A COUNTRY VETERINARY CLINIC

What A COUNTRY VETERINARY CLINIC does

A Country Veterinary Clinic is a single-location small-animal veterinary practice founded in 2009 and located at 6841 Market Street, Suite E, Wilmington, NC. The clinic operates Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:30pm and serves cat and dog owners across Wilmington and surrounding communities including Castle Hayne, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Rocky Point, Hampstead, and Burgaw. Service offerings span wellness examinations, urgent and same-day care, surgical procedures, preventive dental care, digital radiology, microchipping, USDA-issued pet health certificates, and an on-site and online pharmacy. The clinic is affiliated with VetCor, a Norwell, MA-based veterinary practice management company that provides corporate and operational infrastructure.

The clinic operates a primarily direct-to-consumer model, with pet owners discovering the practice through local SEO, community reputation, content marketing on the News section, and the clinic's Facebook page. Client engagement channels include phone scheduling, 24/7 online appointment booking via the clinic website, and the PetDesk mobile app (iOS/Android), which supports booking, refill requests, and vaccination record access. An online pharmacy at acountryveterinaryclinic.ourvet.com supports recurring prescription and pet product sales, and CareCredit is offered as a financing option.

Revenue is generated from professional service fees (exams, surgery, dental, urgent care) and from pharmacy and pet product sales (on-site and online). Pricing is quote-based by service and not publicly disclosed. Differentiators include a Top 3 ranking among Wilmington veterinarians by Three Best Rated, a 4.4-star Google Reviews rating, Low Stress Handling accreditation, and a conveniently positioned location near the UNC Wilmington campus. The clinic does not use proprietary AI/ML technology; its software stack is composed of third-party practice management and consumer engagement tooling.
