I sadly had to put my boy down but the vet assistant was an angel she was young blonde, and her dog was in a wheelchair before, but he got healed. I just want to say thank you to her because she went above and beyond and I think about her often. She was so kind & amazing. I wish I could personally tell her thank you.

At 10:45 I had to let my fur baby pass .. The staff was ever positive, professional, and so kind. Beyond my words they DO Care about your pet. I thank all of the staff on the evening of February 16th, 2026 for doing all they could to help, console and ultimately usher my beloved Best Friend to the Rainbow Bridge with all care and understanding for both of us. I personally thank you. My regret is I wasn't able to afford more...

I brought my cat to Airport Pet Emergency Clinic due to a urinary obstruction that developed after sedation at a general practice. Dr. Dolan was truly outstanding.
He clearly explained two treatment options and thoughtfully considered that my cat is older and had been recently sedated. I initially chose the more conservative option, but when my cat needed to return for catheterization under sedation, Dr. Dolan was excellent during both procedures. His communication was clear, calm, and honest, and I genuinely felt that his recommendations were centered on my cat’s welfare.
After stabilization, my cat—while catheterized—was transferred to a 24-hour emergency clinic in Asheville, where he was hospitalized for three days. I’m incredibly grateful to this practice for stabilizing him and setting him up for the care he needed next.
For an emergency hospital, the cost was also very reasonable. I sincerely hope I won’t need emergency services again, but if I do, I would absolutely return here.

If I could give O stars I would. I woke up at 5am in a complete panic after no sleep at all being up every 15 minutes to an hour to check on my dog who just had puppies a week ago and being 37 weeks pregnant myself. I woke up and my house looked like a crime scene, my dog was bleeding out of her vulva so much, so rapidly and it just wouldn’t stop. Every vet was closed due to the awful weather. Except 1, this one, 50 minutes away from me. I called to see if they were open explained the situation and they said bring her in. I’m in full blown panic obviously because I’m heavily pregnant and my dog is bleeding and it won’t stop. Mind you I got off bed rest after 3 weeks of being on it, hardly had any funds but I wasn’t about to let my dog die. So I packed up her and the puppies and off we went if absolutely horrible weather took over an hour to get there due to the conditions. When we got there everything seemed okay, but I did warn them my mama dog doesn’t really like males due to trauma before I had gotten her, she’s about 6, which they proceeded to ignore multiple times which stressed her out and set her off multiple times. We got there about 7am and they told us the morning Vet would be there by 8am she didn’t come in the room until 9am so 2 hours waiting panicking. The assistant took her temperature and heart rate when we got put in the room which took all of like 5 minutes. Afterwards we waited and waited and when the Vet finally came in they told me, a pregnant woman so visibly in a panic that we need to do an emergency spay and she needs a blood transfusion, mind you with absolutely no tests ran and never even touched or looked at my dog, this was all based off guessing and assumptions. They proceeded to give me two breakdowns the spay only, 2k, the spay with the transfusion, 3k. Or take my dog home and she’ll be dead by the morning. I begged them to stop the bleeding that I didn’t have the money I tried to apply for their help thing was denied and my minds clouded cause no sleep and full blown panic. The Vet was so terribly rude and even smirked at me when she told me if I couldn’t pay for surgery there was nothing they could do and that she’d be dead by morning if I took her home. But even if I had that money out of pocket, they ran no tests indicating this is for sure what she’d needed, wanted to keep her for a couple days away from her 1 week old puppies she was nursing and they told us there wasn’t a 100% guarantee she’d make it out of surgery. And I knew that if the puppies were taking away so soon from Mama that they’d die. After nearly 4 hours of just not knowing what to do I decided to take her home, I didn’t have the funds, I had to accept that she might die. I was heart broken I had lost my other best friend a year prior to this. It was Sunday and awful weather there was no getting a second opinion no one was open.. they proceeded to make me pay 254 for doing absolutely nothing and said welp she’ll be dead by morning. One assistant told us when places open Monday get her in to check her. I thought how weird the Vet is telling me she’ll be dead before morning but the assistant basically said go get a second opinion. When I was more clear minded, set an alarm every hour to check on mama and puppies, the next day we called every vet within a 75 mile radius and told them everything that happened and EVERYONE of them was disgusted with the behavior, lack of testing that was done, and the money grab they were trying to do to me. I called them and asked for a refund because they had done nothing. The same Vet told me no we did what we needed to and you couldn’t pay for surgery and I told you the risk of taking her home. Luckily my dog is okay and alive, but the fact that they won’t give me a refund for doing nothing. They took advantage of a heavily and emotional pregnant woman just to get a paycheck is absolutely awful. I wouldn’t suggest a single soul being their beloved babies here. Take them anywhere else!

If I can give them no stars absolutely an waste of time and gas we drove 50 mins to get there but we was in there 2-3 hours basically them telling us nothing wrong with our dog who is bleeding rapidly not to mention doctor was very rude and basically said if you take your dog home she will die before the morning but mind you ran no Xray or test on her they also wrote no CT Scan for her no one came an properly examed her just looked at her said the proceeded to say that was worth $150 and we explained not to bring an man in there she not found of men at the moment so they still made one come in then to top it all off treated us horribly there was one nurse who was the absolute sweetest to our dog I can't appreciate you enough but please do not take your dog there they want $2k-3k for an surgery that one you didn't even know for sure she would even need cause YOU RAN NO TEST then basically claimed you had no meds to give her to stop the bleeding but then you gave her something she can't even have and not supposed to have which mind you I spoken to many vets today who never even heard of the medicine but the fact you looked at two very emotional people and told us well you'll kill your dog if you take her home you wasn't even helping us but we had to cough up $257 for you to basically do nothing so I will never be bringing another animal to you because that service was absolutely awful and you just want to money grab people especially if there emotional so please save you guys the trouble of not going to them because it won't be worth it they knew and saw her bleeding and still didn't help stop the blood or anything. WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T TAKE YOUR FUR BABIES TO THIS PLACE!!!
