DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Independent Weekly announced that New Hope Animal Hospital in Durham has been voted "Best of the Triangle 2012" for animal hospitals. To select this year's "Best Of" list, Independent Weekly and Indy.com readers nominated local businesses and voted on their favorites. The team at New Hope Animal Hospital says they are honored to be selected as the best veterinary clinic serving the Durham and Chapel Hill communities. The veterinary clinic provides wellness care, including pet vaccinations, animal dentistry, animal surgery and dog boarding.
Chapel Hill and Durham veterinarians Dr. Soren Windram and Dr. Jackie Soule say they are honored to have their veterinary clinic in Durham voted "Best of the Triangle" for 2012. Readers of the Independent Weekly and Indy.com selected New Hope Animal Hospital as the best local veterinary clinic for the hospital's commitment to cutting-edge care and compassionate service. The clinic routinely receives rave reviews on its Yelp.com page as well.
"On behalf of our entire team, we are proud to receive this award," said Dr. Windram. "Every day we strive to provide quality veterinary care and friendly and responsive customer service. As pet owners, we know just how important these animals are to each family. We are honored that families trust us to care for their pets."
Founded in 2003, the veterinary clinic services the Durham and Chapel Hill areas offering pet care services for cats and dogs by covering general wellness needs, in addition to specific service areas such as animal dentistry and animal surgery. Dr. Windram, Dr. Soule and the entire veterinary team also stress the importance of proactive wellness care and preventative medicine.
"Routine wellness exams are an important opportunity to assess a pet's health and well-being," said Dr. Windram. "Often, pets may not exhibit the warning signs of chronic illness until they are already seriously ill. Early detection expands our treatment options and ensures that we can provide the best care possible."
Dr. Windram and Dr. Soule address routine care to always include oral health examinations. Poor oral health can increase the risk for bacterial infections, which may damage internal organs.
"Animal dentistry is often an area that pet owners can easily overlook, but it is important to maintaining pet wellness. We provide dental cleanings and oral examinations at our animal hospital, but we also guide pet owners as to how to also care for their pets' teeth at home between veterinary visits," said Dr. Soule.
The animal clinic also provides emergency care six days per week during regular business hours.
