How to Save Money at Carolina Veterinary Specialists Charlotte
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Everyone from the moment we walked in was very kind and helpful. We very much appreciated Dr Miller’s calm compassion and thoroughness. We are so thankful our Riley is back home and recovering! They were also good about informing us about the costs which was very helpful in making decisions about our dog’s care.

Having experienced several Vet ERs, this experience has been the best! Dr. Miller and the ER nurse with braids were absolutely excellent. Very caring and the reason both my babies lived and recovered. I brought both my Sphynx and tortieshelle cats in with ivermectin toxicity one came home after two days with his main symptom temporary blindness. He fully recovered within 72hrs. However my other cat was completely comotose for over a week. During that time they worked around the clock making sure they kept her alive with fluids, and maintaining her vitals and temperature. She was unable to eat or use the bathroom on her own let alone blink. I truly feel most vets after the 72 hour mark would’ve given up recommended I put her down or demanded more money, however Dr. Miller was optimistic but honest about her condition and continued to care for her the best she could until it was 10 days without improvement and honestly she’d stayed past our budget. I decided to take her home, Dr. Miller respected that decision installed a tube for feeding, and gave me a bunch of instructions and SQ fluids. My girl came out of her coma 11 days after the day of ivermectin ingestion and is almost completely normal after 2.5 weeks. This is a place that cares. They let me visit my cat everyday! All Vet ERs are extremely expensive . However this place by far the most reasonable and isn’t greedy or all about the money. I also feel like Dr. Miller as busy as she is very communicative she gave us daily updates.

It has taken me a while to be ready to type up a review but I feel not submitting would be a disservice to everyone. Apologies for the length review but I think it's necessary. Triggers: Pet loss. If you don't want to read the full thing: Overall impression of Carolina Vet Specialists = amazing, 5 stars (specifically Dr. Andrews-Roberts and Dr. Barr) On April 27th, I took my beloved 13 year old cat into Carolina Vet Specialists. The day before I took him to another vet who told me he had a bladder infection but he was fine, no sign of a blockage. This didn't sit right with me based on how my cat was acting but I decided to trust the process as maybe he just needed the antibiotics to kick in. Sadly, he did not get better and he stopped eating. I sat with him all night, coaxing him to eat/drink, hoping for the best. I realize now in retrospect I should have taken him to Carolina Vet specialists sooner but in that moment I didn't understand the gravity of the situation and I put too much faith in the prior vet's words - a vet that had been our family vet for 15 + years. My mom and I did research and chose CVS with our fingers crossed. I will spare the details but Dr. Andrews-Roberts took care of Willy (my cat) in his final moments and I will be forever grateful. She did everything she could and she was an amazing, compassionate, empathetic doctor. Sadly, my sweet cat passed away under anesthesia but I feel confident she did everything she could do for him and I am thankful he had a somewhat peaceful passing. About one month later, I had to take my other senior cat in for a separate issue and was somewhat traumatized to come back to the same clinic my other cat died at but other vets weren't able to see her for a week and I didn't want to wait. They took amazing care of her and she's currently healthy cuddling with me now. Dr. Barr took amazing care of her and I would highly recommend her. I just wanted to post this because sometimes we fear the unknown. And if this review helps anyone and encourages them to take their sick pet sooner, then crying over my keyboard right now is worth it.

I feel like everyone who had a hand in Milo's treatment was very concerned about him. I came in so worried. But I left with hope. A big thank you to everyone.

We had a terrible accident with our senior cat late one night and ended up having to make the difficult decision to put her down. Everyone here was so empathetic, helpful, and comforting. The vet gave us options and walked us through different scenarios to try to help her, but let us to come to the decision to put her down on our own. So grateful for her gentleness and expertise and the care she had for our baby. The front desk lady I dealt with was also amazing and was very kind and empathetic and sensitive. I just can’t say how grateful we are during this really difficult time for us ☹️ we also are extremely impressed with the cremation services. We opted for the private cremation and the paw print. I was honestly expecting to get a simple box and we’d buy one on Etsy for her ashes, but what we got blew me away. The quality of the wooden engraved box is really good and it’s beautiful and the paw print holder is good quality and there’s room for two photos. Sorry for the long review, but we’re so happy with Carolina Veterinary Specialists and very grateful for everything that they did.
