Waxhaw Animal Hospital

All they want is money! They do not care about your pets unless you have money. They also makes excuses your pets is tense to avoid a full examination. I gave them a second chance by going back to them after a three years absent because I sensed they mistreated my pet from their boarding facility. Now I've pulled both of my pets out after realizing what they tried to pulled on a heartworm prescription. They are thieves, and I believe they do not know what they are doing really. Except they want money money money! Pros: None at all! Cons: Money money money more

Do not take your animal to Waxhaw Animal Hosp. My dog has been through various doctors there in the past 2 years. I have taken my dog there 3 times in the last 2 weeks with complaints of throwing up and bowel issues. 1st visit the vet claimed it was just diet, and to watch him. We took him back 2 more times and they did one x-ray which they claimed showed that nothing was wrong and that he did not need a barium series. Every time I called waxhaw animal Hosp. the vet never spoke with me only the vet tech would call. Within the 2 weeks I was taking him there he lost 10lbs. None of this phased them. I found a new vet, who within three hours, diagnosed him and he is now going for surgery today. When I went to Waxhaw to get his records & get loan out his x-ray the Vet was rude to me and would not loan out his x-ray. This has been going on for 2 wks and the VETS as waxhaw just did not care about my dogs health. My new vet said, after the surgery, that this was a very severe condition and my dog almost did not make it. Be wary of them, my dog suffered too long without being diagnosed. Pros: non Cons: My dog almost died in their care. more

I have been going here for years. I have heard alot of bad things about Waxhaw Animal Hospital but never had any problems. They have always been good to my cat. Had my cat in for shots she is 3 yrs old and no problems, 4 hrs after the shots she was walking funny. I call the vet and they said if she was not better in the morning to bring her back in. She did not make it through the night. She was fine before the shots. Please do not use this place. I heard bad things, now I am one of those people. Pros: Close to home. Cons: I HAVE A DEAD CAT NOW more

My husband took a stray cat that we have been feeding to this vet yesterday to see if it could be helped. They wanted $250 - $300 to do all sorts of test and x-rays. The cat looked like it was on its last leg and he asked if they could just look at him without all that cost. They said that they'd do a couple of test and let him know. He called me while he was waiting and I called another vet and they said it'd be $35 for an exam, but , unfortunately, they were closing in 20 minutes and he was still at the other place. They came back and said it wasn't either of those things and what did he want to do. Again with the $250 - $300. He asked about a price break considering it was a stray, did they not help animals like that? He was told that when an animal was left on the step, they would help it, but wouldn't budge on the price. My husband was very upset and left with the cat. It died not 100 yards from their parking lot. I got a call this morning saying we owed $38 for the test they did. They never offered to put the poor animal out of its misery, they just wanted to do a bunch of test and collect their fee. We've been clients for a few years, but no more. We give to pet charities and felt bad for the abandoned cat, but who wants to pay that kind of money for an animal that looks to be dying. My husband now regrets trying to help. The last few hours of that poor animals life were spent being tramatized at a vets office that didn't care. Cons: no compassion for stray more
