Dry Pond Animal Hospital and Pet Resort

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

Dry Pond Animal Hospital and Pet Resort was founded in 2023 by Dr. Andrew Pierce, a veterinarian whose roots in the Denver, NC community run deeper than most. Dr. Pierce began his career right here in Denver as kennel staff at a local general practice before working his way through vet school and going on to found Denver Animal Emergency, now BluePearl Lake Norman, directly across the street. When the opportunity came to bring that same commitment to exceptional, compassionate medicine into a full-service general practice, he built Dry Pond from the ground up. This is a practice born from genuine love for this community and the people and pets who call it home
