For the pet owners who want to do it right—not just get it done. Whether your pet gets nervous or you do, we’re building something different: veterinary care where you both feel safe. Where your questions are welcome. Where you don’t get rushed out the door. This is care that considers the whole picture—emotional and medical. Coming Soon to Kernersville, NC Contact Fear Free

A practice built on purpose.
This isn’t corporate care.
And it’s not just a rebrand.

Gentle Touch is a complete rethinking of what a veterinary hospital can be. Appointments here are longer by design—so we can take our time, ask the right questions, and work with you to make thoughtful decisions. Our goal isn’t just to get through the visit. It’s to understand your pet, fully and clearly.

We believe the best veterinary care is built on trust, consistency, and real relationships. That means you’ll see the same faces. You’ll get a clear follow up. No more wondering what comes next. And you’ll always feel like a partner in your pet’s care.

You’ve been looking for something better

If you’ve ever walked out of a vet visit feeling uneasy, unseen, or unsure, you’re not alone. These are the kinds of moments that made us rethink what veterinary care should feel like:

You’ve been told your pet is “difficult” when really, they were just scared—and no one slowed down to notice.

You’ve handed your pet off at the lobby door and spent the next twenty minutes wondering what was happening in the back.

You’ve been talked over when you tried to explain what you were seeing—or brushed off when you asked for something different.

If that sounds familiar, we built Gentle Touch for you.

What to Expect—Step by Step

01

Straight to the Exam Room

No crowded waiting area. You and your pet go right to a quiet, comfortable space—and stay there together for the whole visit.

02

Time to Settle In

We don’t start with thermometers and stethoscopes. We start with conversation. While we talk, your pet gets time to adjust to the room, the sounds, and us.

03

Gentle, Consent-Based Handling

Nothing rushed. Nothing forced. Exams are done in-room with treats, soft voices, and touch that’s slow and respectful—always at your pet’s pace.

04

Longer Appointments by Design

We’ve built more time into every visit so we can focus fully on your questions, your pet’s body language, and the details that deserve attention.

05

Clarity, Calm, and Follow-Through

You’ll leave with a personalized plan, not a printout you didn’t help shape. And if questions come up later, we’re still here.
