Animal Hospitals in Charlotte

“We’ve brought our dogs to Rea Rd Animal hospital for many years. The knowledgeable, caring vets and staff clearly love working with animals and their people. So glad to have this practice in our community!“

“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 love the doctors and supporting staff here! They take the time to talk with you, answer questions, and fully love on my pup. Highly recommend!“

“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❤️“

“We had a great 1st visit here! One of the best experiences in a vets office that I’ve ever had. They were very kind towards our scared little guy and gave plenty of space. Offered for us to go in for weight checks whenever to help him get more acclimated to the location. Excited to bring our next dog there for her check in!“

“Dr. Moses is a wealth of knowledge and is willing to share that in order to help you understand what is going on with your kitty kid. I love that she has dedicated her life's work to Cat care and she is excellent at it. You can't go wrong in entrusting your kitty's health to her and her practice members.“

“Dr. Johnson and the staff at Compassionate Care exceeded our expectations from beginning to end with our dog Arnold. For 13 years we never had a single complaint and we always felt loved and taken care of. We could not recommend them enough as they treat you like family.“

“I have been going to Dr. Hanes for over 20 years. It’s a family business and we get treated like it. My pets have been getting excellent care because Dr. Hanes really does his profession for the animals and not just for the money!“

“These people are the kindest, most professional, and caring I’ve ever taken our dogs too. I could not have a better experience with the doctors and staff. They make you feel like family. Best vets in town! Thank y’all!“

“We’ve been coming to CNAC for 2 years and absolutely trust their wonderful team to give our boy the very best care. They are incredible!“

“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.“

“Great service and friendly staff! Appointments are always easy to make and is conveniently located in south charlotte.“

“The entire staff at Riverbend are incredible. We’ve been bringing our pup here for two years and she loves going to the vet and seeing all her friends here. We feel well taken care of and they have helped us through countless medical issues.“

“Dr. Ruch is so awesome w Tubbs. And the staff there are all very professional and kind.“

“On time appointment. Treated like royalty. Tender loving care given to my pet. Sufficient time after exam to go over results and ask questions.“

“They are nice and professional. Happy to answer questions and good with the animals.“

“Thankful for the continual love everyone here shows for my boy, Tonka ♥️ It gives me a lot of reassurance to know they treat him with the best care and he always loves going to see everyone there!“

“We took our 16 1/2 year old dog for a wellness review, to see if she was in any pain. The tech and dr. did an amazing job of explaining signs that is "time" to us and let us know that she is not in pain. We took her home and she has been fine. They were patient, spent a lot of time and answered all of questions. Great place!“

“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!“

“Always caring and expert care and thoughtful. Very good at taking care of our baby boys medical needs and treatment. We only have Little Tommy now as Spanky passed a few months ago. Spank had good care and compassion as does Tommy. Very efficient and knowledgeable caring treatment. Spank and Tommy never liked to come to the Vet office, but this made it very good for them.“

“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.“

“Dr.Zulty and vet tech Charlize Gonzalez were amazing for my puppy Daisy! The whole staff has been amazing taking care of my dog while she is being updated on shots and while I had concerns of my puppy having worms. I couldn’t have had a better experience with a veterinarian that truly cares about my dog and takes time to explain things as a first time puppy owner!“
