Carolinas Veterinary Medical Hospital

I do not recommend this vet. I took my 4 healthy cats in for a simple procedure as I wanted to get them microchipped. This vet also requires several vaccinations.…the rabies vaccination I am fine with and understand, but they also require an intranasal bordatella vaccine for cats as well as other vaccines. My friend who has worked at several vet offices said most vets have never heard of an intranasal vaccine for cats and would not give cats a bordatella vaccine. My cats all came home sneezing so much with a runny nose and eye discharge, which is upsetting because they were perfectly healthy before I took them to this vet to get microchipped. I called to report my cats symptoms and I was told that these symptoms are completely normal after the intranasal vaccine and would go away within a week. Fast forward to a week later and all my cats were sick af! Very lethargic, barely eating, and sooo much congestion and discharge that 2 of them could hardly breathe. I took the most sickly cat back in and an employee of this vet told me that he is bad. I was honestly appalled when she said he’s bad bc he’s the most sweet cat ever, but he gets very frightened at the vet and he was also not feeling well and I was just there to try to get him some help, not to discuss any perceived behavioral issues. I called the next morning to try to bring my other 3 cats in and they told me that there was no doctor in and they would give me a call back. I ended up having to take them all to an emergency animal hospital since I never received a call back. My babies visit at this vet was 3 weeks ago and now they are all on meds given to me by another vet. I have missed several days of work and spent a lot more money that expected having to keep taking them to vet appointments to resolve the issues caused here. 1 cat is better, one is showing improvement, and 2 are still quite sick 3 weeks later. My dog is now also showing some of the same symptoms so I hope she didn’t pick something up from the cats after their visit here. The vet at the emergency hospital I took them to said that this vet is probably having a bordatella outbreak and that is why they require bordatella vaccines for cats. All in all this has been an absolute nightmare and I do not plan on returning to this vet. I do want to mention that most of the staff is nice, likable, and friendly, but I hate what my pets are going through ever since I brought them here and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.

Dr. Watson is by far the most compassionate and friendly Veternarian I have ever experienced. He did a laser procedure on my frenchie so that he can breath better. It was a success. His staff are friendly and caring and the office is neat and meticulous. I give this establishment a 10, and highly recommend Dr. Watson 🐶for all you pets needs

I have been taking my dog to Carolinas Veterinary for several years now, and I have to say that it’s the best veterinary establishment that I’ve been to in a long time. Dr. Watson is very caring and does all he can to ensure that my dog receives the best treatment possible. The staff are always friendly and professional. I live farther away than I used to when I first started to bring my dog, but the slightly longer drive is worth it. I know that Dr. Watson and the staff have my pets’ best interests at heart. With the introduction of my kitten to the staff, I feel even more than ever that this is the right place for both of my pets. Various staff members have made over my kitten and have welcomed her into the fold. I don’t know of a more caring staff anywhere. I would also like to say that Dr. Hariharan’s enthusiasm when dealing with my kitten put me totally at ease. If you are looking for a place where people will be kind and attentive to your pets, Carolinas Veterinary Medical Hospital is the place to be.

We've been bringing our dogs here for close to a year now and it's by far the best care our dogs have received. Wonderful people and high quality of care. They even bring out a blanket for my dog who loves being covered up. Just so sweet.

Exceptional care! All the staff are caring, patient, knowledgeable, and kind. We've never felt rushed or like our pups are put through a generic, monkey-making scheme. Every time we leave, we can't believe we went anywhere else for our pup's care. Thank you CVMH!!
