I would not recommend this vet at all if you reside in Cornelius. The staff from the front desk to…read morethe vets are not very friendly or personable. I have brought my three cats and four-month-old puppy here, and they almost seem like they are not animal lovers. Due to the uncomfortable nature of their customer service, having to follow up on unanswered emails after multiple business days, lackluster record creation, over-priced care, the disconnection between the staff and my pets, and the following two occurrences, I will no longer return to this vet. 1. We recently got my puppy, and his previous owners had not done the best job at house training, leash walking, or outside behavior. We immediately started training on dropping objects, as when we went outside, he would eat everything on the ground. This includes objects deadly to dogs like gum, plastics, and metals. I researched to see what vets have recommended in situations like this. People have been professionally advised and found great success in using face guards, to keep their dogs from ingesting unwanted objects. I decided to use one to keep my puppy safe, especially in times when I know we would not be able to get to him soon enough. Many pet parents finally found peace after spending years and thousands on vet bills for dogs that swallowed inedible objects. When my puppy had this mask on while entering the vet, a veterinarian grilled my boyfriend in front of the lobby asking why our dog has a muzzle on and how it isn't okay to leave it on them in times when they are in a crate. The insinuation that we would do this is bewildering. The comments were extremely unnecessary and could have been simply explained in a respectful conversation. Assuming what we do at home and attempting to publicly shame a customer over a made-up idea instead of just asking for the purpose is the same social stigma that leads people to not use face masks....and have their dog eat trash on the sidewalk....and then end up at the vet. So, I guess it actually makes sense that they would prefer my dog to eat something he shouldn't for the extra couple thousand they would have in their pockets. 2. Secondly, the incompetence of the staff here is why I ultimately decided against this business. After my initial visit with my puppy, he received all of his regular vaccines and needed to return for one DHPP booster. I am wanting to get him signed up for daycare asap, so I followed up with Animal Hospital of Cornelius to see exactly when my dog can get this booster. They responded by asking for paperwork with his DOB, which I already previously provided weeks before. They said after he turns 16 weeks, he can receive the booster. I set the daycare up for him after that, and followed up with the vet 4 days later asking what time I can come in. This vet's response was that they made an error while reviewing the records and my dog actually needs two more boosters instead of one. That was fine. I canceled the daycare, waited until he turned 16 weeks, and got the first vaccine. I now had to wait a month until he could get his second (final) booster to start daycare. I waited the month, which leads me to today where me and my boyfriend took time off of work to take my dog for his last booster. We walk in and the front desk looks like they want to quit their job per usual. We wait for a second in the lobby (even though they call this a walk-in appointment), just for a vet to come out (Kinzey K.) and say that they made an error...again. She barely greets us and doesn't even look at our dog. She looked like she just wanted us to leave the entire exchange. Probably because her Chili's door dash was waiting for her outside. She said that they looked at the records incorrectly and my dog actually only needed one booster. Meaning he was already fully vaccinated over a month ago.... I explained to her that we were told there was an error initially that triggered them realizing he needs 2 and not 1. She said she is aware, but repeated that just needed 1. I took time off work and have had to go back and forth with his day care and insurance people for literally no reason. That is not only frustrating, but this scenario could have been potentially dangerous to my dog's health due to them almost double vaccinating him with a vaccine he did not need. In all, this vet was overall a horrible experience and they do not seem to care about you or your dog. The customer treatment and poor record keeping is ridiculous. I also don't know how safe it is to be sending large quantities of Chili's to a vet practice where people's animals are. A good cue to if a vet practice is one you actually want to support and commit to is if they attempt to sell you the most expensive flea and tick medicine, and don't inform you about all your options. This is one of the vets that will just try to immediately sell you the most expensive product and then send you on your way.

