Steele Creek Animal Hospital 9729 South Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28273

"Got an almost immediate appointment for my puppy when I thought she was having a medical emergency. Turned out my pup was just fine, but the staff was so kind and caring through the entire process. Helped me relax through a scary situation with their skill and professionalism. Also, they adored how tiny my lil pom was. Dr. Schuver and her team will give you and your baby a five star experience. - Virginia and Fable"

"Very clean and organized vet. I volunteer for a national dog rescue organization and they've cared for several of our rescues. Recently took my mom's 15 year old pug to address an infection and the vet was thorough yet considerate of a 96 year old woman's fixed income."

"The best vets around! The entire staff is so kind and attentive. I've always felt that they care and don't try to push unnecessary treatments. As long as I live in the area they will be my go to animal care."

"We’re doing physical fitness/rehab at Steele Creek with my 14 year old Border Collie. It’s been a top notch experience! Sam is doing underwater treadmill sessions. Pictures included. Y’all, if your dog is struggling with range of motion or mobility, ask about this option with your vet, if at all possible to swing it in terms of budget! The consultation was relaxed and thorough, and the rehab techs are very attentive to my dog’s pain levels while also striving to make the experience as fun as possible. You can leave your dog and run errands if you like (they have a dedicated kennel area right in the rehab room). Or you can stay in the dedicated waiting area (there’s water and a restroom). Or you can watch the rehab session. My dog is a mama’s boy and needed me right there the first few sessions. The techs were very chill with this. And they all have impressive behavioral know-how to make Sam comfy, and ensure he was enjoying himself and also making progress at the pace that was best for him. After just three sessions, I was able to leave him partway through. And now I can just hand off the leash and read while Sam enjoys his “peanut butter time”! We’re working on arthritis related weakness and instability in Sam’s hips and he’s improving so much! We started out with Sam rapidly becoming unable to get up from resting, falling when walking even on flat surfaces, and being able to tolerate maybe ten minutes of neighborhood walks. The underwater treadmill sessions help by supporting his weight and removing the fear of falling, while retraining his brain to reach and stretch those muscles. That rebuilds and strengthens the muscles he needs to balance and support the arthritic joints. Also, it’s a fun game for Sam as he has to work to stay at the front of the tank to reach the peanut butter on the glass (see pictures)! They have non-peanut treats to accommodate allergies (both canine and human) btw. After a month of twice a week sessions, Sam’s back to being able to play fetch and “herd” his beloved indestructible egg toy. Our goal is getting back to hikes and swimming and maybe even very short herding sessions. I’ll add an update if we get there! The vet clinic itself is nicely laid out. They have a fenced offleash area where you can let your dog sniff and relax before their appointment. Every single employee from front desk, to kennel attendant, to vet techs and doctors, are both knowledgeable and very welcoming. I had a lot of experience with Steele Creek previously, as I worked at a dog day care uptown for three years and had to call and get immunization verifications. I’m really really terrible on the phone, so when I say that they are EXTREMELY helpful and pleasant — that’s something that means a LOT to me. I never hesitate to call and I know that the front desk will help out as best as possible in any situation. Access is the only slight downside. It’s SUPER WORTH IT though, don’t be discouraged by this! It’s off the northbound side of South Tryon. If you approach from downtown, Google will tell you to make a U-turn slightly past the clinic. South Tryon is pretty busy, and you’ll be waiting a loooooong time to make this turn. However, you can make a right turn on John Price, follow it back to South Tryon, and turn left at the light. I adore my current vet clinic (Totalbond Forestbrook in Gastonia, see review there). But if I lived closer, I’d definitely pick Steele Creek for our primary vet services."
