New Vets Pets hospital to open in Pittsboro, NC

Vets Pets, a North Carolina cooperative network of veterinary hospitals, has expanded with the Haw River Animal Hospital set to open in fall 2023. According to a company release,¹ the hospital will be located at 40 Ramseur Rd, Pittsboro, North Carolina.

This new hospital will offer full-service veterinary care for dogs and cats in Pittsboro and the adjacent communities. It will be run under the leadership of Katie Sizer, DVM, who will co-own the practice in partnership with Vets Pets. She has been with the company for the last year.¹ "I could not be more excited to be opening a veterinary hospital in this community I love so much," stated Sizer, in the release. " With the partnership of Vets Pets, I am realizing a childhood dream opening a hospital where I can provide high quality, kind care to pets and pet parents."

As an army child, Sizer grew up living various places around the world until she found a long-term home in North Carolina since 1995.¹ She attended Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC, before attending veterinary school at North Carolina State, graduating in 2013. Pittsboro is where she resides with her husband, 2 children, and 3 dogs.

Both a Fear Free Certified Professional and a Certified Cat Friendly Veterinarian, Sizer specializes in pain management, dentistry, internal medicine, and low-stress animal handling. In her leisure, she enjoys hiking, canoeing, gardening, movie-watching, traveling, and spending quality time family.¹

"We are excited to add Dr Sizer to our group of exceptional veterinary partners. I feel so fortunate to add another Veterinarian of Dr Sizer's talent and character to our partner team,” expressed Steve Thomas, CEO of Vets Pets.¹ "Her passion for veterinary medicine, enthusiasm for leadership and "can-do" attitude is inspiring. I've really enjoyed working with her so far and look forward to more."
