Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital

We love Animal Kingdom! We found them when we added 2 rabbits to our family, as they are one of few vets in the area that are knowledgeable about the species. We were so impressed we decided to bring all our fur babies to them. Dr. Highsmith and her staff are kind, compassionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. It’s nice to have a vet and staff that remember us and our pets. They are reasonably priced as well! When we had our rabbits spayed & neutered, their price was about half of what we were quoted at another veterinary office and Animal Kingdom accepted spca vouchers to use towards the service. To me, this shows that they care more about the community and families they serve rather than gouging them unnecessarily. Today we had our sweet, 14 year old, mixed breed dog put down. He was old, tired and had become very uncomfortable. The staff was again kind and compassionate, explaining everything in advance and again along the way during the emotional event. We will continue to travel from Fuquay to see Dr. Highsmith and her staff as long as we have fur babies.

I’ve been taking my bunnies here for the past several years. The employees are all extremely knowledgeable about rabbits and very friendly. Even my squirmy angry bunny is calm and chill when he comes here(wish he’d be like that at home lol!) Great vet for rabbit owners, I highly recommend them.

Took my cat in to get examined and they charged $400 to send labs to a third party even though they advertise in house labs. They said they had no idea what was wrong with her and just gave her a general antibiotic. It did not help, and when we told them they said that we should just start force feeding her and she should be fine since she wasn’t vomiting anymore. She died a couple weeks later. The veterinarian was professional and nice, but the office staff was the opposite. Uncaring, unkind, rude, and disrespectful. Will never ever take any other animals here. They also do not send out prescriptions to third parties because “they can’t verify everyone ” even though we just wanted to use CHEWY since it was a FRACTION of their cost. Cannot recommend to anyone that needs actual care and treatment for their animals. Might recommend if you want to throw away some money or just need some regular shots.

We found Animal Kingdom when we brought a bunny into our family. Thank goodness there's such a wonderful vet in the area for rabbits! Our bunny girl was spayed recently and it was hard convincing her to take it easy after the surgery. She recovered so quickly it was like it never happened! It's a relief to have these professionals as our bunny support.

Dr. Highsmith and her team have consistently offered high quality care for our pets. We love the intimate, cozy feeling of their smaller practice and the sense that we really know the team working on our animals. They've always been super understanding of our circumstances, as we've needed to reschedule our appointments several times for personal reasons, and have always gotten back to us quickly whenever we've called with any questions or concerns! Phenomenal team, we greatly appreciate all of the work that you've done for us and our fuzzy family members!
