River Road Animal Hospital is excited to offer a new weekend triage phone line for our clients. If you have concerns about your pet over the weekend, you can speak with one of our veterinary professionals for guidance.

Please note: This is still a phone-only service for current patients.

The hospital remains closed for in-person visits on weekends.

Our triage line is here to help you determine if your pet needs urgent care at the emergency hospital in Wilmington, can wait until regular hours, or if home care is appropriate.

Weekend Triage Line: 910-454-8910

Available Saturdays & Sundays | 9am-5pm

We're here to support you and your pets—even on the weekends!

We will monitor our text messages and voicemail hourly during triage hours.

Those of you who know us know the anxiety storms can cause us. We have been working to relocate our building since PTC8 last year, but it is a frustratingly slow process. On top of that, another large swath of adjacent land to the south of us has been clear cut for development. So our neighbors to the north did it first, and now we are surrounded by land whose water just runs onto our property. Those few weeks ago when we had that crazy 2 hours of rain showed us the impact, and it was terrifying.

Until we can get a new building - still months away - we are moving everything we can daily. It’s a tiresome practice. We live in fear that we will experience loss before we can move, before we can even receive insurance money from the last storm (right, still waiting from 10 months ago).

We will be ok, we know, because of the people here.
We love what we do and the community we do it in. Keep us in your positive thoughts this weekend. ❤️❤️❤️

The Tropical Depression has now strengthened to Tropical Storm Chantal. She has max winds of 40 mph with higher gusts. Chantal is moving North at 2 mph. We will keep you updated as we get new information. Also stay tuned to your local westheevtv stations or weather radios.

The “Salute to Veterans” event, featuring keynote speaker Col. James “Jim” Czarnik, M.D., was a deeply moving ceremony that honored our veterans and their profound courageous vulnerability.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our dedicated volunteers who brought this event to life and to everyone who participated in such a powerful tribute. Most importantly, we extend our gratitude to those who have served, and are currently serving, our country. Our freedom has never been free, and we celebrate it together as a community.

River Road Animal Hospital is proud to be part of the Southport community and to stand alongside those who support what freedom truly means.
