Highly recommend. I was skeptical coming here bc of the price and the usual nature of emergency vets. It was a last resort when we couldn't see my regular vet for an entire week, and it was very close to home. My dog was diagnosed with renal failure, but she got to come home for a few days with medication. I was planning on taking her to our vet when the time came, but before the day of the appointment she took a turn. The price for euthanasia and cremation was around $350, includes an urn that you choose and paw print. From start to finish, everyone was so kind and empathetic. You have to keep in mind that they have a highly stressful job, and they are constantly surrounded by people/pets that are in pain. I can imagine it's not easy to stay positive and treat people with respect no matter what, yet in my experience, they did just that. They didn't rush me and they tried their best to guide me through this difficult process, while still being up front about the situation. I hope not, but if I ever find myself needing another er vet, definitely coming here. I appreciate ya'll so much! They accept Care Credit btw.

I came to get Samantha’s ashes and urn on December 26, 2024. It took forever to get her back. I just wanted her home for Christmas but it didn’t work out that way. The man comes on Tuesday and Thursday. Christmas was Wednesday and they said when I called I probably wouldn’t get her back on Christmas Eve. 🥲This was upsetting to me especially because they told me when I left her it would only be between 7-10 days. I left her on the 13th. Also, you are given a certificate of cremation not a death certificate. The date was days after I left her. What did they do with her all that time? Was she warm? Cold? Comfortable? I left her blanket with her. Understanding I might not get it back. Which I didn’t. But, they would try their best. I hope they are using it on a dog that needs it. Because when I asked for it the person didn’t look very hard. She was only gone for about 30 seconds maximum! I think my dog and I deserved more respect. I wasn’t happy but what do u do? The person at the desk started taking the next person’s $2000.00+ dollars. They had already taken enough of mine over the last few months. Samantha had many follow up appointments with her heart doctor there before they released her scheduled for March 2025. So I had already paid my many thousands. I guess she thought I just needed to take my little urn and get out of her door. Without checking the contents of my bag. What if it was the wrong animal? How can you tell? But, like I said I was just a pain to this person now because I wasn’t spending any more money. The person who came in after me to pay only. Her dog was in the back. No one was in line. She didn’t want to answer my questions anymore she just wanted me gone. If there had been any animal or person in line that needed them I would have sat patiently and let them go around me. But, why did I get treated like this when she was just paying money? And I had already paid mine? But, I did discover they had much better prices for their cremation services than in Charlotte. And their urn’s are also more reasonably priced. I picked the dark brown wooden one and it has a sliding plate on the bottom. And it came with a paw print. But, I forgot to get any hair. 😔 And I think it was only around $200.00. For the urn, nice name plate, cremation, and paw print. My last cat cost me twice that amount in Charlotte. For just the urn, name plate and cremation. Most of the employees here are 100% awesome. But you always have one or two that ruin it for everyone.

Terrible clinic. I took my 11 year old lab in with an injury last week. They did all the right things in the first visit and $1,100.00 later gave her pain meds. She was doing a bit better, but still in pain. I called back in when she was out of carprofen to ask if they could give her a few days more. They said since she wasn’t better she would have to go see her vet and wouldn’t do anything. My dog went downhill fast. I called in to tell them that she was scheduled for euthanasia in 3 days and asked if they would prescribe a little bit to get her through the pain until she could be put down. They said that I would have to bring her back in because the doctor she saw the first time wouldn’t be back in until the next week (I can’t move my dog because she is in so much pain). They have her records and X-rays and refused to do anything of compassion to help a dying dog with pain until she could be put down. STAY AWAY from this place!!!

Had to put our 17 yr old cat down. Everyone was very kind and sympathetic. Everything was very clean and very quiet which made it easier for my scarred kitty. Thanks to the entire staff for making this extremely difficult time for us much easier.

From the moment we came in to Carolina Animal Speciality & Emergency Hospital our Golden, Scout was cared for. We know she was well cared for while in their capable hands. We want to give our special thanks to Emergency Care Dr. Molinaro, Internal Medicine Dr Helms, and Surgeon Dr. Diamond and all the techs assisting in Scout’s care. Also, thank you front office, each and every call was handled professionally and promptly. She is recovering at home now with lots of TLC from the family❤️
