About Us
Here, Relationships Matter
The familiar faces you know and trust, treating your pets like our own.
For more than 30 years, Willow Grove Animal Clinic has been more than a place for veterinary care. We’ve become part of the lives of generations of pets and the families who love them throughout Farmville and the surrounding communities.
When Dr. Susan Morphis purchased Willow Grove Animal Clinic in 1995 after practicing here for five years, she had a vision of creating something more than a veterinary hospital. She wanted a place where relationships came first. A place where pets would be cared for from their first puppy or kitten visit through their senior years, and where families would always feel welcomed, supported, and respected.
Today, that philosophy continues to guide everything we do.
Whether you’re visiting us for a wellness exam, advanced diagnostics, surgery, or one of life’s more difficult moments, our goal is the same: to provide exceptional veterinary care while building lasting relationships with every pet and every family we serve.

Independently Owned. Community Focused.
Instead of being guided by corporate policies or production goals, we're guided by conversations, relationships, and what's best for each individual patient. We take the time to listen, answer your questions, explain your options, and work together to create a care plan that fits both your pet's needs and your family's goals.
Because every family is different, we believe veterinary care should be personalized, not one-size-fits-all.


A Different Kind of Veterinary Experience
We know veterinary visits aren’t always easy. That’s why we’ve intentionally created an experience that helps pets and their families feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
At Willow Grove Animal Clinic, you’ll find:
- Familiar faces who know you and your pet by name
- Gentle, compassionate handling designed to reduce stress
- Honest recommendations without pressure or judgment
- Personalized care tailored to your pet’s unique needs
- A calm, welcoming environment where questions are always encouraged
We believe caring for your pet means caring for their emotional well-being, too.
Proud to Call Farmville Home
We are proud to be a part of this community! Being locally owned means we’re invested in more than your pet’s health. We’re invested in the community we call home. Whether we’re caring for generations of pets, supporting local rescues, mentoring future veterinary professionals, or giving back through community partnerships and sponsorships, we’re honored to be part of the lives of so many families throughout eastern North Carolina.
We’re proud to serve Farmville, Greenville, Pitt County, Greene County, Edgecombe County, Wilson County, and the surrounding communities.
Our Mission
To provide veterinary care in an atmosphere that is compassionate and free of fear.
We believe the best care happens when veterinarians and pet caregivers work together. By educating ourselves and the families we serve, we can create personalized treatment plans that support every pet’s health while respecting each family’s individual needs and goals.
