I drive over an hour to get to AHS for my eight fur babies. First of all, I love the people there, so kind and supportive. Having been a pet parent of many fur babies for over three decades, and having been to so many vet clinics and hospitals in different states, I can tell that AHS is a genuinely great place. I also love that they have the availability for emergency appointments, since switching to AHS in July 2024, we have been accommodated two emergency visits already: One for my pregnant Chihuahua and the other for my 21 year old cat. I called in the morning and we were fortunate to have been seen on the same day within a few hours. What a difference it makes! I used to call around clinics worried and stressed asking to see if any clinic could squeeze us into their already booked day. We had a primary clinic that we went for four years since moving to Charlotte, they seldom had any openings for emergencies. Totally understand they have to make ends meet so no complaints, it’s just great at AHS we have higher chances of being seen when we really need to and that’s with the familiar staff and doctors at the facility we know. Animal lovers would appreciate this as we have experienced going to an urgent care clinic with a sick buddy, we would be very worried and having to wait for many hours and not knowing anyone there would give us compounded anxiety and stress. Yes, it’s a long drive for me/my animal family, but I am very happy with the caring people, the services they offer, and of course the quality of medical care we have received.

Response from Animal Hospital of Statesville Thank you so much for that wonderful review! We will certainly always do our best to make your drive worth the "trouble"! Good news, too, is that we will be opening a 2nd clinic in Troutman, so you'll save 15 or so minutes on your drive sometime in late summer 2025 (or at least, that's our goal)! We are expanding to fill the needs of our clients and their pets, knowing that there are times when you just need to get in to see the vet ASAP! Thanks again for the glowing review - we strive to give you more reason to continue literally going the extra mile(s) to get to us!
