bill came out to around $250. That included all his shots and test, 6 months heartworm, as well as medicine for his ear. I am very happy with that cost and I will certainly be coming back. read more

Clean facilities and ok staff. I have dealt with a number of vets over the years in different states and this place is not the greatest. On my second visit I was told I had not been charged a $150 exam fee for one of my dogs, and sure enough when I grabbed the receipt from my car I had been charged. They also require a number of tests and recurring booster shots twice a year when most vets (actually all vets I have worked with) require them once a year. When I was taking my dog into the groomer for the second time I was told she needed one of these biannual booster shots, as I was not told this when I made the grooming appointment I asked if I could wait so both my dogs could get this done at the same time, the answer was no. So I either had to get the shot or she wasn't getting groomed. Waste of my time. This place likes to upcharge and add fees to your visit, if you take your furry friends here make sure to keep the receipts and records of your visit. read more

My husband and I haven't used Chatham Animal Hospital for long but in the amount time that we did, we have nothing but good things to say about them. We had seen Dr. Curtis once and Dr. Bailey twice and both doctors I felt had the concern and passion to try to help our sickly dog as much as they could over the last few months of his life. Rhett, our poodle, had previously had three bladder stone surgeries by other vets which ultimately led to his deterioration and lessened his quality of life. In his last few months he was unable to control his bodily functions, seemed to not sleep as much and lost interest in many of the things that he loved in life. After a very hard night with the sickest he's ever been, we took him to CAH where Dr. Bailey offered us one last resort, but was honest enough to let us know that treatment would be expensive and may not work. We were then forced to make the toughest decision we've ever been faced with based on what we had already been through with Rhett which was to let him go. Dr. Bailey was very respectful with our wishes, gave us as much time as we needed and offered his heart felt condolences. After what felt like the longest drive home yesterday, my husband and I came home to an empty and quiet home. A few hours later we heard a knock at our front door and there stood a lady with a flower arrangement addressed to us from CHA. What a thoughtful thing for this hospital to do knowing how hard this was for us. Even though this has been very difficult, the doctors and staff could not have been better to our family. We will forever be grateful. read more

The greatest vet and team in the whole world. Doc Bailey and his crew instill me with confidence when I bring my dogs there, and I'm there fairly often as I have 3. The compassion, patience and knowledge they exhibit makes me feel good about getting the absolute best care for my dogs. I have had dogs since I was young and have lived in many parts of the country, and never have I been so happy about my veterinarian. read more

The staff here are wonderful! I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Bailey! He treats our pets like his own and is always upfront and honest about the different options we have in regards to the care of our pets. I trust him and the staff at Chatham Animal Hospital completely. They have always made us feel like valued clients and we will continue to come to this wonderful practice! read more

Wouldn't go to anyone else! All of the staff are amazing but our go to is Dr. Morgan Craddock. She is absolutely awesome and truly cares about the pets! Never over charge, extremely reasonable, responsive, and always work through the best treatment for the pet, not for their pockets. We love Chatham, Dr. Craddock, and the rest of the staff! read more

