Dr. Daley has always wanted to be a veterinarian, and this is not an exaggeration. WRAL, a local news station, featured Dr. Daley and her perseverance that took her 20 years to receive her Doctorate degree in Veterinary Medicine from North Carolina State University (NCSU) in 2023.
Dr. Daley believes that home visits benefit pets by reducing the anxiety associated with pet carriers, car rides, and the unfamiliar smells and sounds of a new place. Other animals may have mobility issues, and home visits are the best solution for them to receive routine or emergency care.
As a lover of all animals from an early age, she began asking for a pet dog before she could walk. Dr. Daley’s dream came true at four years old when her father got her first dog, Blackie. When young Dr. Daley took Blackie to the vet with her mother for his routine vaccinations, she knew she wanted to become a veterinarian.
In 1999, she graduated from NCSU with a Bachelor’s in Zoology, in 2011 with a Master of Physiology, and in 2023 with her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine, as well as a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) certification from the Chi University in Florida.
Throughout her extensive veterinary career, Dr. Daley worked as a veterinary assistant for over 30 years with small, large, mixed, and exotic animals. She has worked in veterinary oncology and has been a veterinarian for just over a year.
With Heal House Call Veterinarian, Dr. Daley is excited to apply her experience and education to make connections with her patients and their caregivers. She enjoys getting to know the animals and humans, working as a team, and tailoring treatment plans to their individual needs.
Dr. Daley aims to provide access to veterinary care for anyone seeking it and, for whatever reason, cannot physically get to a veterinary hospital.
Dr. Daley lives in North Carolina and loves to spend time with her husband, three daughters and four dogs: Lila, Lance, Francis, and Violet and seven cats: Wolfie, Ringo, Sokie, Skippy, Oliver, Sage, and 21. She also has a Chinchilla, Pikachu.
