Carolina Veterinary Specialists Huntersville

5/24/2024 Absolutely nothing worse than having to rush your family member to the animal emergency room! My sweet Angel needed medical attention but it wasn’t life or death at that time but serious enough. We had a wait because a patient came in needing immediate urgent care which is very understandable. Dr. Messenger did a wonderful job treating Angel. He did his examination and clearly explained to me what was going on with her making me feel more comfortable about the situation. He brought in a sweatshirt for me and a blanket for Angel due to it being cold on in the exam room. I see mixed reviews on here and people complaining about having to wait. There’s always going to be a wait unless it’s extremely urgent care that is needed. A big thank you to the staff and Dr Messenger! At the worst part of my day you guys made it better and brought a lot of relief. Angel is recovering but not out of the woods yet. I am hopeful for a full recovery for her.

I had to bring in my 17 year old kitty, Baby Susie, 3 different times in the span of about two weeks because she was suffering from severe anemia. The staff was so friendly to me and treated my kitty wonderfully every time I went. They let me visit her whenever even multiple times a day and they would always call and give us updates on how she was doing. Even though my cat was very old they took everything very seriously and did not label her as a lost cause just because of her age. Each time I had to take her the front desk staff was very friendly to me and were very helpful. The second time i brought her in it was an emergency and the second I arrived someone came out and immediately grabbed her and took her back. Dr. Bailey was wonderful to my kitty, she even got her in with the cardiologist in Matthews the day after they suspected she had heart failure. Even when there was little hope that my baby was going to live much longer Dr Bailey still gave her another chance. I would highly recommend coming for any pet emergency because of how kind and compassionate they treated not only me but my precious kitty. We had to put my sweet baby down a few days ago but it is comforting to know that they really did try their very best to save her.

Came in on a busy Saturday night, 10/5/24. Staff was friendly, informative, and kept me in the loop about the wait time. They were knowledgeable and suggested the best treatment for my dog - I felt they didn’t pressure any unnecessary testing or procedures. They provided great care and my vet was impressed when I brought my dog in for a follow up.

Took my 17-1/2 yr old cat in on a Sun as her glucose was high. Without my consent, they muzzled her, shaved her leg and poked her leg unsuccessfully for blood. When I got her home she is now limping. I called their clinic and the vet tech I spoke with said “you probably heard her screaming.” This clinic should have their license revoked for animal cruelty.