Having recently moved from the Chicago/Milwaukee area to Cary, I was in need of finding a respectable/competent/friendly/reasonably priced vet for my almost 9-year old dog. His vet in Milwaukee at Silver Spring Wellness Center was probably my favorite in terms of how she approached the practice of medicine, particularly for senior dogs, so after some careful searching, I decided to give Chatham Animal Hospital a try. Location: 4 out of 5 Laugh all you want, and it's warranted, but since I do live close to Bond Park in Cary, finding a vet that's within a 8 - 10 minute drive right off of Chatham was pretty clutch. They're sort of hidden on Oceana Place, and parking is free and ample. They even provide poop bags in case your creature needs to defile the property (or needs a fecal sample). Front of House Customer Service: 4.5 out of 5 The two guys that worked up front on the day I took my dog in (Percy and James) were really great. Friendly, warm, and punctual to get my dog all set for his vet visit. Remarkably, or perhaps not, the only person that was a bit off putting, and maybe it was just out of context, was the gentleman who I presumed to be the practice manager. At one point, within earshot of other customers in the lobby, it sounded like he was whining or prattling on about how "even though he wasn't a fully trained veterinary assistant, he could still do SOME things to help." Again, this was taken out of context in one moment when the door in the lobby to the rest of the practice was open, so if he was really whining or not, I really don't have a clue. It does bring up a good point about using discretion when speaking within earshot of customers, however. In the grand scheme of things, not that big of a deal to me. Vet and Vet Assistant: 5 out of 5 Dr. Bailey and TJ were great with Yukon. I like to think that it helps when I warned them about things he doesn't like and things he might be sensitive or snappy at. Even when Yukon put his little teefuses into Dr. Bailey's hands when he went in for an ear exam (and therefore, had to wear the soft muzzle of shame), Dr. Bailey brushed it off, didn't say anything, and continued to be the utmost of professional, kind, and thorough. TJ was a really great help too, as the dog can be a little crotchety sometimes. Having her there to pet him and assure him that everything was ok made me feel better, and probably made the dog feel a little better as well. A few specific notes: For having a strong dentistry background, I was surprised when Dr. Bailey didn't try to push a teeth cleaning. Our vet in Chicago was a little bit more aggressive in her preferred treatment, but our vet in Milwaukee noted that with brushings every other day with enzymatic toothpaste, he'd be fine even if there were slight staining on the teeth. Dr. Bailey concurred, so the lack of an upsell was nice. Dr. Bailey WAS firm in his belief that Frontline Plus is not as effective against fleas and ticks here in NC, and since I had seen a few anecdotal reviews stating as such, I was fine taking the suggestion that I should put my dog on Bravecto. Dr. Bailey was fine with continuing the generic version of HeartGuard Plus (Iverhart). Value: 5 out of 5 For the yearly exam, 3 year rabies vaccine, 6 month Bordatella, 4DX screening, Poop screening, 3 year distemper, and 1 year Lepto, the damage came out to almost exactly 200$ with a new customer coupon. Much cheaper than in Chicago or Milwaukee, so no complaints here. Overall: 5 out of 5 Great experience all around. read more

Once again....I want to thank Dr. Matthew Bailey and his staff for taking such good care oh Dholi for her second surgical procedure ( for different things). Always happy and friendly knowledgeable and professional. We switched to Chatham on the suggestion of my sister in law. I cannot say enough what a great change it was for us and our girls. We will continue to be clients. Thanks so much. read more

I recently moved to Cary and adopted a new kitten. I looked on Yelp for a good vet, and based on reviews, I chose Chatham Animal Hospital. I couldn't be happier with my decision! All of the staff are so nice and helpful, and my kitten's new vet (Dr. Bailey) is awesome! I've never had a vet spend so much time with me during a visit; explaining everything. You can tell that everyone there really cares about the animals in their care. If you are looking for a new vet, I highly recommend Chatham Animal Hospital! read more

Dr. Craddock and Dr. Baily are amazing. We moved to the area 4 years ago and have brought our lab and papillion to CAH since the move. Compassionate, understanding, and thorough are just a few of the things that I can say about the Drs and the staff at CAH. We were at ease with them from the moment we walked in 4 years ago and they were so emotionally vested in the well being of our pets that even our neurotic dogs felt comfortable during their visits. They take the time necessary to explain tests, medications, and procedures that helped us make the right decisions with regard to our fur babies and we never felt rushed through a visit. read more

I would not trust any other vet with my animals. Dr. Bailey is fantastic.

When my old vet didn't have time to see my dog on an emergency call,a couple friends recommended I call Chatham animal. From beginning to end of our week of panic this clinic was amazing. We were warmly welcomed over the phone and greeted immediately upon arrival. Dr K went over every inch of my dog and explained every possible scenario. He could have easily recommended lots of tests, x-rays and scans, but reasoned why going a conservative route was in the best interest of my dog. I can't thank him enough for his sound diagnostics and reasoning. We are now happy clients. We have been back to the office for our annual boosters and it is clear my dog is happy with the care. Her tail never quits waggling around the doc and his staff. This clinic is filled with loving people that will take the time to get to know you and your pet. read more

Dr. Craddock is an amazing veterinarian. She is patient, thoughtful and fully invested in the health of your pet. I fully entrust her in the care of my animals. The hospital itself is clean and it is a very friendly environment. They even have a rewards program and the ability to track my pet's health via an app. Plus, my child loves the little play area that is provided. read more

Doctor K is amazing! I took my dog for second opinion when he was diagnosed with diabetes. I was very scared to give my dog his insulin shots and Doctor K patiently walked me through the process and taught me some pretty neat tricks. He was kind enough to allow me do several trips while doing his glucose curve. He also gave me advise on his diet and always calls back when I need advise. He is the best! read more

