💚 Help Us Help You – Use Our Emergency Line for Emergencies Only
At Davie County Large Animal Hospital, we kindly remind our clients to only use our emergency line (336-998-7130) after hours, on weekends, and during holidays for medical emergencies.

📞 Using this line to schedule appointments or make payments during those times takes away valuable time from our veterinarians who are assisting patients in critical situations.

⏰ For all non-urgent matters, we’re happy to help during regular business hours.

Thank you for helping us provide the best care possible, exactly when it’s needed most. 💙

Davie County Large Animal Hospital: Then & Now

Today Our state-of-the-art facility is devoted to the care of horses, providing general healthcare and emergency services with an emphasis on equine sports medicine, surgery, rehabilitation, complementary medicine and podiatry. We are lucky in our ability to care for patients both at the farm and the hospital when additional care is warranted, allowing us to offer your horse the very best.

2018 Dr. Jose Castro, a native of Ecuador and boarded Equine Surgeon and Acupuncturist purchased DCLAH in 2018. Under Dr. Castro’s leadership, the DCLAH team is proud to provide all services previously offered, in addition to expanding the medical and surgical diagnostics and therapies available at DCLAH.

2002 Due to surrounding real estate development and the addition of second and third veterinarians, the original facility was sold. The current 7000 sq. ft. facility was built and completed in January of 2002.

1993 The first Davie County Large Animal Hospital, a 5000 sq. ft. facility dedicated to the care and treatment of large animal patients was built near I-40 just off of Farmington Road directly behind what was then an Ace Hardware Store.
