I would recommend Foster Animal Hospital to anyone looking for a vet. We took our previous dog their years ago, after going to a few different ones prior to, and we loved them then, and continued going until our dog's passing a few years back. When we got a new puppy a few months ago, there was no question that we would return back to Foster. We have been with the new puppy twice and they have been fantastic. Everyone in the facility is so nice and friendly and helpful, and it's really just a great facility!

I've been going to Forster Animal Hospital for a few years now. I've brought my boyfriend's dog "Rocky" here many times to have his sugar checked, two surgeries, nails done. Everyone Dr, every young lady I've ever dealt with have been pleasant, kind, compassionate, passion As I gotten a "Snowy" a Great Pyrenees a little less then 5 months ago I've also brought her as well. The Dr, and all the young ladys have been very good to her also. "Snowy" actually loves going to the vet do to all the attention she gets from everyone.

As a 1st time owner of a Great Pyrenees I've gotten some really good advice from everyone. You can clearly tell that everyone has a true passion for animals. I wouldn't even think about bringing my baby to another vet. Young lady's "Don't" let your Caring Passion, love for all animals ever fade. You'll are awesome!

If there was 100 stars I would give it. Cocoa and I were both so scared when we came in today. Cocoa was so sick. Thank you so much for helping my angel. I have never met a more loving caring professional group of Medical Professionals. I am so very glad I left Poplar Animal Hospital. The care you gave to Cocoa was amazing. The Doctor and her nurse were wonderful with him and me. God bless and thank you again for helping my sweet boy to start to feel better. I know he is in good hands.

I cannot say enough about the sweet staff and doctors at Foster Animal Hospital. I recently switched vets on a recommendation from a friend that loves Foster and my expectations have been exceeded. The front desk is kind and prompt, everyone loves on my two pups, and Dr. Foster offers such compassionate care to my dogs. There are no hidden costs at appts. and no one is pushy to sell unnecessary treatments or products or services. I feel so cared for by the entire staff and could not be happier with the Foster team.

Our dog Ellie had to be hospitalized for the day for monitoring/fluids & we can't say enough about how sweet and caring Sharon was with her! Sharon also provided thorough updates to us on how Ellie was doing & genuinely seemed like she had been with Ellie every minute of the day. The front office staff was also very friendly & helpful. Ellie stayed the previous night @ Cabarrus Emergency Vet & her care was then transitioned to Foster's the next morning - everyone made the transfer seamless & just overall helped ease the stress of a scary situation. We had no doubt that she was in good hands throughout the day!
