In the past I’ve had to travel up to 15-20mins with a hollowing cat in my front seat. For me to make it here is now a 5 minute drive which is amazing. Dr Chiu and the entire staff are passionate, kind and welcoming. I rescued a baby kitten 2weeks ago and was recommended to follow up with my local vet. Since the last place I took my other cat was a bit of a drive & their hours weren’t convenient for my work schedule I found this office and decided to take a chance on them. I am so happy I did 🙌. Dr Chiu answered all my questions about my new baby was incredibly knowledgeable and gentle with her and made the experience calm and smooth for us both. I definitely will continue to make this office my primary vet for both my babies from now on. Thank you all for your commitment to animals and for your kindness. Binx & I are grateful for you all ☺️

Dear Hometown Veterinary Partners Myrtle Beach,We wanted to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you at Hometown Veterinary Partners. Your compassion and care during one of the most difficult times in our lives meant more to us than we can adequately express in words.Losing our beloved cat Rocket was an incredibly heartbreaking experience for our family. Your veterinary team showed such kindness and support to us throughout the entire process. From the moment we entered your doors, we felt a sense of reassurance and warmth that helped alleviate some of the immense pain we were feeling. Your professionalism and dedication were evident in every interaction we had with you.We would like to personally thank Dr. Chiu for her expertise, guidance, and patience with us as we navigated this difficult decision. We also want to extend our appreciation to the entire staff for their kindness and empathy. Every member of your team contributed to making a heartbreaking situation a little more bearable for us, and for that, we are forever grateful.Rocket was not just a pet to us; he was a cherished member of our family. Your compassionate care ensured that his last moments were as peaceful and dignified as possible, and we take solace in knowing that he was in such good hands. We are especially thankful that you were able to accommodate us and Rocket on that Monday, despite us not being established patients and being from out of state on vacation.Please accept this sincere thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your dedication to providing exceptional veterinary care and unwavering support to pet owners like us is truly commendable. We feel blessed to have had you by our side during such a difficult time.With deepest appreciation and warm regards,The Kiracofe Family

I had originally chosen another veterinary office and even had the paperwork ready for when the time came to lay the love my life to rest. When the time actually came this was the only place I wanted him to go. The entire staff was very kind and caring not only with us but with him. Dr. Q was more than amazing. She was went above and beyond explaining everything and being there with us. No one judged us for our emotions and we left maybe not with our dignity but knowing he moved on with his. We can not thank you enough for being there for us when we had trouble being there for ourselves and caring for Mr. Clifford respectfully.

Our experience here was excellent both times so far. Dr. Chiu is very friendly and caring along with all of the staff members. They will listen to your concerns and don't rush you and make you feel welcome. They did very well with my overly anxious dog and approached him slowly and with care. The office is also clean and well maintained. I'd Highly recommend.

I unfortunately did not get to see much of this clinic, but my sweet Willa was taken here in an emergency as they were the closest vet to me and she was not well. She ended up passing away, but they stayed after with me to allow me to say my goodbyes and helped me in the hardest time.They don’t have an email for me to send a thank you, so hopefully this can be passed on. I appreciate everyone involved and those that were there when she passed. Thank you for trying to save my girl ❤️Here’s a picture of her as her healthy happy self

Illness Exam

Our veterinary service offers thorough examinations, diagnostics, and tailored care plans for pets experiencing illnesses ranging from digestive to respiratory issues. With scheduled follow-up exams and treatments as needed, our goal is to ensure your pet's swift recovery and improved quality of life. Schedule an illness exam today to get your pet back to their happy, healthy self.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a non-invasive, pain-free, and effective treatment that can significantly improve your pet's quality of life. Here are the key benefits:

  1. Reduce Pain and Inflammation: The laser alleviates pain and reduces inflammation by stimulating cell regeneration and increasing blood circulation.
  2. Accelerate Healing: Promotes faster healing of wounds, post-surgical sites, and injuries.
  3. Improve Mobility: Ideal for pets with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or other joint issues, helping improve their mobility and overall comfort.
  4. Enhance Quality of Life: By reducing chronic pain and promoting healing, laser therapy helps your pet enjoy a more active and pain-free life.
Peaceful Passing & Grief Support

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult decisions you may ever have to make, and we’re here to support you and your pet through this emotional journey. Our peaceful passings and grief support services are designed to provide comfort, compassion, and dignity to both pets and their families during this challenging time.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic testing plays a crucial role in identifying and treating health issues in pets. At our hospital, we offer a range of diagnostic tests to accurately assess your pet’s health and guide treatment decisions.

