ABOUT US
Dry Pond Animal Hospital and Pet Resort
Welcome to Dry Pond Animal Hospital and Pet Resort — Denver, North Carolina’s locally owned destination for exceptional veterinary medicine and premier pet boarding. Dry Pond was founded in 2023 by Dr. Andrew Pierce, a veterinarian with deep roots in the Denver community and a background in emergency and critical care medicine. Our practice was built on a simple belief: that every dog and cat deserves elevated, personalized care, and every client deserves a true partner in their pet’s health. Our close-knit team brings wide-ranging expertise to every visit, from preventative wellness and advanced diagnostics to canine rehabilitation and end-of-life care. Whether your pet is here for a routine exam or spending the week in our full-service Pet Resort, you’ll always find the same commitment to warmth, transparency, and gold-standard medicine.
