Animal Hospitals in Charlotte

“Customer service was excellent. When we meet the vet she made us feel confident in her treatment. definitely will retune if needed.“

“My two dogs (a rescued pitbull and a pit mix) usually see Dr. Wood or Dr. Williams and have always had positive experiences.)That’s why I was surprised and disappointed with a recent visit with Dr. Elizabeth Brown for my foster dog, Armani, a 1-year-old pitbull rescue. Armani is very sweet, though he can be excitable and nervous during exams. While Dr. Brown did examine him, I felt the interaction could have been more welcoming and supportive. She did not greet or introduce herself at the start, and her demeanor seemed uncomfortable with Armani’s energy. During the exam, when he was moving around, she audibly expressed frustration by saying “ugh, ugh” and even commented that her back would hurt if she had to keep trying, before sitting on the bench usually meant for clients. These kinds of remarks made the situation feel more stressful rather than calming. She also kept mentioning that Armani “needs a lot of work” and suggested that a certain treatment option might make him “more aggressive.” I have to note he showed zero aggression. And he’s gone a long way since I got him at the shelter, which I made sure to mention. When I asked if she meant “edgy” or “nervous,” not “aggressive” she quickly backtracked, but by then the tone of the visit felt discouraging and gave me the impression of an unfair bias against his breed. As a foster parent, I work hard to help Armani feel safe and cared for, and I hope that all veterinarians he sees can support that effort with patience and compassion. Small changes in communication, such as a warm greeting, clearer explanations, and more positive reinforcement, would go a long way in building trust with both pets and owners, especially with breeds that often face stigma. I share this feedback not to criticize, but in the hope it can be helpful. I know Piper Glen has wonderful staff (including Sienna who was very sweet and kind to Armani) and I want Armani (and other pets like him) to receive the same respectful, supportive care I’ve always experienced here with my other dogs.“

“I always have an amazing experience here and so do my pets. Caroline was so so sweet to my girl when I brought her there. They made her feel so loved and comfortable. 10/10 recommend this animal hospital!!“

“Very Friendly and caring staff. And I definitely wouldn’t take out anywhere else. Absolutely the best“

“I brought my dog, Holly, to see Dr. Hreiz for a leg injury. Everyone was so friendly and gentle with Holly, who gets extremely nervous at the vet. Dr. Hreiz took the time to explain everything to me and he and Olivia were so patient with her, giving her lots of pets and treats! Holly’s favorite person by far was Jules! They were SO sweet to her and she just loved them❤️“

“Amazing staff and veterinarians who truly care! Dr. Magelinski was wonderful with my dog, Dixie—making her feel safe, explaining everything clearly, and providing top-notch care. I wouldn’t trust my fur babies anywhere else!“

“Thank you to Dr. Wheelock, Megan, Ashley, and the team for making our first visit such a pleasant and seamless experience. Dr. Wheelock was attentive, informative and took his time with us. We never once felt rushed which I really appreciate. It’s clear how passionate he and the team are! Left feeling relieved about some lingering uncertainties and much more confident moving forward, which means a great deal. We'll be back!“

“The Vet and assistants are so kind and attentive! They take great care of our 2 cats, and do a great job of guiding us through their diagnosis and treatment options“

“Professional, great empathy, understanding, knowledge…. Won’t find a better vet in Charlotte“

“I can't say enough good things about the people here and the hospital! They were so thorough with my very sick young cat. They're looking into all what can be causing her problems. I'm so happy I was referred here for help. The tech and dr spent so much time discussing her problem,testing.,explaining everything and ask8 if I had any questions. Thank you so much for everything for my fur baby. I finally feel she'll be on the road to recovery soon !“

“Thankfully we don’t have to visit often, but we always have had a great experience when we do. We had a bit of an urgent situation that they were able to get us in for. I was comfortable with Dr. Wes knowing he listened to my concerns and was able to rule some things out, while also making sure my dog was physically comfortable throughout her exam and tests. I’m not sure of the front desk associate and vet tech names that I interacted with, but they were just as pleasant. Dr. Wes even called later in the week to follow up on how she was doing. Those small things mean a lot to pet owners. Thank you all, again!“

“I can't say enough about how caring and empathetic the folks at this place are. I'm newish to Charlotte and hadn't found a vet yet but my sick dog needed to be seen. I did not receive good news about his health and while giving us this news Dr. Pressley sat on the floor with us and gave us the sad news, explained it in detail, and shot it to us straight which I really appreciate. We had to make the devastating decision to go back a couple days later so they could help our dog pass peacefully and Dr. Skinner helped us that day. She was so sweet and kind. I feel like the doctors and the staff treated us like we had been patients for years. The compassion they all had was really heartwarming. This was a terrible time but everyone I encountered was extremely kind. I appreciate them so much!“

“My fur baby and I (Bobbi) just moved to Charlotte and have been looking for a vet. I am very particular about where I send Bobbi because he can get so scared.

