About Vet

Hello!
I’m Dr. Lauren Tendy. It’s nice to meet you!
I am an animal medical detective at heart. I’m originally from NY however I have found my forever home in North Carolina at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains. My husband and I are parents to 3 dogs, 2 cats, 6 chickens, 4 ducks. 2 horses, 3 puppy dog goats and now a pot Belly pig named Noodles ❤️
I thoroughly believe that pet parent communication is key to medicine as animals cannot speak verbally for themselves. Be ready for me to ask many questions so you and I and your babies can together decide on the best care they need.
I look forward to talking things out with you.

She listens and took her time figuring things out for my chicken. She provided some education for me—which I appreciated.

Dr Tendy examined Barlee during the session and provided valuable guidance on controlling the flea problem now and the future. Excellent service! She recommended two prescriptions, one for my dog and one for 4 cats. Also recommended various locations for rabies shots. Thanks Doc!

I found Dr. Tendy through Vetster, and even though our visit was online, it felt incredibly personal. She treated my puppy Moe with such genuine care—it wasn’t just about checking boxes, it was about making sure he was truly okay. She offers everything a traditional vet does, but with more warmth and attention. It’s clear she’s in this for the animals, not the money, and that kind of compassion is so rare. I felt heard, supported, and reassured. Moe and I have found our forever vet. Moe says Thank you.

The experience with Dr. Tendy was great. She was very professional, listened to our challenges, and understood our perspective and experience. It was also so much easier than waiting for weeks to get into our vet.
