Vets Pets has announced plans to open a new Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital in Raleigh’s North Hills, expanding its footprint in one of North Carolina’s fastest-growing areas.
Expanding Access in High-Growth Market
The new location will be the fifth in the Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital network and is intended to meet increasing demand for veterinary services in the Raleigh area.
North Hills has seen rapid population growth, and the company says additional capacity is needed to keep pace with pet ownership and care needs.
Full-Service Companion Animal Care
The hospital will offer a comprehensive range of services, including wellness care, diagnostics, dentistry, boarding, daycare, grooming, and training.
Other Oak Heart locations also provide urgent and emergency care, supporting a broader continuum of services across the network.
Leadership and Continuity
The new hospital will be led by Dr. Jake Clements, who has been practicing within the Oak Heart system since 2023. His experience in building client relationships and delivering patient-focused care positioned him to lead the expansion.
Continued Growth Strategy
The opening reflects Vets Pets’ broader strategy of expanding access to veterinary care while supporting veterinarians through a cooperative ownership and operational model.
The company provides infrastructure, resources, and support to help veterinary teams focus on clinical care while scaling operations.
Opening Timeline
Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital at North Hills is expected to open in early summer 2026, with a grand opening event planned for late June.
