I have using Plantation since my dog was a puppy. All the vets and staff are friendly, knowledgeable and sweet to my pup. The facilities are clean and attractive but It doesn’t feel cold and sterile like some vets.

I rarely leave reviews, however if I can prevent someone from going through what my family has today I will be happy. This has to be the most negligent team of vets in all of NC. Despite several check ups with plantation, I decided to get a second opinion on my 7 y/o dog who was experiencing bloody stool, vomiting and diarrhea. She received several clean bills of health from Plantation, so you can imagine my horror when I discovered that she had been suffering from lymphoma and several large tumors. They were negligent and I suspect they never even ran the test that they claimed because how could

I have had several issues with this animal clinic for about three or four years at this point. We begin taking my dog, Coco, here when she was a puppy. We had no issues originally, however there were multiple times were heard staff speaking on not only about our dog, but our family in a condescending and counterproductive manner. Following an annual check up in late May to June, Coco had a clean bill of health. Recently, we were experiencing issues with Coco not keeping her food down, blood in stool and excessive diarrhea, just to name a few. We had an appointment for Coco at 5:30 on Monday. I

Our cat needed to be seen ASAP by a vet. We easily got an appointment and had only a short wait to see Dr. Stanley. She was professional and so caring with Rosey. We have used this clinic for years for our dog and cats. We highly recommend it.

I was a walk-in since my dog was stung or bitten on her paw. The staff and Dr. Stanley were so helpful and understanding. Also, they were very thorough in examining and treating my dog. We left feeling better and cared for. I highly recommend Plantation Animal Clinic!

Dr. Samantha Stanley had been taking care of my little dog for 7 years. Last time, we came in for an annual check up , and he needed some shots. Dr. Stanley gave him pain medicine injection before giving him those shots. She did a thoroughly check on him and found things that I didn't see it. I kept coming back to the Plantation Animal Clinic because the doctor was great, the staffs were friendly and the place was always clean. Highly recommended this place

We’ve been going to Plantation for many years. We’ve asked for Dr. Reed and he’s thorough, caring and follows up with us. Recently during illness we’ve seen Dr. Sacco and Dr Pennings and love them both. Same thorough care and compassion we’ve gotten from Dr Reed. I would recommend these 3 doctors highly. Office staff is top notch.

First off I took this place for my dog that passed away a few weeks ago. They said he needed surgery so I paid $1000 for it and they ended up cutting him open and then calling saying they can't do it. So my dog ended up with stitches on his belly for no reason and I paid $1000 for them to cut him open and not do anything.

Today I went and my lab needed two shots. They took her in at 3:30 (appointment time) and I waited till 5:30 and finally called asking what was taking so long. THEY FORGOT ABOUT HER. She was done with shots at 4pm and she sat in a kennel for 1.5 hours because they forgot

We love this place, our favorite vet so far.

They can always fit you in, always call you back to check-in, and always listen to any concerns. You can tell every employee cares about your animal.

We really enjoy taking our pup, Hazel, to see the folks here. They always greet her with love and excitement when we walk in, and are very knowledgeable when there is a problem. Hazel needed to change meds when we were out of town and they worked to get it to us, so she could get better quicker. They are also very honest because when my husband dropped his wallet in the parking lot, they called right away and held it for us until the next day. You can definitely trust your pet will be in good hands here.

We've been taking our dog and cat here since we got them and they are wonderful. They diagnosed our pup with parvo before he was fully vaccinated and were able to get him the treatment he needed by sending us straight to CARE for emergency services. Dr. Reed has been taking care of my dog and has performed his Nare surgery to better his breathing and also put a few pins in his leg when he broke it as a puppy. Having a Frenchie comes with lots of potential health issues and I'm glad that they have been there to help us along the way. We regularly go to see dr reed but my cat has seen

Our last cat came to us as an adult from the animal shelter so when we welcomed a kitten into our home, we needed some advice about how to care for her. Dr. Murphy and the staff at Plantation Animal Clinic have given excellent care to both the kitten and to me. In addition to top notch medical care, we have boarded our cat at this facility giving us peace of mind as we travel. They treat Snowflake as a valued patient and a member of their family. They are an experienced and caring group of professionals.

This is a fantastic animal clinic. The front desk support staff are courteous and sweet to our pup, Max and cat, Kiki. All the technicians we have encountered have been exceedingly nice and helpful. Dr. Reed is patient and takes his time to make sure our fur-balls are doing well and to answer any questions we have. We don't feel like just another number here.

Oddly enough, my biggest endorsement stems from a miscommunication I had with one of the veterinarians. Long story short, my wife took our pup in and was told something different than what I had understood from the previous visit. Of

Best veterinarian care around. Dr Reed has taken such good care of my 14 year old dog and help us determine the best medical care options for her when she started having seizures. I have since moved away from Matthews but refuse to take her anywhere else. I highly recommend this veterinary clinic.

I'm not too sure what it is, but it appears veterinarian offices are popping up on every corner these days. I got my new girl from the Rowan County shelter last week and she needed a check up badly. After seeing the reviews for Plantation Animal Clinic I decided to reach out to them. You know a good place when you contact them (via Yelp by the way) and they respond. THEY RESPONDED FOLKS!!! I knew right then I was going to check them out for my puppy's check up.

I called them and the sweetest southern lady took all my information and set my puppy up with a check up appointment the

All of the doctors and nurses here are amazing with both my crazy energetic Border Collie and my not so sweet male cat. Whenever I go there the doctors spend time with my animals and not only give great advice on animal care, but also are very knowledgeable about the surrounding area for dog parks, trainers etc. I have also boarded my Collie there a few times and he always seems to be happy when I pick him up. It's also one of the cheaper places to house him.

My first visit to Plantation Animal clinic was due to an emergency need to put down our 13 yr old dog--his organs were just shutting down and it was time. I called around and had the most compassionate responses from Plantation as well as them being able to get us in the next morning--they took us walk in, but our wait was not too long. We sat in a comfortable room with a couch and a quilt/rug on the floor where I was able to spend some tender time with Daylin before saying goodbye. The vet was so compassionate and tender with both the dog and our family. It was a sad experience but one that was

We recently rescued a puppy and she had some unfortunate early health issues. We saw Dr. Murphy for the first time and he was gentle, thorough and helpful! Plantation took excellent care of her and even called after each visit to check on her. All of the technicians now know our sweet girl by name and they treat her like their own. I cannot say enough good things about Plantation Animal Clinic!

I originally reviewed Plantation in August 2014, right after I brought home my family's newest addition, Gucci, the energy-filled, Great Dane puppy. I was recently told that, with their new location, Yelp has insisted that Plantation start from scratch with their reviews. This makes no sense as they are the same Vet as before just in a different building. So, I felt I needed to repost my original review and add an update. Here is the original review:

We brought our dog (baby) in for a routine procedure and they crushed a disc in his back. First they denied it even though he was a perfectly happy and healthy 6 year old dachshund. Then the owner told us it was bound to happen anyways. Not only are they incompetent but they believe they can predict the future. Avoid this place at all cost!!!
