We love Weddington Animal Hospital. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. The office is very clean and the exam rooms are big. I love that the Drs. get on the floor with my dog.

My dog ended up having parvo like the doctor thought and she sent us to another hospital. I give 5 stars because they didn't charge me. They knew her care was going to be expensive and that was a extremely nice thing to do. Thanks guys. She is home now and doing very well.

I honestly can't say enough great things about WAH. Dr Faulkner is by far the most wonderful vet I've worked with. We recently switched my 8 year old lab to WAH from a place that truly showed no compassion for my boy. I am very much a worrier and a question asker and Dr Faulkner has been nothing but wonderful. He personally calls with updates and answers. The vet techs are so nice and Frank loved them. The front desk staff also is super friendly. I just feel so thankful we found such a great place. Thank you for the excellent care you provide!

I have had the BEST experience with Weddington Animal Hospital! My puppy, Louie, has has the best care from all doctors at their clinic and I couldn't recommend them enough! Every time I take him for an appointment (or emergency), they follow up with phone calls multiple times to make sure that Louie is healthy and happy! I have complete trust with him in their care and the doctors, vet techs and front desk staff couldn't be any more friendly or professional!

Ever since we moved to Charlotte we found such an amazing place in Weddington Animal Hospital. The team there is truly incredible, and very caring. Since we started we have had Dr. Faulkner, who has been the best vet we've ever had in our life, he cares beyond measure not only for our pets, but our family as well. They are so quick to respond and assist in any needs we have, especially in emergencies. We are so happy and lucky to be apart of such a fantastic hospital.