I can't say enough good things about Off Leash K9 Training! Our trainer, Lindsey, was incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and made the entire process fun and engaging for both me and my pup, Ashe. Ashe at 6 months of age can be a bit of a handful , but Lindsey took the time to understand his behavior and tailored the training to his needs. After just two weeks, we noticed Ashe's confidence soar. Ashe is now much better behaved at the park, and he's responding wonderfully to commands like "sit," "place," "heel," and "come." This is the second dog I put through Off Leash K9 Training, and they truly help build trust between you and your pup. It allows you to take your pup into the world and enjoy life rather than sitting at home alone. I also love how Lindsey emphasizes the importance of consistency and makes sure we're practicing the right way at home. I feel so much more confident as a dog owner, and Ashe seems happier too! I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training of Charlotte to anyone looking to strengthen the bond with their dog and improve both their quality of life and behavior!

Dog almost died, Emergency Surgery…read more On June 17th, 2026 Our dog, Phoebe, unfortunately had to undergo emergency surgery due to the lack of clarity and responsibility of the Woof Den. Upon arrival, the application stated she is prone to eating foreign objects (i.e. "stuff on the ground"). At some point during the night she chewed and ate the plastic baseboard in her room and after the staff realized this first thing in the morning they still did not notify us until 12:21pm. They stated she was doing totally fine, nothing is wrong, she probably puked it all back up. They even tried to feed her twice during that day and let her run around and play with all of that plastic in her stomach. When we were finally notified about 6 hours after they discovered what happened, we requested photos because the information we received wasn't clear. The girl on the phone said she ate "wood" and it was about "1 foot". After 1 hour of receiving no photos from then we had to call back and text before receiving a photo. We then discovered it was way more than a foot and it wasn't wood, it was plastic. When speaking with a man named James, during pickup that afternoon, he told us there were rooms in another area that had tile on the floor and up the walls and we were left wondering why she was not placed in those rooms first after stating she is prone to eating foreign objects. (Because we aren't allowed back into the boarding area, we had no clue that there was anything for her to eat in the rooms) She puked up her dinner that evening, then puked up handfuls of plastic all night long so we decided time to go to the emergency vet. They did scans and found that her stomach was packed entirely full with the plastic and the best option was immediate surgery. After seeing how much the doctor removed and receiving pictures from the wolf den it became clear she ate about 2.5 feet of the plastic baseboard. The Woof Den would not comply after weeks of us trying through countless phone calls and emails, even though it was stated through verbal communication and the information provided on her paperwork about her separation anxiety and tendencies to eat things. We were forced to pay for the emergency surgery out of pocket with zero compensation from the Woof Den. Upon further review after this incident we have found that The Woof Den has had several Civil Penalties with the NC Department of Agriculture.

I have been to 3 so far; the first two were nice, but didnt particularly stand out. Fortunately, Dr Holland did at North Mecklenburg Animal Hospital. I have brought in 2 of my cats so far, and each time Dr Holland has been great with them, and has researched info on medications and options with specialists both for my cats with FIP and with eye issues; both visits, he was understanding about pricing concerns and gave options that I felt were fair and helpful, including thorough emails with additional info and follow up. The office is impeccably clean and the staff very kind. I have passed his info on to the rest of the family, and finally feel that we've found our new vet.

I appreciate that they offer later hours on weeknights, and they ALWAYS fit us in, even if it's close to closing time. That's usually when our dog seems to have issues, too, when our usual vet is already closed. No matter who we have seen--or at what time--we have received exceptional care at NMAH. So far, we've seen Dr. David James, Dr. Paul Kritzinger, Dr. Schaff (now retired), Dr. Kimberly Renehan, Dr. Rachel Spickler, Dr. Katie Blackard, and Dr. Anna Shaffer. The doctors are extremely thorough, and we always leave feeling like JoJo has been well cared for. They are also great about emailing us visit summaries and aftercare instructions, and they share details of our visits with our usual vet to ensure communication of her treatment plans. Even NMAH's technicians and front desk staff are wonderful. Everyone is just so warm and compassionate, and they understand the urgency of our situations. We highly recommend NMAH!
