There is really nothing quite like coming home and being greeted by a furiously wagging tail or deep throaty purr. It's moments like these - and countless others - that make owning an animal such a rewarding experience. These creatures that pad their little paws into our lives and wiggle their way into our hearts and souls, somehow manage to change our lives without ever uttering a single word.
At Dogwood Animal Hospital, we understand how special your pet is to you. In fact, it is that precious bond you share with your four-legged friend that drives us to always do our very best, day after day.

We came in as a walk in. Sat in the room alone with no one coming to check in or anything. Finally the vet came in she was not personable at all. Then when i went to check out she charged me as an emergency vet appointment, even though first of all she literally did nothing and when i checked 3 hours prior i was not in the emergency vet time frame.
She also was clearly against breeding by the comments she made and the paper she gave me on getting my dog fixed. Awful service not worth the money i literally paid for nothing. The beat part about the place was the front desk girl. She was sweet and had great customer service skills.

Amazing Dr & staff. Truly compassionate and love your pet as much as you do. Recently had to put my 13y English Springer Spaniel down and they sat on the floor with me, offered comfort and today I even received a sympathy card from them. They also care for my 2 cats and Doberman puppy. They were excellent in helping me post my Dobermans ears. Cannot say enough good things about them

Amazing Vet and staff! My dog need to have cancerous mass removed. Other Vets needed to do all kind of extra test and cost. I found Dr. Ray Caughman, Jr.! Dr. Caughman is wonderful! They took care of my dog and got down to what was really needed and it was affordable! My dog is cancer free and is doing amazing! This is a veterinarian practice that loves your pets the way you do.
I highly recommend this business for everyone! Stress free visit and real customer service! If your pet is sick or just need a check up look no further! Thank you Erin and the rest of staff for all of your wonderful care! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The manager Brandi is all about money and not the well being of the pets. She is rude and an opportunist. Just this last week we had scheduled our dog for boarding at their facility. We made the appointment with weeks in advance but she waited until after we had dropped him off to call us and tell us there was a mandatory well visit charge even though our dog was seen just a few days before by their vet.
I even forwarded records of his anual well visit done at another facility and she refused to accept it. Not only she threatened to double the charge but she try to blackmail us saying she would not return our dog to us if we did not agree to the well visit. What kind of person threatens to hold a family's pet for ransom! Will NEVER go back here to put my dog in danger.

Dr. Thomas and Cristina were amazing! They didn't mind answering my 1000 questions as a new puppy owner and helped me develop a plan to get her well. The people we got her from didn't clue us in to her being sick, so I was really stressed to get her into a vet! They fit us in with her rapid breathing and assessed her. They eased a lot of my fears, and were very thorough. I don't know about price comparison, but they were no pressure and upfront on costs! This photo was at our visit today!

Amazing clinic! I cannot emphasize this enough. They care so much about the animals and their well-being. Dr. Caughman, Brandy, Brittney and all the other staff are so funny and amazing. I have had a blast helping at the hospital and would recommend anyone to go. Overall this has been one of the best experiences in my life and I can't thank the clinic enough. They sure will make you feel like part of their family! Love you all at the clinic! -Ian

Best vets ever! My puppy was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called Megaesophagus at 8 weeks of age. With the help and referrals from Dr. Young and Dr. Caughman, I was able to manage his condition. Not only did my dog survive, he thrived. He is now a healthy 1.5 year old German Shepherd who ended up outgrowing this awful disease. I have seen four vets prior to Dogwood and I have been told to put my puppy down.
According to them he was a hopeless case doomed to a life of misery and illness and that he likely wouldn't live another month. All the vets ran the same tests, an no one had any clue what was wrong with my pup. Everyone was guessing, and their guesswork cost me thousands of dollars. Dr. Young examined my dog and took one look at the x-ray she immediately figured out what was wrong with him. We are forever grateful to both vets. I don't know what I would have done without their help. I love Dogwood animal hospital.

It works best when you fill out forms at least a day beforehand. I waited for an hour just to get registered, and couldn't stay. I rescheduled and this visit went much smoother. Even when I was frustrated with the delays or raising my eyebrows at the prices, the staff at Dogwood Animal Hospital was unfailingly polite and friendly. They treated my puppy very well, too, petting him and holding him with care.
Their prices for vaccinations and deworming are too expensive, in my opinion. The price for ear cropping is reasonable. It's difficult to find a vet who knows how to crop ears correctly. It's not just surgery, it's also an art. The photos of past ear cropping look really good. I'll add to this after the ear cropping.

This vet has been absolutely wonderful! We looked into ear cropping when we first got our American Bully and after several weeks of research and talking it over, we decided to do it and after several more days of research ended up at this vet office! We drove over an hour and half, had his pre-op bloodwork done and they ended up having an opening for surgery so we left him overnight for surgery the next day, picked up him the day after surgery and he looks amazing!
We did pay more than the average that we had seen online but we are more okay with that since it includes everything pre-surgery, during surgery, and post-surgery. He’s had no problem healing, no signs of pain (just a itching), and Brandee even called a few days after to check up on him and also sent an email giving us the number to call if we ever had any questions!
He gets his stitches removed tomorrow and I will update with a picture after they’ve healed completely! I wish we lived closer, we’d use them as our regular vet for all of our animals!

Dogwood Animal Hospital, has been nothing but awesome! If you are looking to have your puppies ears cropped, this is the place to take your beloved pet. I brought Cash, my new Donerman puppy in at 8 weeks old to have his ears cropped. After doing my RESEARCH. I asked for a medium-high type crop. The most important advice is to keep going to see Dogwood Animal Hospital every week until the ears are done.
This is very important. The way that they post the ears is an awesome way of doing it and Cash, didn't mind them being posted at all. Great experience. Some of the best customer service I have had in long time as well. Cash, is now 5 months old and has been off of his posting for a week now. I could not be happier! Great job Dogwood AH! Glad to see the art is still great and available. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOGWOOD ANIMAL HOSPITAL!

This is the best Vet you could go to even if ur dog is old or whatever animal you may have my dog has a chronic ear problems so she needs to get her ears cleaned really good once a month, which I can never do at home so I take her to the Vet to get it don the vet tech was very nice and very understanding how my dog is since she is deaf and has separation anxiety at times and the Veterinarian Doctor Amy was even more understanding about how my dog is and took very good care or her ears I'm impressed and definitely coming back again next month to get my dogs ears cleaned again

We love Dr Caughman and Dr Amy and all of the staff at Dogwood . Brandee Is exceptional and the most kind and caring person . We have 4 furkids that all get the very best treatment and care and we know they are in the very best of hands when we bring them here . I highly recommend, you wont regret it. We are not just a number, they know all of our pets by name, all of their personality quirks and they take great care to support each one just as needed . One of our boys suffers from anxiety and they always take great care to meet him where he is and put him at ease , that to me is priceless.

I have been taking my animals (dogs and rats) to Dr Caughman for 20 years. He and the staff have always been amazing, honest, and willing to answer any and all questions. My current dog who at first was terrified of going through the door into the unknown now prances in like she owns the place. As I prepare to move out of state, I realised leaving Dr Caughman is highly emotional for me. Thanks to everyone for the love and excellent care you've given Harley, Koty, Sage, and the rat babies.
