When I explained the situation, the response I received was that I "should have let them know." How can anyone possibly predict the death of a loved one? At a time when I was grieving and overwhelmed, the last thing I expected was to be penalized financially by a place that's supposed to care for animals and people. This policy and the way it was enforced was not only insensitive, it was inhumane. I will not be returning and would not recommend them to anyone who values compassion and decency.

I took my dog in for a dental cleaning with a written estimate of $539.99. When I arrived for the…read moreappointment, the total had jumped to as much as $656.97 because of a fecal test (apparently due since April) and a heartworm test -- neither of which was ever communicated to me between the estimate and the appointment. Both were things I would have agreed to with notice, but springing them on me the day of, after I'd planned around the original estimate, is not how a well-run practice operates. The lack of communication continued through discharge. My dog came out of general anesthesia and the tech who released him didn't verbally review feeding instructions or what to monitor for overnight -- it was only in the packet. At my previous vet, the veterinarian personally called after a dental to let me know how it went; here, I didn't hear from the vet at all. The results of the heartworm and fecal tests weren't reviewed with me either, even though the whole purpose of the heartworm test was to clear my dog for his flea/tick prevention refill -- I had to ask about both the result and the medication myself. One more practical note: they're consistently booked out at least two weeks. If your pet has an urgent issue, don't expect to get in quickly. The care itself wasn't incompetent, but for the premium they charge, the communication and follow-through were well below what I'd expect. I won't be bringing my pets back.

Hands down the best vet clinic/animal hospital in Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach or literally…read moreanywhere and I have had some good ones across the country. Facility was immaculate and clean. They got me in as a new patient on short notice just for a bordatella shot for my dog (typically given nasally but my dog prefers needles I guess...) because I was leaving for a trip and new to the area. That's all he was due for and it was their first time seeing him. They waived $100 for the initial visit and he finally got his vaccine after I wasted hours the past two days at different vets who would refuse to honor his wishes with the needle as he is not fond of anything intranasally. On top of that, my dog was clearly as stressed as I was after 3 consecutive days of vet trips but Dr. John was amazing and spent his time to win him over. He did it calmly and patiently. His bedside manner is as good as or better than mine ( and I'm a radiologist) ;). Don't waste your time and go anywhere else. Listen to the doc :) Thank you guys!

Dr. R and Holland are AMAZING! If you're reading this and thinking about using a mobile vet, give…read morethem a call immediately!! I'm so excited to right this review because it's rare that my wife and I have met a team of people who truly care about what they do as much as this duo. What's more, they are simultaneously talented, knowledgeable, and reliable. It's been a pleasure to welcome them into our home as they are genuinely friendly, factual, and fantastic with dogs. When we had to say goodbye to our little Iris, they couldn't have been kinder, more sympathetic, or helpful. They took care of everything and allowed us to support each other instead of having to worry about logistics. Again, I can't say enough good things so give them a ring! You'd be truly lucky to work with this phenomenal team!!

DO NOT USE THIS VET We were loyal clients of Dr. Reinhart…read morefor over three years. Our two Belgian Malinois were seen every 5-6 weeks--more frequently than most. We were respectful, proactive, and always paid our bills--until a single miscommunication in April 2025 led to an unpaid check. I contacted the clinic immediately and Dr. Reinhart personally said it was not a problem. Days later, we tried to refill a prescription through a military-discount pharmacy. Her staff denied the request, citing the unpaid balance and a claim we hadn't "been seen"--both false. When I emailed the clinic, Dr. Reinhart called me not to help, but to chastise me for my "tone." She refused to discuss our prior agreement and was condescending and combative with both me and my husband. We calmly said we would find another vet. What happened next was deeply concerning: * Our dogs' records were suddenly labeled "DO NOT SERVICE" * And marked with "Muzzle - Use Caution - High Priority" These labels did not exist in over three years of previous records and were added only after our phone call. There is no documented aggression or incident that would justify them. The only muzzle notes in the file show that we muzzled them voluntarily out of caution. No vet should be allowed to weaponize medical records to punish clients for disagreements. This wasn't just unprofessional--it was unethical. We trusted her with our dogs. She responded by smearing their names.

I brought my 16 year old cat in a few months ago for fluid retention. They told me she had…read morelymphoma, and that she maybe had 48 hours to live. They gave me no treatment options and basically tried to get me to put her down even though her mood and appetite was totally normal. They gave me steroids to keep her comfortable and told me to expect her to pass soon. The entire time the staff was giggling amongst each other very loudly in the back while I was sobbing my heart out alone in the exam room. Absolutely horrible bedside manner from these chicks. I brought her home and she did not get worse and when I called them back for more steroids they never responded to me. They only got back to me when the AMAZING staff at Paws & Claws called them for her charts, and they didn't even call me back, they sent me a text. Insanely unprofessional. My cat is doing great. She has had fluid drained at Paws and Claws three times, and now she is doing amazing. She has not filled back up with fluid and is doing great on CBD and mushroom supplements. Don't come here, I can't imagine how many animals they have put down because they are either incompetent, lazy, or a sick combination of both. My cat is my best friend and I would do anything for her, including putting her down if it was her time, but it's clearly not. Months later and she is still thriving. Stay away from this awful vet!! I have heard they do this often and have talked to others who had horrible experiences with these heartless monsters :) wish I could give zero stars!