In-House Pharmacy

We have an in-house pharmacy to provide quick and timely access to your pet’s prescriptions.  

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are a crucial part of your pet’s care plan, providing protection against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases.  You can expect our veterinarians to discuss the core vaccines recommended for all pets, along with a customized vaccination plan that is tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.  

    Spay & Neuter

    These procedures offer numerous benefits for both pets and their owners, contributing to a healthier, happier pet population and reducing the number of homeless animals.

    Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures performed under anesthesia by our experienced veterinary team. Our team will discuss the associated benefits for your pet and walk you through each step of your pet’s care. 

      Urgent Care

      Our veterinary hospital provides life-saving procedures during our open hours, serving pets experiencing urgent symptoms such as coughing, ear infections, growths, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, poisoning, scooting, cuts or lacerations, eye infections, limping, persistent scratching, rashes, and urinary issues. While we're not an emergency hospital, we're equipped to handle critical situations and offer immediate care for your pet's well-being.

      Kitten & Puppy Care

      Our veterinarians will provide you with a comprehensive vaccination schedule, parasite evaluation and prevention plan, along with heartworm, flea, and tick prevention.  They will also discuss spaying or neutering, along with other important topics to support your pet’s health. 

      Cancer Care

      Our veterinarians are experienced in diagnosing and evaluating treatment options for your pet should a cancer diagnosis occur.  These options may include care in our hospital or in some cases, consultation or referral to a cancer specialist.  

      Surgery

      Whether your pet requires a routine procedure or complex surgery, you can trust our experienced veterinary team to provide compassionate care and expert surgical expertise.

      X-Rays

      X-rays are invaluable tools in veterinary medicine, providing detailed images of your pet’s internal structures to aid in diagnosis and treatment. We offer both full-body and dental X-rays to ensure comprehensive care for your furry family member.

      Dental Cleaning & Health

      Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health problems in pets, affecting up to 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by the age of three?

      Our dental cleaning services are designed to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy, ensuring a lifetime of good oral hygiene. Regular dental cleanings are essential for preventing dental disease and maintaining your pet’s overall health and well-being. By addressing dental issues early, we can help prevent pain, infection, and other serious health problems down the road.

      FAQ

      What animals do you see at Hometown Veterinary Partners?

      Currently, we specialize in serving our feline and canine friends. Typically, we refer birds, exotics, and pocket pets (hamster, guinea pig, rabbit, chinchillas, gerbils), and other small pet patients to the nearest hospital that specializes in their unique care. If you have any questions or concerns about the care of your pet, please don't hesitate to call us for guidance and referrals.

      What types of payment do you take?

      We accept major credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) at the time of service. Many of our hospitals also offer payment plans through CareCredit or Scratch Pay for added flexibility. Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding payment options.

      How is Hometown Veterinary Partners different from traditional veterinary practices?

      At Hometown Veterinary Partners, we're focused on pets and people. We understand the importance of building strong relationships with both our clients and our team members. That's why we strive to create a supportive and inclusive work environment where veterinarians can thrive and provide the highest quality care for your pets. Founded by individuals who left corporate veterinary practices behind, our organization is driven by a commitment to fostering a culture of empowerment and support.

      Do you offer cat-only rooms?

      We understand that cats have unique needs and can often feel stressed or anxious around dogs. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment for our feline friends, our larger locations offer cat-only exam and treatment rooms. These rooms are designed to provide a peaceful and safe space for your cat, free from the presence and smell of dogs.

      For our locations that do not have cat-only rooms, we use a low-stress handling approach including pheromone diffusers, and minimizing wait times and interactions with dogs. If you are concerned about your cat's anxiety, contact our hospital and review our tips to help reduce your cat's anxiety during transport and visits to the vet.  Tips on transporting your cat to the vet

      Are you a corporation?

      At Hometown Veterinary Partners we are not a corporation. Our entity is set up as a partnership, founded by individuals who have transitioned from corporate veterinary practices. We are driven by a commitment to fostering a culture of empowerment and support, aiming to provide the best possible care for your beloved pets.
