Ginger, my teacup poodle was seen a week ago and they wanted me to get a urine specimen and I had a difficult time with this. Ava was so patient with both Ginger and me and made our visit much more relaxed. I really appreciate the care and attention that all of the techs and doctors show . Dr Craven was professional and made us feel right at home. We are so glad that a friend told us about Care First on Tryon Road!

We took our pup Marlee to get her spay here. The day of they were all very accommodating, and made us feel that she was in the best of hands, the surgery went good & is healing up well. They took the time to call us the following day to make sure she was recovering well. A few days after her spay she started bleeding like she was on her cycle, worried I called first thing in the morning and they immediately made her a drop off visit. The vet Dr. Peterson took her in no questions asked, they did a full exam and ultrasound everything came back good (this could be due to her being active or that her cycle was close to her spay) they also did not charge me anything for this visit, I am so appreciative of all the staff here, they truly seem to care about their patients not just about money. It’s truly heartwarming to see that their are people who care. Thank you Dr. Peterson for taking such good care of Marlee, for your knowledge and understanding & thank you to the vet techs Ava & Ronaldo for all your help this morning they are both very kind and professional. Just all around great people at this location, just know your pet will be in good hands here. I can’t thank them enough!

Excellent pet care. They get to know our family of pets through the years and I feel like they cater to their specific needs. The staff is warm and friendly. Their service is exceptional. I highly recommend them.

Workers were outside clearing ice on sidewalk! Staff was friendly and attentive as well as very professional. I wish they were use a newer style soft collars because the old fashioned plastic cone collar was too long for my cat to eat, imposed her mobility a lot and she could t eat easily while wearing. I ended up cutting the length a little and took it off before healing time was complete. Please get soft collars to test?!

The staff at the Tryon - Care First Animal Hospital showed utmost compassion during my recent visit. The purpose of the visit was to say a reluctant but necessary goodbye to our sweet dog of over 14 years. Each staff member, including the doctor, demonstrated sincere empathy. The procedure was professional and gentle. We received a condolence card handwritten by each staff member, which is cherished by me and my wife. Thank you for your compassionate service to the community. Keith
