Services
Dr. Hight is originally from Hickory, NC. He attended North Carolina State University as an undergraduate studying zoology and received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989. From 1989 through 1995, he practiced at a small animal veterinarian hospital in Raleigh, NC.
At Hight Veterinary Hospital, we use Sevoflurane gas as our anesthesia. It is the safest on the market today and we use it with confidence. We use a ventilator to ensure adequate ventilation. Blood/Oxygen percentage (Pulse-Oximeter), heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, blood pressure, ECG and Carbon Dioxide are all established and monitored by a trained staff member on surgical patients.
Special visits geared toward these youngsters include a puppy or kitten pack that explains what vaccinations your new pet will be getting and will need in the future. It also has brochures on training tips as well as emergency contact numbers.
Our veterinarians examine your pet beginning with vital statistics such as heart rate, breathing rate, temperature and beginning at the head, work from the tip of your pet's nose to the tip of the tail examining all external parts as well as using special instruments to examine the eyes, ears, heart, and lungs.As your pets get older, they start to develop age-specific problems.

When time is of the essence, we have in-house blood testing machines to give us valuable information on a pet right away. We also have send out testing services that allow for a larger range of tests. Results are returned in one to five days in most cases.
In addition to blood testing, we can also do in-house cytology, helping to quickly diagnose such things as ear infections, skin problems, and some cancer, including the most common type of skin cancer in dogs (Mast Cell Tumors).We perform general abdominal ultrasound and heart ultrasound (echocardiogram).

I needed a new vet close to campus and Dr. Hight and all the staff have been incredible. Dr. Hight has gone above and beyond every time to help my furr babies. I highly recommend Hight Veterinary Hospital for your pets. It has been a great experience each time and very affordable for the service they give! I am so grateful to them and all they have done for my pets.

I've been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. I recently used them for boarding as well, and have always had a great experience when working with them. The wait times are reasonable and I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Prices are on par with other vets that I've researched inside Charlotte, but their customer service has been what keeps me coming back.

Had an appointment at 3:00 and waited 45 minutes with 2 animals. Not good at all! Terrible experience, and they never acknowledge the ridiculous wait time. To make things worse I feel like I was overcharged for service that were provided. Time to find a new veterinarian. Enough is enough. Been with hight way too long (10 years) each year is getting worse no need to be treated this way.
