Our practice

We've built our reputation on compassion

We've built our reputation on providing the most compassionate, trustworthy and reasonably priced veterinary care available in Columbia, South Carolina.

Whether it's a routine annual visit, dental, surgery or just a nail trimming, no detail is overlooked. It's not a business, it's a lifestyle — we're crazy about animals: big ones, small ones, even ones that bite.

Dr. Wendy King and our expert staff are ready for anything. Bad breath? Case of the mange? Chronic allergies? Bring it on. Even ill-tempered, bite-happy, and downright ornery pets are welcome! When we're finished, they'll be as happy as you are.

We're conveniently located just off I-20 at the Spears Creek Church exit (exit 82). We look forward to seeing you and your pet soon!

Veterinarians who love what they do

Both graduates of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine — united by a passion for animals of every kind.

Dr. Wendy King

DVM · UGA Class of 1996

Dr. King is dedicated to providing you with the best care possible. She is passionate and heartfelt about all animals, from the tiniest creatures to the biggest of the farm animals to the animals still searching for their 'furever' homes. She promises to treat your pet like they are her own.

In addition to her work at SCVC, Dr. King also works at her home as the resident vet, tending to goats, cattle, and chickens. She spends her spare time tending to her vegetable garden, exercising, cooking, canning, and reading.
