Whole Pet Veterinary Hospital - South Charlotte

I took my cat, Merlin, to Whole Pet for the first time yesterday after hearing “ good things” from three friends. I visited on my own a few weeks ago to get a feel for the practice. During that visit Vanessa welcomed me and took the time to show me around and answer all my questions. First impressions make a difference, and she is wonderful. I love the space in the bright, cheerful entrance area and the fact that I was immediately shown into a room with Merlin without a wait. Yesterday we visited with Dr. Laura who was so warm and friendly. She listened to me, as did her vet tech, and took the time to answer any questions and discuss the different forms of medicine Merlin could take. She reassured me that if this didn’t work we could try something else. I was very impressed with out visit yesterday and my two cats will be regular patients going forward.🐱🐱❤️

I can’t express my gratitude for Whole Pet enough. I had to take my ferret to the emergency vet and the next morning he was doing worse. I called over 10 different veterinary offices and they were the only one who could work me in early in the day. Since then they have been extremely flexible with scheduling 3 more appointments, and incredibly kind and knowledgeable, making sure I’ve been informed throughout the entire process and presented with all of my options. Dr Laura was even very transparent with me that she didn’t feel comfortable doing a particular procedure that we discussed because of the potential risks due to my ferret’s small size. Instead, she referred me to a colleague who was experienced with that procedure. She even called me after hours to touch base with me. They were able to put my worries at ease, and my little guy is feeling better. A massive thank you to Dr Laura and the entire staff ❤️

Our favorite vet ever. We started coming here after our dog had an infection for 4 months that the previous vet could not clear up. One visit to Whole Pet and she was all fixed up. They’ve taken great care of her this year, including TPLO with Dr Benitez at the Davidson location and water treadmill therapy at Mtn Island. We’ve done acupuncture and red light therapy. I love that we can try other therapies before going right to pharmaceuticals/surgery.

AMAZING service! Katie and Vanessa are brilliant receptionists and help the vets provide top notch service. My dog is never scared to go to the vet now! They’re certified fear-free: as in, they’ll get on the floor to help build rapport with your pet. I see Dr Khare and my dog loves her. Please consider coming here, you won’t regret it! I bring my dog in for a weigh-in every 6 months and they are so kind and don’t force my dog on the scale, they let her sniff then walk on on her own. PLEASE consider Whole Pet as your new vet!!!!

So very thankful for the entire whole pet team for taking care of my senior Boston terrier in his end of life with compassion and patience. They did not one second give up on him and followed my requests until we were ready to say goodbye. Thankful for a team of vet professionals that are clearly well educated and determined to give the best care possible; persevering through a complicated difficult case like we had to the very end keeping my old little man comfortable and happy.

Whole Pet is the whole package! Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Laura has been our vet through 2 dogs and a bunny...we all love her♡ We have a very anxious dog and she treats him with such love and understanding...why aren't people doctors this good??
