This place is absolutely awesome. Everyone we came in contact with, from the Front Desk staff, to the doctors and assistants were super kind, knowledgeable, and wanted the best for our dog. We felt confident we had done the right thing by going there & Thank goodness, they were open to help us after our dog got hit by a car.

It’s always a panic when your loved pet needs immediate treatment. We are so very grateful for the excellent service and support we received at 2 AM in the morning for our Collie.
The service was incredible and care exceptional. Our Collie came home as a result of their expertise. A special thanks to Dr. Phillips for taking the time to share with us all of his findings and recommendations!

I’ve had emergency visits with CVS Rock Hill on more than one occasion and they are always very caring, patient and thorough. They take the time to explain everything very clearly and provide top notch care for my fur babies!

We Went to them at 130am and they immediately took our dog back. The staff was super nice and very upfront about the costs and options we had. I know some people on here say they didn’t like this because they felt it made the hospital seem focused on money but it wasn’t like this at all. They wanted us to know all possibilities and our options that we had and if we want to pursue all options that it would be expensive. This is going to be roughly same cost at all vets in my opinion. They told us what the charges would be for the diagnosis and our options and associated costs. Our outcome for our Great Dane was a very progressive cancer and the Dr’s were upfront on his chances of survival. We will def go back if needed in the future for our other animals.

I received a text that my mom’s cat of 12 years, Sweet Pea, wasn’t doing well. When I arrived and saw her condition, I knew it was very serious.
My wife and I called Carolina Veterinary Specialists in Rock Hill on our way there to explain the situation. When we arrived, we were greeted immediately, and within 30 seconds, Maria, the emergency technician, was at the front desk to take her for triage.
Maria was incredibly compassionate, honest, and professional. She explained that Sweet Pea’s body was shutting down and that treatment might or might not help, but she was upfront about all the possibilities. She presented our options clearly and respectfully, without overwhelming us—just the facts, delivered with empathy.
We made the heartbreaking decision to let Sweet Pea go, choosing comfort and dignity over uncertain treatment. Throughout the entire process, Maria was beyond kind and supportive. Afterward, she took a paw print, a nose print, a few whiskers, and a small lock of Sweet Pea’s fur, and placed them on a beautiful card with a handwritten note that my mom will cherish forever.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the entire team—and especially to Maria—who showed such compassion and care for Sweet Pea and for us. They treated Sweet Pea with the respect and gentleness she deserved, and made an incredibly difficult experience a little easier to bear.
