"I cannot express enough gratitude towards the staff today 7/8/2023. We are not clients yet they welcomed us as we had an unresponsive dog, coming from Huger. He would not have made it to the emergency vet. The wonderful staff stabilized him for us to carry on to the west ashley emergency vet. Their kindness will never be forgotten. Thank you my new friends!!"
- Christine H "It's obvious why this place has 5 star reviews across the board....DR Walter's was absolutely wonderful she was caring and communicating like a vet should....this place isn't the normal experience. I'd say she was a God send. Also I'd like to mention becca the vet tech was awesome and a pleasure to deal with. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!"
- Daniel S "My pup, Rosie, and I moved to the area recently and decided to make Cainhoy Vet our home Vet! And wow I am so happy I did. We have been two times now and saw both Dr. Deford and Dr. Walter. They were so kind and friendly to my pup! Even though she was anxious and scared they did everything they could to make her feel at ease. Both times they were really good at explaining the cost of everything upfront and making sure I agreed. The pricing seems reasonable from what I’ve seen! Thank you Dr. Deford and Dr. Walter!!❤️🐾"
- Madi A "I recently switched to cainhoy vet and I’m very happy with the care my fur baby has received! Specifically Dr. Ingle! Something wasn’t right and she rechecked my Bruno and got him the best care possible. She is extremely knowledgeable, informative, and compassionate. Very happy we found her and her team!"
- Tiffany D "This was my second visit to this veterinary clinic. My first experience was about two years ago, during an emergency with my dog, and this visit was for my very grumpy cat. Both times—whether for an emergency or a routine wellness check—the staff was prompt, professional, and compassionate. After our dog was referred to a hospital for surgery, they followed up with the hospital and even sent a heartfelt card when he passed, despite having only seen him once. Their care and attention truly stand out."