I have been taking my lab to Chatham Animal Hospital for almost four years and can't imagine taking him anywhere else. The front desk staff has always been nothing but friendly and helpful, both in-person and over the phone--something I have noted to the vets on numerous occasions. We have seen both Dr. Bailey and Dr. Craddock who have helped us through ear infections, routine check-ups, fleas, and an occasional "I can't believe my dog ate this" and have recently started to bring our cat to C.A.H. I live in downtown Raleigh and always find the drive to Cary beyond worth it. As others mention in their reviews, it is very evident that the vets have your animals' best interest at heart. I never feel pushed on any of my decisions on treatment options. Instead, I feel that the vets give me the information I need to make the decision best for my animals. read more

Couldn't agree more with KB. We've been bringing our dog here for three years and by now, I feel that they treat him like family. All of the techs and staff recognize and remember him. He's seen several of the vets and they've all been great. We also love Dr. Bailey. Everyone here really cares about the animals they treat, and it shows in their relaxed yet caring attitudes. I agree that the prices are reasonable, and I've never had the feeling they were pushing an unnecessary service or exam on me like I have at other vets. I also agree that the boarding rates are really good, and it's the only place we can leave Casey for several days without him having severe anxiety problems. Leigh the groomer is wonderful and Casey looks forward to seeing her every month. Her prices, too, are so reasonable and probably less than what anywhere else would charge at just $35 for a bath, brushing, and nail trim (40 lb dog). They have really convenient hours, too. read more

Dr. Bailey is a pet owner's dream. He became my families Vet after marching in an exam room, telling my cranky old German Shepherd that she did not intimidate him. Zuka intimidated everyone except Dr. Bailey! Zuka was most important thing in my life. When she died, it nearly crushed me. That was almost 5 years ago and Dr. Bailey still remembers her by name. He now care's for a rescue German Shepherd we have who also has a difficult personality. Once again, he told Sasha that he was not afraid of her and they have been friends since. She came to us after being left outside for years, depressed, full of anxiety and almost impossible to acclimate to into our family. It took almost a year, but with his expertise we are now at a point where she can live the rest of her life happy, safe and loved in our home. My other two dogs get top notch care, we are never rushed during our visits and no questions go unanswered. Dr. Bailey never pushes us to get unnecessary vaccinations or procedures and is always honest with us. His vet tech's and front end staff are reliable, efficient and never let us down. Josh always knows who I am when I call and what dogs belong to me. Eleni also knows all my dogs by first name and makes them feel special when they arrive for their visit. This clinic is top notch and a package deal. Thank you Chatham Animal Hospital ! read more

I really like Chatham Animal Hospital. Unlike a competitor nearby, Chatham has outstanding front-desk staff and great doctors. For doctors, our personal favorite is Dr. Matt Bailey. He has "the touch" with animals and is so great with them and doctoring them. As our dog has grown older and now has more health problems, I've had to call with emergencies right before they closed (as I was getting home from work and discovering my dog incapacitated). They never said "Oh, this is too close to our closing time, so go to an open-late emergency hospital." Instead, they always said to come right over and they would stay open for us. (I wouldn't have minded going someplace else, but the true dedication they have shown my pet over posted hours just awes me.) For cost, they are less expensive then many other animal hospitals/vets. We unfortunately need a lot of medical up-keep for our dog, so appreciate the less expensive costs. For a dental cleaning, it was at least $100 less than our previous vet located on Maynard Road. As a full time, daytime working adult, I also need flexible hours for dropping off my pet for medical appointments, grooming appointments, etc. They are great about this, so it works great with my schedule. We've also used their boarding services.--The cost is reasonable, the services rendered is fine, no complaints. read more

Excellent staff, excellent vets, excellent facilities. Dr Bailey in particular is the vet you always hope you will find. I could go on forever. They always go "above and beyond" and their compassion is outstanding. I trust them completely with the total care of my pets. And to address the 2 star review they received from someone else, sometimes it is hard to keep up with and understand the rationale regarding vaccines. Trust me, you do not want to take your pet anywhere for grooming if they are not adamant about having the pet's vaccines updated first. (I have good friends who don't understand this, but if I want to have my pet groomed, and he isn't up to date on shots, my pet exposes every other pet in that grooming area.) You have to protect your own pet at all costs. read more

i have been taking my pets to this hospital for a few years after my neighbor raved about this place. i have NEVER had a bad visit. Dr K and Dr Wrenn absolutly rock. the prices are reasonable and the entire staff are friendly and and treat all my pets as kings and queens ( even though they are not always the nicest to them back ). i recommend this hospital to everyone!!!! read more
