Here, we treat pets like family. We understand how important your companion is to you — because they’re there for you through the thick and thin of life, with a wagging tail or a happy purr, and unconditional love. Our goal is to be your partner in taking care of your pet’s physical and mental wellbeing, so you can enjoy many happy years together. So, whether your pet needs a checkup with a doctor… a caring team and top-notch medical treatments when they’re ill… or, some advice on the best food for them or how to care for them at home — we’re here for you! Here, we see dogs and cats. And, we’ll strive to make their visit a comfortable and positive experience. Come in and get to know us, and see why both you and your pet will love coming here!

Dr. Perry Parks is a native of Asheboro, NC who at the age of six knew he wanted to become a veterinarian. Throughout childhood he was exposed to farm animals along with the family dogs and cats upon which his desire only strengthened. His undergraduate pre-veterinary studies were at NC State University. His career pursuit was completed upon graduation from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in June 1979.

Dr. Parks began his career at a local well established mixed animal practice in Asheboro. Not only did this allow development in the ever growing and advancing small animal field of veterinary medicine but for him, the large animal field also. After 8.5 years he entered a mobile large animal practice until May of 2017 when he returned to small animal practice by joining Asheboro Animal Hospital. He continues to maintain his large animal practice on a limited and smaller scale. Dr. Parks has found his areas of interest to have remained unchanged across the two fields. Those areas are reproduction, nutrition, diagnostic imaging, and critical care.
A portion of his personal free time is devoted to advancing his knowledge of veterinary medicine each day but not to lessen his time shared and enjoyed with his wife. A few on the top of the list being sailing, coastal adventures, cooking and not to forget, Georgia Dawg Football!Dr. Kristen Livengood
Dr. Kristen Livengood completed her Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2015 and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University in 2019. After graduating from veterinary school, she treated both large and small animals at a mixed animal veterinary clinic in Shelby, NC, for 4 years. Dr. Livengood's veterinary interests include soft tissue surgery, dermatology, geriatric medicine, and diagnostic imaging.

Happy Pet Parents
We have been going here for many years with our babies. The staff is friendly and Dr. Yow is the reason we come here! She is amazing!
Dr. Yow was truly God sent. Our cat had not eaten in 5 days and was making an unusual hacking noise. She examined him, but he had no signs of sickness (no fever or discharge). She was very thorough and wanted to know his complete history. After Dr. Yow gave me the treatment plan, she said let's do these tests first to rule out certain diseases. They came back negative, so I agreed to her treatment plan. Because I didn't want to spend money on a blood panel and his lungs were causing the problem (x-rays were neg.), Dr. Yow suggested he may have lung worms which is uncommon. All the fluids, Vit. B shot, antibiotics, and worm med helped him recover. We are so thankful she thought outside the box just in case, because his lungs have cleared up in less than four days and he is eating well. Thank you so much Dr. Yow, Brave Heart is less than 2 years old and the best cat ever!
Dr. Parks is awesome. The up front staff is friendly and helpful.
Great, friendly staff. Dr Parks was very thorough and so sweet with my nervous Luna.
