Animal Hospital of Pitt County

What Animal Hospital of Pitt County does

Animal Hospital of Pitt County is a privately held, AAHA-accredited full-service veterinary hospital located at 107 Trade Street in Greenville, North Carolina. The hospital was originally established over 30 years ago by Dr. Michael House; following his passing in 2010, ownership was transferred on October 26, 2012 to veterinarians Anne Eldridge DVM, Mark Hayes DVM, and Brad Medhus DVM, who also co-own three sister facilities — Tenth Street Animal Hospital, Firetower Animal Clinic, and Four Paws Inn pet resort — under a common group ownership structure. The hospital operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday mornings, serving pet owners in Greenville and surrounding Pitt County communities.

The clinical team comprises four veterinarians (Drs. Eldridge, Ann Miner, Liz Roe, and Sabrina Swistek) with differentiated specialty interests spanning dentistry, soft tissue surgery, ophthalmology, internal medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, pain management, geriatric care, and pocket pet/exotic animal medicine, supported by a hospital manager and additional clinical and administrative staff totaling roughly ten employees. The service portfolio is organized into five categories: wellness and prevention, testing and diagnostics, advanced care, surgical procedures, and urgent care, with diagnostic capabilities including digital X-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging — a notable capital investment for a practice of this size. Ancillary services include veterinary-supervised pet boarding and daycare, an on-site pharmacy, an online shop for medications and food, and a 24/7 PetPage portal and mobile app for client self-service.

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer fee-for-service transactions, with payment required at the time of service. Commercial channels include walk-in hours, scheduled appointments, online booking, phone scheduling, and a $50 client referral program ("Re-fur a Friend"). The practice extends its addressable market through partnerships with CareCredit for patient financing and Trupanion for pet insurance processing, while after-hours emergency cases are referred to Points East Veterinary Specialty Hospital and Pet Emergency Clinic of Pitt County under North Carolina Veterinary Practice Act guidelines. Marketing is conducted primarily through the practice website, the patient portal/app, the referral program, and community engagement via pet adoption partnerships.
