Testimonials

We have had outstanding experiences here. Dr. Castro is extremely intelligent, genuinely interested in animal welfare, and tries to keep costs reasonable. Highly recommend.

Great place. Courteous people. Handled animals very well.

We are so very lucky to have Dr. Castro in our area! As a veterinarian, I can attest to the level of knowledge, experience and attention to detail that Dr. Castro provides. He has now helped my dressage horse on 3 different occasions for 3 different issues with complete success. His prices are incredibly reasonable and he takes more time and effort in the diagnostic process than any equine vet I have ever worked with. Feel confident entrusting your horses' care with Davie County Large Animal!

Dr. Castro & his team are the best! Treated my horse & I like we were the only patients at the hospital when we arrived for surgery. Took the time to sit down and talk with me about procedure & expectations. Was very patient and kind with my anxious horse. Professional, kind and you could tell everyone who worked there loved what they did. Can not recommend them enough. The drive to Southern Pines was easy too!

Dr Castro is a very knowledgeable and professional veterinarian. As a veterinarian myself, I can attest to his knowledge and also his concern and compassion when I was met after hours for a colicky mini mule. He is calm and explains everything in great detail. We also did some ophthalmic work on my other horse and she is going great! Highly recommend! Davie county is indeed fortunate to have him available to help horses in this area!

Meet with Dr Peacock today with our OTTB- battling cellulitis for several weeks. Dr. Peacock was kind, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. Dr. Castro called this evening to update us on how treatment was going. Great communication, friendly staff, truly there for the horse and owners.

Davie large animal is the absolute best. Both Dr Peacock and Dr Castro are truly invested in both the best for your horse and your wallet. They are straightforward and a wealth of information. They are prompt in their service and they follow up showing they truly care. While I have moved away from the area I still haul in just to get the care I feel I can trust.

Davie County Large Animal has given me everything I could ever ask for in a vet. Dr. Peacock has been the vet for my horse, before I even bought him, and has been amazing through the purchasing process, radiographs, lameness evals, ownership and the list goes on. Being similar in age, she is always easy to talk to, contact and understand. My horse recently presented with a very challenging injury and Dr. Castro ended up working on the case. Dr. Castro absolutely went above and beyond, working after hours, ensuring my horse was happy and well taken care of during hospitalizations and more. It was a very challenging time for my horse, myself and Dr. Castro but I felt at ease knowing he was doing entirely everything in his power to help my horse. He worked to get second opinions and gave me different treatment options. My horse is back home, healthy and comfortable and whatever the outcome ends to be - I know my vets did everything they could and I am very thankful for them here at Davie County Large Animal Hospital.