Uptown vet was amazing. It was very easy to make an appointment. They are all so sweet and professional and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Jenn was amazing and explained everything to me. Bobbi did great and didn't want to leave. If you love your dog like it is your own child, I would not trust anyone else but Uptown Vet Hospital with your baby. They are amazing!“

“Minnie el chapo spent the night and came home beautiful and happy due to wonderful staff!“

“I switched to Cotswold Animal Hospital for my 2 dogs this year and I couldn’t be happier with the care they provide. The vets and all staff have been so kind and friendly-they really care about my dogs having a comfortable and positive experience. It has been easy to get appointments for problem focused and well care visits, and we have gotten in and out without long wait times. The office runs very efficiently and I love being able to request appointments online with a timely response. I appreciate that the vets don’t immediately jump to doing a bunch of tests and procedures immediately when one of the dogs has a problem-one of my dogs recently had an issue and Dr.May recommended watchful waiting. This saved my girl a painful procedure and me money because the problem resolved without any need for treatment. I highly recommend this practice!

Update 4/7/23
I continue to love this Vet practice and their approach to the pets and parents they serve. The sweet front desk staff, the vet techs/assistants, and the vets all work together to make our visits as stress free as possible. We were worked in for an urgent visit on a very busy day and we felt like we were the only ones they had to take care of. Dr White and his assistant Michelle did an amazing job taking the time my fearful dog needed to have the best possible experience. I have now met all 4 of the vets here and I can’t say enough about their kindness and care if my dogs and me. I am so grateful for my Vet Home.“

“Davis lake is an awesome place to bring your animal for care. The Dr took great care to check out my dog. He gave some great info about what's going on with him. I would recommend this place for your loved ones also.“

“The staff at Ballantyne Vet Clinic are always so kind and compassionate with my elderly dog. They always follow up to check on him after his visits. Dr. Humphreys is thorough in his exams and takes time to explain his rationale for treatment choices and answers all questions. I never feel rushed and he does not make you feel pressured into anything you aren’t comfortable with. With an older dog, I choose to keep testing and medications to a minimum and he allows me the freedom to do that. He offers me the option to do what is necessary to keep my dog comfortable without causing him undue stress. I highly recommend Dr. Humphreys and this clinic!!“

“I had the absolute best experience here with my dog. I know my dogs are in excellent care here. 10/10 recommend“

“Exceptional experience on every level. From the moment you step in, the clinic's atmosphere sets it apart—it feels calming, holistic, and thoughtfully artistic decorated with lots of beautiful paintings (it looks like an art gallery inside a ZEN-SPA!!!), which immediately put both me and my pet at ease.

Beyond the beautiful environment, Dr. Schacht is exceptionally knowledgeable and took the time to give a clear, thorough explanation of my pet's health. For the first time after living in the Charlotte area for 10 years, I felt I was speaking the same language with a professional. In Europe homeopathy is very popular and well-established, so it has always been difficult for me to find someone capable in this area of the US. Until I stepped into this clinic!

I never felt rushed, and I left with complete confidence in their expertise. The entire team is warm and professional. This clinic is a rare find that perfectly blends art, compassion, and top-tier veterinary medicine. Thank you for your dedication!“

“I love Dr Lail. She is very knowledgeable and thorough.
My dog was whining and we didn't know why. She diagnosed correctly to be in the neck. An X-ray showed two misplaced vertebrae. I was so thankful to find out the cause of our little baby's pain so we could help her.“

“Dr. Cassandra shared a holistic approach that I appreciated greatly; she helped my dog with her anxiety issues. Dr. Cody has also been awesome for treating Cooper’s chronic arthritis and gut issues. All of our pets have received amazing care from the Vets and techs at Quail Hollow. The receptionists are always kind. We really appreciate their TLC.“

“I cannot recommend Dr.Bishop and his team enough. They see 2 of my pets with IBD and anxiety and provide them with compassionate care, always going above and beyond. Highly recommend.“

“We have trusted Mallard Creek Animal Hospital with the care of our animals for 10+ years. Even with the occasional change of staff, the care remains the same, which always feels above and beyond. Doctors, management, technicians, assistants and receptionists always put your pet first, and display a complete dedication to the overall wellbeing of our furry loved ones. Patience is a virtue that all staff possess, even when you have endless (oftentimes silly) questions. In this way, staff contribute to our wellbeing as well, putting our minds at ease during difficult times. No animal hospital is perfect, but some are just a tad closer to it than others, this establishment being one of them.“
