Overview

Chatham Animal Hospital has been loving our community since 1983. We provide forward-thinking medicine for cats and dogs, tempered with compassion and respect. We offer full-service veterinary care, in a state-of-the-art facility with all of the comforts of home. Our experienced team of Veterinary Professionals provides a full suite of veterinary services across all disciplines for cats and dogs in Cary, including wellness and preventative care, general surgery, spay and neuter, puppy and kitten care, dentistry, nutrition, diagnostic services, and senior and palliative care

In 1983 Chatham Animal opened with one Veterinarian and one assistant in a small facility in downtown Cary. We grew out of that building and moved to our current home at 105 Oceana Place near the Old Apex Road/West Chatham Street only a few miles from our original home. Dr. Krakowski designed our hospital to be bright, comfortable, and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. Today we are keeping the Chatham Animal tradition of model performance in medicine and surgical care. Our team of Veterinarians- Dr. Matt Bailey (since 2010) and Dr. Morgan Craddock (since 2013). These experienced and talented veterinarians are respected by their peers and proud to be supported by a great team of Veterinary professionals. Dr. Stutts (since 2024) is our Relief Associate when Doctors Bailey and/or Craddock are out of the office she will be here to take care of your pets

Mission — At Chatham Animal Hospital, we believe that every pet deserves the best medical care available. We will deliver this care with compassion and respect. We look forward to working together so that you and your pet enjoy many happy, healthy years together
